Five example searches, three matching stagesThe examples show the matching method returned when this page was generated.
Organisations open on their company page; sovereign limited partners have commitment summaries here. Multiple matches open a list for you to choose from.
Search methods
Search tries these methods in order and stops at the first with a match. Exact identifiers take precedence over names; partial-name matches are the last resort and require confirmation.
Search 147,067 organisation records
76,413 organisation records are publicly browsable; searches also include variant records that can resolve to them. SEC filings supply 64% of those links (66,626 of 103,771 in the snapshot dated 2026-10-22).
Recorded aliases include former names and local-language spellings. The final method finds names containing your search text; it cannot correct a misspelling.
Search and ownership methods
Matching order
A match at an earlier method prevents later methods from running. An organisation-name match therefore takes precedence over the same name in the designation or limited-partner records.
Documented parents
The search follows up to eight parent relationships, with a source class and date for each. It stops at a government parent or one with both an SEC filer number and a ticker, or when no further parent is recorded.
Licensed sources
Public results identify the source class and link to available primary sources. Licensed record details are excluded.
The export-control impact tool follows ownership towards subsidiaries and facilities to estimate the reach of a hypothetical designation.
