Two state registries, three SEC forms and one Treasury list

The United States has no national business registry: each state keeps its own, and Delaware's is where most of the country's startups, venture capital funds and public companies are incorporated. Capital, on the other hand, is reported at the federal level. An issuer raising a round under Regulation D files a Form D with the SEC within fifteen days of the first sale; an adviser managing third-party money files a Form ADV with every private fund it manages; a manager with at least 100 million dollars in public equities reports its holdings every quarter on Form 13F. And the Treasury publishes, through OFAC, whom you cannot do business with.

Croma queries the Florida registry by document number and Delaware's by file number, opens any Form D or 13F by accession number and any adviser by CRD, and searches by name across the six sources, including the aliases OFAC records. Fifteen endpoints over six sources, with the same structured answer as the rest of the catalog and a free tool per endpoint to try without signing up.

Identifiers

What you query with

  • Document number and file number

    The keys of the state registries: the Sunbiz document number in Florida (a letter and digits) and the Delaware file number, which never changes. They open the company's record with its registered agent.

  • Accession number

    The identifier EDGAR assigns to every filing. Opens a complete Form D or a Form 13F with all its holdings, each with its CUSIP.

  • CRD

    The number the SEC and FINRA share for every investment adviser. Returns its Form ADV and the private funds it reports, from largest to smallest.

  • Name

    Legal name, officer, registered agent, issuer, manager or alias. It is the input of the searches in Florida, Delaware, Form D, Form ADV, 13F and OFAC.

Legal framework

Public records by design, with no omnibus federal law

The United States has no omnibus federal personal data protection law. What Croma queries are corporate and securities records the law requires to be published: the Florida and Delaware companies, the Form D, ADV and 13F the SEC publishes, and the OFAC sanctions list, which is meant to be consulted. Croma returns the record as it was published; the lawful use of the result, and your own country's law when you cross it with your customers' data, remain your responsibility.

Frequently asked questions

Six sources in fifteen endpoints: the Florida (Sunbiz) and Delaware business registries, the Form D filings the SEC has published on EDGAR since 2008, Form ADV with investment advisers and their private funds, Form 13F with institutional managers' holdings since 2013, and the OFAC sanctions lists. The full list is below, with every endpoint and its free tool.

No. For business registries it covers Florida and Delaware, which is where most of the country's startups, venture capital funds and public companies are incorporated, so it is the first registry checked on a US counterparty. The SEC and OFAC are federal: a Form D, a Form ADV, a 13F or a designation covers any entity in the country regardless of state.

Delaware is queried at the official source at the moment of the request. Sunbiz, Form D, Form ADV, 13F and OFAC answer from the dataset Croma keeps current with the whole source: Sunbiz, Form D, advisers and OFAC every day, private funds every month, and 13F as the SEC publishes the quarter's filings. The table shows each endpoint's mode.

No. It is the informational lookup of the registry. In Delaware it is the free record with name, incorporation date, class, type and registered agent; status, franchise tax and filing history are paid services of the Division. In Florida, Sunbiz publishes the status, the officers and the last three annual reports. If the number has no record, the answer is found: false. Croma tells you whether it is worth requesting the certificate.

Yes, as a source. The search covers the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) list and the consolidated list at once, over the primary name and every alias, and each result carries the programs, the type, the countries and the remarks where OFAC notes dates of birth, passports and tax numbers. It is updated every day and a removed party stops appearing that same day. Deciding whether a match is your customer remains your process.
