# Michigan

Company data from the Michigan business register, through the Topograph API.

> **Beta**: this country is in early development. Some datapoints or documents may be missing, the integration may be unstable, prices may change without notice, and it is not covered by SLAs.

## Overview

Topograph reads Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), MiBusiness Registry and returns the company profile, legal representatives and other key persons of Michigan companies through one API.

## Coverage

What comes back for each datapoint and document, as on the coverage matrix.

Requests run in prefill mode (fast) or verification mode (the authoritative register answer).

| Datapoint | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Company profile | Yes |
| Legal representatives | Yes |
| Other key persons | Yes |

| Document | Returned |
| --- | --- |
| Register extract | Yes |
| Articles of association | No |
| Financials | No |
| UBO extract | No |

### Documents, as the register names them

- MiBusiness Registry Entity Detail (printed)

### Speed

A company profile typically comes back from the register in 2 s in prefill mode and 3 s in verification mode. These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
