Illinois official business entity search
The official search is run by the Illinois Secretary of State. Our checker could not open that site on 8 Nov 2026 (it blocks automated visits or did not load), so we do not link a URL we have not confirmed. Search for "Illinois business entity search" and use the result on the state government's own website.
The state record shows the legal name, status and registered agent, and often the people named in the filings; an LLC can name an agent company instead of a person. For a trade name, check the county's assumed-name records; for a licensed trade, the state licensing board's lookup.

Where a business's owner is on public record
1. The state business entity search. Every LLC and corporation is registered with a state office, usually the Secretary of State. The record shows the legal name, status, formation date and registered agent, and in many states the organizers, managers, members or officers named in the filings. An LLC can name a registered-agent company instead of a person, and some states do not publish members at all. Each state's search is listed below.
2. County records. A sole trader working under a trade name (a DBA, assumed name or fictitious business name) files it with the county clerk or the state, and that filing names the person behind it. The county assessor or recorder shows who owns the building, which is the business owner only when they own their premises.
3. Trade licensing boards. Contractors, plumbers, electricians and HVAC technicians are licensed in most states, and the license lookup names the license holder or qualifying person for the business.
4. The business's own website. The About or Team page often names the founder. This is where the owner names in 67Leads come from. How to find a small business owner's name.
5. Ask. Call and ask who handles the decision you care about.
This is general guidance on where records are kept, not legal advice; what each state publishes differs.
