It will give you baisc free information i.e. Business Status- Active, In-active etc. the date business starting doing business, and it will also let you know if the business is a domestic business (Created/ or Inc. in the state where it is located) or foreign business (Created/or Inc. in another state; for example business located in California but Incorporated/ Created in Delaware)
There are probably sites which offer to get info for you for a fee.
