How to read these records

The registration

One record per registry number, active in the Secretary of State's file. “Assumed business name” is a trade name registered by its owner; the others are legal entities. “Foreign” means formed outside Oregon.

Employer or not

The state's workers' compensation employer file lists employers with active coverage, with a range of employees (1–10, 11–49, 50–99, 100–499, 500 or more), an activity and an insurer. This site attaches it to a registered business when the name and the ZIP code are the same and the match is unique on both sides. No match is not proof that a business has no employees.

Contractor license

When the same name and ZIP code hold an active Construction Contractors Board license, the record gives its number.

What is not here

Registered agents, authorized representatives, mailing addresses, inactive businesses, and — for a business named after a person — the street address.
