Louisiana commercial-services companies, each traced to the filing that flagged it.
Origination is still bought by the hour, and it stops the day the analyst stops. We read Louisiana’s public record instead, across all 64 parishes and a dozen agencies.
You would receive five Louisiana commercial-services companies each Monday, each carrying a one-page brief, the filing that flagged it, and the name of the person who signs for the company on the record.
How a company gets onto a list
- You tell us your thesis. Parishes, sub-sectors, size range, deal shape, and what you will not look at. The exclusions matter as much as the criteria.
- We read the public record. geauxBIZ — the Louisiana Secretary of State’s business registry — for registrations and status changes; contractor license renewals and lapses; parish UCC filings; commercial property transfers; succession notices. All free, all public, and all scattered across 64 parishes and a dozen agencies that do not talk to each other.
- We screen what we find against your thesis and write up what matches. Everything that does not match is dropped, and we can tell you why.
- Every fact is checked against the original filing before it reaches you. Not against a summary, an aggregator, or a database that once copied the filing. The filing.
Who does the reading
The reading, screening and writing are done by AI agents rather than by analysts. Which makes the next sentence the one that matters:
The work is divided so that nobody checks their own findings. Whoever surfaces a company does not get to clear it, and nothing reaches you without that second pass.
Verification means one thing mechanically: the checking agent re-opens the named filing and compares it field by field against the brief. If the filing cannot be retrieved, or a field does not match, the company is dropped from that list rather than sent with a caveat attached.
A signal that cannot be traced back to an original filing does not ship. That rule is not a preference we could quietly drop on a slow week; it is written into how the work is divided.
What “a named route to the owner” means
Less than it sounds like, deliberately. Each company comes with:
- The name and role of the person who signs for the company on the public record — the registered agent, an officer, or the qualifying party on the contractor license.
- The specific filing that name came from.
- The business address of record.
Never a personal phone number, never a home address, never a personal email, never a profile pulled from somewhere else. Everything in the route traces to one filing you can pull yourself.
Here is the company, here is who signs for it, here is the filing that says so. The approach is yours to make or not make. We never make it.
There is no button on this site that asks us to introduce you, because there is no version of this service that includes one. What we never do sets out the rest.
Why this exists
Of the searchers who launched between 2021 and 2024, only 48% had acquired a company by the end of 2025. The aggregate rate since the first report is 58%, and acquiring a company typically takes around 20 months, most of it spent searching. Services was the number one target industry for searchers in both 2024 and 2025.

Twenty months is mostly reading. We read one state’s public record so that part of it is not yours to do, in the sectors we cover: HVAC, electrical, marine and industrial services.
What it costs
List price is $500 a month.
There is nothing to buy on this page. We are not taking payment and no list has shipped yet. What we are looking for is a first group of searchers who will read the list and tell us plainly what they would pay for it.
We are not going to quote you a count of filings read or parishes covered. Those numbers would be ours to check and we have not shipped a list to check them against, so for now the only honest evidence is the method above and the sample brief.

Questions
- Why did I get this company?
- Every brief names the filing that triggered it and the criterion in your thesis that it matched. If neither convinces you, tell us and we will re-screen that criterion.
- Where does this come from?
- Louisiana public records, named so you can inspect them yourself: geauxBIZ registrations and status changes, contractor license renewals and lapses, parish UCC filings, commercial property transfers, and succession notices. All of it is free to look at. The work is in reading all of it.
- Do you contact the owners?
- No. Not ever, under any circumstance. No click on this site can cause it either — there is no control here that could.
- What if a fact is wrong?
- Tell us. Every fact is checked against the original filing before it reaches you, so a wrong one is treated as a failure of that check rather than as a complaint, and it gets escalated as one.
- Do other subscribers get the same companies?
- A company can appear on more than one list, if more than one thesis matches it. We do not sell exclusivity, because the filings are public and anyone may read them. What you are paying for is that someone read them.
- Can I change my thesis?
- Yes, at any time. It takes effect on the next list, and we keep the history so we can tell a drifting thesis apart from a bad screen.
