FAQs
A bring down is a verbal status or real-time online search result on official letterhead that you obtain from a jurisdiction. It reflects your entity's status at a certain date and time. You can use it to close the gap between the date of your last good standing certificate and the closing date, or to confirm good standing before you receive a long-form good standing certificate.
Bring downs are often needed for financial closings, due diligence searches, property transactions, assets sales, and mergers and acquisitions.
After a merger or acquisition, you may need to update your corporate records, both internally and with governing authorities like the secretary of state corporate division.
