History
Established in New Jersey in 1892, CT Corporation has maintained a focus on registered agent services since its founding.[3] Its founding charter highlighted its role as an agent and trustee for corporations.
By 1895, CT had begun facilitating incorporation procedures for attorneys nationwide and inaugurated its initial office in New York City by 1899. By 1955, the company was managing over 75,000 statutory agent appointments.
In 1995, Wolters Kluwer acquired both CT Corporation and Commerce Clearing House (CCH), integrating them into its expansive global information services portfolio. The company expanded further in 2002 by purchasing Business Filings, Inc., an online incorporation service now operating under the BizFilings brand.
Following Wolters Kluwer's acquisition of Summation Legal Technologies in 2004, this entity was incorporated into CT’s Litigation Solutions division alongside CT TyMetrix. In 2006, CT restructured into four main segments: Compliance & Governance, UCC Solutions, Litigation Solutions, and Trademark Solutions—encompassing CT Corporation, CT Lien Solutions, CT Summation, CT TyMetrix, and CT Corsearch.
In 2018, CT Corsearch was sold to Audax Private Equity.
On March 6, 2023, CT was integrated into Wolters Kluwer’s Financial & Corporate Compliance business unit to advance technology-enhanced lending and compliance offerings.
In 2025, Wolters Kluwer bolstered CT’s corporate services capabilities for small businesses, mid-market firms, and legal practices throughout the U.S. by acquiring Registered Agent Solutions, Inc. (RASi).
CT supports comprehensive business lifecycle management and M&A transaction workflows. Its clientele includes approximately 70% of Fortune 500 companies and over 15,000 law firms—including nearly all of the AmLaw 100—and serves more than 300,000 enterprises of varying sizes.
The company holds a leading position in the U.S. market for corporate services and entity management solutions such as hCue-powered entity management systems, business license administration, UCC filing and search services, annual report processing, assumed name portfolio oversight, service of process management, incorporations, and dissolutions.
Effective April 1, 2025, Catherine Wolfe assumed the role of Executive Vice President and General Manager at CT Corporation.
CT Corp maintains a workforce exceeding 450 service specialists supported by a legal team dedicated to monitoring legislative developments affecting its core products and compliance trends.
Client satisfaction remains strong: 91% of customers express confidence in CT’s service delivery.
