Each state has their own corporate name databse. For ex: http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/business_services/corporation_search/home.html is for Illinois. You look up the the details there. Lot of companies run the operations under DBA or assumed names. It may not have Inc or corporation in them. Its perfectly legit and common practice
