Registered Entity
A business that has become a legal entity by registering with a U.S. Secretary of State (SoS).
A business may form in one state ("domestic registration") and register with other states to conduct business there ("foreign registration"). Enigma joins these records together to represent the single entity they constitute. Each state's SoS is the ultimate source of truth for these records.
