A company profile typically comes back from the register in 4 s in prefill mode and 6 s in verification mode.
These are typical observations, not a service-level commitment: set your timeouts well above them.
The registers this country’s data comes from. Secondary sources only enrich or check what the registers return.
Official South Carolina business entity register maintained by the Secretary of State and served through the Business Entities Online portal at businessfilings.sc.gov. Covers every domestic and foreign entity registered under Title 33 of the S.C. Code of Laws: business corporations (Chapters 1-20), statutory close corporations (Chapter 18), professional corporations (Chapter 19), nonprofit corporations (Chapter 31), limited liability companies (Chapter 44), limited partnerships (Chapter 42), and limited liability partnerships (Chapter 41). The portal exposes legal name, the public Entity Id, entity type, current status, domestic/foreign flag, incorporated state, key dates (effective, expiration, term-end, dissolved), the registered agent and agent address, the full filing history, and any former names. Sole proprietorships and general partnerships do not file with the SoS and are out of scope.
