01
We find the company
We search the registry for the owner name on your list, old names included, and keep every company that could be the one.
LLC owner lookup
Owned by an LLC? Find the people behind it.
When the owner on your list is a company, we look it up in the state’s business records, show you why it’s a match, and list the people on file with their roles. Nobody gets searched until you confirm the company.
The matching company, the people on file with titles and dates, and the registered agent off to the side.
Your value and the value on file, side by side.
The only company with this name. A different mailing address is a note, not a reason to reject it.
Two companies share the name, so you see both and choose.
When the manager is another company, we follow it and show where the chain ends.
How it works
From a company name to a phone number. Three steps.
02
We show our work
For each one you see what lines up, what’s shaky and what doesn’t fit. Only a document number from your own list confirms a company automatically.
03
You pick who to call
Confirm the company, then choose a manager, member or officer. We search that person using the address on the filing, and you review the result like any other.
How we match
When it’s a match, and when it isn’t. Same rules every time.
These rules are built in. Nobody bends them case by case.
| What we see | How strong | What we do |
|---|---|---|
| The company’s document number is on your list | Confirmed | We accept it. This is the only automatic match. |
| Legal name and mailing address both match | Strong | We recommend it and wait for your okay. |
| An old name of the company matches | Good | We show the old name and when it changed. |
| Same name, same city, nothing else | Weak | It stays in review. A city match alone isn’t enough. |
| The address is shared by more than five companies | Weak | We treat it as a registered agent or a mail drop. |
| Your mailing address is the registered agent’s | Weak | We tell you. The agent’s office isn’t the owner’s address. |
| The mailing address on your list isn’t on file | A note | We show both. Tax bills often go to a manager or bookkeeper, so it doesn’t count against the match. |
| Your mailing address is a manager’s or member’s address on file | Strong | We count it. That’s often where the tax bill goes. |
| The only company on file with this exact name | Best match | We pick it and show why. You confirm it before anyone is searched. |
| Same street, different unit | Doesn’t fit | It stays in review, with both values side by side. |
| The company was formed after the purchase date on your list | Doesn’t fit | We flag it. It couldn’t have bought the property then. |
| Two companies have the same name | Unclear | We show both and never pick one for you. |
Roles
A manager isn’t always an owner. We keep the titles straight.
The state only lists the people a company named in its paperwork. We keep each title exactly as filed and tell you what it does and doesn’t mean.
- Managers, members and officersShown with their titles. Past roles show when they ended.
- Authorized representativesFlorida describes them as people appointed to file records, so we label them as filers, not owners.
- The registered agentThe contact for legal papers. Listed separately and never searched as an owner.
- Odd abbreviationsSome titles only make sense on the filing itself. We tell you when that’s the case instead of guessing.
Holding companies
An LLC owned by another LLC? We follow the chain.
When a manager is another company, we look that one up too and list its people.
- Up to three levels deepTwelve lookups at most. Enough for typical holding setups, without running wild on huge ones.
- Loops get caughtIf company A manages B and B manages A, we stop and show you the loop.
- Dead ends stay visibleA company we can’t find in the registry is marked as not found, not quietly dropped.
Coverage
What LLC lookup won’t do.
- Fourteen states and DC searched directlyFlorida, Alaska and Iowa from their official data files; Colorado, Connecticut, DC, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Texas through official open-data services; Alabama and Idaho through their own public search; North Dakota, New Mexico and West Virginia on their official websites. Leave the state blank and we search all but those three at once. Texas and Iowa publish active companies only. Every other state gets a one-click link to its own official search, because it offers no free data service or doesn’t allow automated searches. We don’t search those states for you yet.
- Not a beneficial ownership reportState filings list the people a company named. They don’t prove who owns or controls it, and we don’t claim they do.
- Public registry records onlyWe look companies up in each state’s own registry, not in paid company-data services. Every company links to its official record and its OpenCorporates page so you can check it yourself.
- You make the callEvery company waits for your okay, unless you gave us its document number.
When you export a manager or member found through a company, the property address, the owner’s mailing address and the address on the filing each get their own column, next to the company’s name, number and match. Carrying your record ID and custom columns through a company search is still being built. See CRM export.
