Mimir
Ownership

The name on the deed is a company. We find the person.

US LLCs don’t file their owners anywhere public, so a registry lookup dead-ends at the shell every time. Mimir cracks it from what owners actually do: the deeds, the addresses, the agents, the timing. You get the person, and the proof.

01Why registries fail

The filing you want does not exist

US companies do not have to name their owners publicly. FinCEN exempted domestic companies in March 2025, and New York's own transparency law keeps its filings confidential. There is simply no filing to look up, so every registry vendor dead-ends at the shell. Vendors that guess from behaviour sell you an estimate you cannot re-check.

  • No public ownership filing exists for US domestic LLCs
  • What owners actually do in the record is the only route to the person
  • Mimir reads those filings, and shows its work on every link

02How the inference works

Five behavioral signals, scored together

Control is inferred from what parties actually did in the record, not from a self-declaration. Each signal contributes to a confidence score that travels with the edge, so a reviewer can see exactly why a link exists and how strongly it holds.

  • Deed and transfer patterns across entities
  • Shared mailing addresses, capped to defeat agent fan-out
  • Registered agent and DOS process-address overlap
  • Co-borrower and co-signer relationships on recorded debt
  • Timing correlation across filings

Illustrative walkthrough · synthetic data

From a deed to a person, in four hops of paper.

The same synthetic case that runs through this whole site, seen from the ownership screen.

  1. 01Start at the building441 Vanderpool Street, Brooklyn. The deed (ACRIS 2019041100428001, recorded 2019-04-11) names VANDERPOOL HOLDINGS LLC, a company, so a registry search ends here.
  2. 02First step: behaviorVANDERPOOL HOLDINGS LLC shares a registered agent and a mailing address with HARROW STREET CAPITAL LLC. Both facts are filings; both are shown on the link, which carries 0.82 confidence.
  3. 03Second step: the personHARROW STREET CAPITAL LLC's state process address matches five other companies, all of them tied to A. Reyes. The link shows the filings and carries 0.74.
  4. 04Check the workEvery step expands to its documents. Nothing asks to be trusted; everything asks to be checked.
  5. Where you landA. Reyes — 23 properties, 6 entities, 214 units, $41.2M recorded debt. Two companies deep, both hops sourced and scored, about four seconds of work.

04Measured, not asserted

What the chain actually covers.

Counted the strict way: only buildings whose deed named a company and whose route to a person is built and documented.

These exclude the 9.20M properties that name a person directly on the deed — nothing to unmask there. Counting those would inflate the number, so we do not.

05What buyers ask

Straight answers.

If the government does not publish owners, how can this be legal to infer?

Every input is a public filing: deeds, corporate registrations, recorded mortgages. Mimir draws inferences from documents any person could read at the county, and shows which documents. Nothing is scraped from private sources, bought from data brokers, or asserted without a filing behind it.

How is a confidence score different from the vendors you criticize?

The difference is what travels with it. Other vendors hand you one opaque number for the whole answer. Mimir scores each step separately and attaches the filings that produced it. You can audit the exact step you doubt, and throw it out without losing the rest of the chain.

What happens when you are not sure?

The chain stops, and says so. A weak link is not shown as fact; the screen tells you what was found and what was missing. An honest dead end beats a confident guess. A guess costs you in diligence. A dead end costs you a phone call.

Does this cover every LLC in your footprint?

No, and the number above is deliberately conservative: 961K properties across New York and Florida trace through a company to a person today. Where the filings do not support a link, we do not draw one.

Can I see why a specific link exists?

Always. Every link expands to its evidence: the source system, the record id, the recorded date, and the score. That is the difference between an answer and a claim.
