Is my business information confidential?

Only certain information is available to the public – for example, business and owner names, physical and mailing addresses, and business types. This information is printed on your business license certificate. We do not disclose phone numbers, e-mail addresses, or financial information to the public, except as required by law.

Per Business and Professions Code Section 16000.1(a)(2), you may protect your residential business address by substituting an appropriate alternative address such as a post office box or private mail box that accepts service of process.  Please provide an appropriate substitute address in writing if you do not want your residential address on your business tax certificate.
