可能看了B站太多“佛罗里达不养闲人”的搞笑视频，最近在审核与该地企业签订的合同时，就犯嘀咕了，企业靠谱不？
审核经济合同时，首要的是调查该企业的背景信息，国内企业可以通过查询企业信用信息公示系统或者商业的查询网站进行初步判断，需要更细致的信息，可以通过律师调取企业档案，或者付费支付商业网站。
国外的企业呢？以佛罗里达的企业为例：
打开该州政府网站https://dos.fl.gov/
选择sunbiz.org
选择search records
可以根据条件搜索企业，这里以名称搜索为例
搜索Gatorade
会列出在该地注册的所有的含Gatorade的企业，Active可以理解为国内查询的开业状态，点击进去
显示该企业的基础信息，往下拉会显示年报
如果需要详细信息需要收费，输入接收邮箱，付费即可。
