Our method

How to find out who is behind any other site

  1. Read the site's own legal pages

    Terms of use, privacy policy, imprint or legal notice: they name the company you contract with. For stubhub.com, the operator in the chain above comes from pages like these, from filings or from Wikidata.

  2. Look that company up in a register

    Companies House in the UK, SEC EDGAR for US public companies, the French Annuaire des entreprises, and the GLEIF LEI register worldwide give its legal name, number, address and status.

  3. Follow it to its parent

    Wikidata records parent organisations, owners and stock listings with dates; annual reports and filings confirm them. Check the date of each source: Wikidata can lag behind a sale.

  4. Run a Business Check

    Paste any address into our checker: it runs these lookups, reads the site, and returns a trust score from 0 to 100 with every source.
