I think you are talking about a private limited company. It does not matter what kind of business you are operating, a partnership, sole-proprietorship, private limited company or public limited company, it must be registered with a state company registry. The registry has all the information about the owners, partners, as well as the directors of a private or public limited company.

When a person wants to sue a business, he would conduct a company search. The search would review the names of the owner(s), the address of its registered office for service. There is a cost associated with such a search of course.

In the province where I live, I can contact the Registrar of Companies for such information. In the State of Ohio, I think it is: http://www.sos.state.oh.us/SOS/businessServices.aspx
