LEGAL BENEFIT COMPANY DIRECTORY

Purpose,
on record.

A searchable megalist of statutory benefit entities, with a source behind each record and a clear distinction between legal form and private certification.

Find corporations, explore related benefit LLCs and cooperatives, and check the record’s date and standing. Historical entries stay available without being presented as currently active.

Snapshot: October 11, 2026 · 20 jurisdictions represented · national census not yet complete

EVERY STATE HAS A COVERAGE RECORD

What the list covers.

“Complete filtered extract” means every record returned by the named legal-form query in that official source. It does not include former benefit entities reclassified into other types or promise a complete historical census.

A state’s zero imported records means no entities from that jurisdiction are in this release; it does not mean the state has zero benefit corporations. Official lookups may require accounts, fees, JavaScript or challenges. Foreign registrations are not automatically distinct domestic corporations. State public authorities and nonprofit public-benefit corporations are excluded.

PROPOSED PATH TO A COMPLETE NATIONAL CENSUS

Make benefit status
easy to find.

Standardize the public record.

Ask every filing office to expose the benefit designation, its effective date, current standing, legal form and stable company ID in a free CSV or documented API. Keep domestic formation distinct from foreign registration and preserve amendment history.

Import and reconcile.

Acquire official subtype extracts and lawful bulk orders, reconcile aliases and foreign registrations, and preserve source revisions. No personal home address or private contact data is needed for this company directory.

Measure coverage.

Verify each state query against the source count, disclose exclusions and refresh dates, and track designation changes. A national-complete label requires evidence for every applicable jurisdiction and legal form.

Read the proposed registry-data requirement in Section 9 →

READ THE EVIDENCE, NOT THE LABEL ALONE

Three different facts.

Statutory legal form.

A registry designation or an explicit corporate filing supports a specific legal-form claim. A company’s name, mission statement or certification alone does not establish its benefit status.

Standing at a date.

Registry Active and Good Standing describe the source’s snapshot. Recent filings describe what an issuer reported. An annual report or older offering filing does not establish current registry standing or mission compliance.

Private certification.

Certified B Corporation is a private certification. This directory does not infer certification and does not import a certification directory as proof of a statutory legal form.
