Partnership ownership lookup
Find every partner in a general partnership — including their corporate affiliations.
2 API calls · $0.01How can I find who the partners are in a Florida general partnership? A property deed, contract, or business listing names a general partnership. Unlike LLCs and corporations, partnerships don't have "officers" — they have partners, each with shared liability. Knowing who those partners are matters for due diligence, lending, and legal research.
In this example, a commercial property is owned by "Bay Associates" — a general partnership. A lender wants to know who the partners are before extending a loan.
The lookup
E00000054321L18000234567What you learn
/corporations/detail reveals who runs that LLC.From a partnership name, you now have:
- All partner names and types (individual vs corporate)
- Corporate partner charter numbers for deeper lookup
- Partnership principal address and filing date
- Confirmation the partnership is active and not expired
For the corporate partner, use their charter number with /corporations/detail to see officers and registered agent. Total cost for the partnership lookup: $0.01.
