Searchers here's how to find the owners of an unsexy small business that does not show their leadership on their website and not on LinkedIn.
1 - Signup for an Apollo account. (FREE) Search by domain. It will show you the leadership and emails. BUT what if they're not on Apollo either? 2 - Signup for a library card. Yes, you read that correctly. You should be able to do this online. 3 - Once you have that library card, you will now have FREE access to the $75,000/year Data-Axle database with 94 million business listings in it. 4 - Search for the name of the business you want to buy. You will find all the leadership in the business listed. 5 - Email them by trying various combinations of the owner's name added to their website domain.
You will be shocked how many businesses have ZERO LinkedIn presence at all (at least I have been).
