I know the owner's name , but not the company name he/ she ownes of a private company, how do I find this?

Answer 1

You could always try the http://www.BBB.org where there are a few different search criterias available. You can try looking by type of business within a certain mile radius of a zip code. Provided that you know that much.

Answer 2

Have you tried put the person name on the web search field at the top of the screen. If the person is well know it will give you all web sites that have their name in some form or another.

If you want to pay their are difference sites you can go to but it will cost you from $10 - $50 and you can get all type of information.

Answer 3

It may depend on what state the company is incorporated in. When companies incorporate, many have to register their fictitious name with whatever state agency regulates corporations (for example, in Pennsylvania it is the Pennsylvania Department of State). They may have a searchable database where you can search by name to find a corporation (i.e. in PA you can search UCC filings online http://www.corporations.state.pa.us/ucc/soskb/SearchStandardRA9.asp?corpsNav=|)

I'd start by looking for information on the website of the department of state for the individual state it is located in. (NOT the U.S. state department - that's completely different.)

I hope this is helpful. Good luck!
