Can the Secretary of State investigate complaints about a corporation or other business entity?
No. The Secretary of State is a ministerial filing officer. We can tell you an entity’s name, registered agent, registered office address, and status. We cannot investigate or regulate the internal affairs of any entity, including how it runs meetings, does business, elects officers, or treats its shareholders.
