Owner Data

Know the owner before you reach out.

Equitle researches the person behind every company: their age, how long they have run it, what kind of operator they are, their court record and who, if anyone, is lined up to take over. Every fact comes with its source.

Everything in Owner Data.

Owner identity

The owner’s name and title on every company. A LinkedIn profile is attached only when it is clearly the right person.

Estimated age

Tenure

When they founded or bought the company, and the milestones since.

Operator type

Owner-operator, second generation, absentee or partnership, with the evidence for each.

Litigation and records

Court cases, liens, judgments and bankruptcy filings found in public records.

Succession and holdings

Whether a successor is named, family in the business and the other companies they own.

Questions about Owner Data

From the company’s own pages, public court records and filings, local press, licensing boards and more than 20 data providers. Every fact shows the source it came from.

From dated facts such as a graduation year, a professional license or a bio that mentions a milestone. The estimate shows its basis and a range, and stays blank when there is nothing to go on.

No. Equitle searches public court records, filings and local press found on the web and shows what it finds with a link to each. It does not pull credit reports or private databases.

Equitle leaves the field blank instead of guessing. A wrong owner or the wrong person’s profile is worse than none.
