About SilverFlume
What is SilverFlume?
SilverFlume is Nevada's online one-stop business portal that consolidates the forms and information needed to start and run your company. SilverFlume eliminates about 80% of redundant registration steps by collecting your information and using it to streamline your interactions with partner agencies. SilverFlume simplifies governmental compliance, enabling you to focus on growing and operating a successful company.
What's in a Name?
When SilverFlume launched in 2012, Nevada Secretary of State Ross Miller wanted to distinguish Nevada's business portal from the vast array of other "portals" available on the internet. Seeking a unique term with Nevada roots, Secretary Miller branded the state's business portal "SilverFlume", Flumes are artificial water channels and were used extensively to carry minerals and timber in a quick and efficient manner in the mines that made Nevada “The Silver State". SilverFlume replicates the fluidity of those waterways by acting as a portal for the transfer of information. Whereas the internet is filled with "portals," there is only one SilverFlume.
