The Doors Are Closed.
The Trail Isn’t.
When a commercial customer closes, relocates, or changes its business identity, unanswered calls don’t tell the whole story. BSA traces the business, identifies decision-makers, and investigates assets to help you assess your recovery options.
Commercial Skip Tracing
Beyond the Last Known Address
Returned mail, disconnected numbers, and changed business names can leave your team without a clear contact. BSA connects business records, address history, and related entities to locate the company and identify the people who can address the account.
Locations & Contacts
Research current and prior business addresses, phone numbers, and other contact points.
Decision-Makers
Identify principals, officers, and the people who can address the account.
Related Entities
Research affiliates, name changes, and connections between business entities.
Field Verification
When appropriate, an in-field visit can help verify the business location and activity.
Finding the business is only the first step
Contact and entity findings help guide the next step: reaching decision-makers, evaluating assets, or considering escalation.

Connect the Dots.
Find What Others Miss.
A database result is a lead. We compare business filings, address history and related entities to see where the company operates and who may be able to address the account.
Know More Before You Decide What Comes Next
Locating a business answers where. Asset investigation helps answer a different question: what does the available information suggest about recovery?
BSA researches publicly available and commercially relevant information to develop a clearer picture of a business’s apparent assets, operations, obligations and related interests. Those findings can help creditors assess what steps warrant further consideration.
Real Property
Research real estate ownership and property records associated with the business or relevant parties.
UCC Filings
Review financing statements that may identify secured interests, collateral relationships or existing creditor positions.
Liens & Judgments
Identify available records that may reveal existing claims, judgments or other obligations.
Business & Corporate Interests
Research ownership structures, affiliated companies, officers and related entities.
Litigation & Bankruptcy Records
Review available court and bankruptcy information that may materially affect recovery strategy.
Equipment, Vehicles & Other Indicators
Research additional potential assets or operational indicators where reliable information is lawfully available.
Asset Intelligence Can Change the Recovery Decision
Before Escalation
Does available information support investing more time and resources?
During Negotiation
What context may help evaluate a proposed resolution?
Before Legal Review
Are there apparent interests worth discussing with qualified counsel?
After Judgment
Could updated research inform lawful enforcement efforts?

INDUSTRY CONTEXT
Investigations built around the account.
Every industry leaves a different paper trail. The contract, the payment chain, and the way businesses in that industry reorganize all shape what we research and who we contact.
Oil & Gas
Operators change, working interests are sold, and service companies re-form under new names. Research into operator records, related entities, and principals helps clarify who can address an unpaid energy account.
Explore oil & gas collectionsConstruction & Contractors
When a contractor stops responding or a project involves several companies, business research can identify current contacts and the entities connected to the unpaid work.
Explore construction collectionsLogistics & Transportation
Carriers and brokers can shut down and reappear under new operating authority. Comparing business filings, addresses, and principals helps connect an unpaid freight balance to the people behind it.
Explore logistics collectionsPrivate Equity & Portfolio Companies
Acquisitions, mergers, and restructurings can leave a portfolio company unsure which entity owes the balance. Entity and ownership research helps identify the right party before recovery efforts resume.

Once findings are verified, commercial mediation can reopen communication, and an in-field visit can confirm a location in person. Substantial balances may call for a large balance collection strategy, and qualifying claims can be reviewed for referral through our nationwide legal network.
COMMON QUESTIONS
What to know before an investigation.
What information should I provide?
Start with the debtor’s business name, last known contact information, invoices, agreements and recent communications. Prior addresses, related company names and the names of people involved can help establish a useful research trail.
Can you research a business that moved or changed its name?
We compare available business filings, address history, officers and related entities to develop leads and verify connections. A shared name or address alone does not establish responsibility for a debt.
Does locating assets guarantee payment?
No. A record may suggest an ownership interest, but existing liens, secured interests, exemptions, disputes and other facts can affect recovery. Findings inform the next decision; they do not guarantee payment or establish that an asset is available for collection.
Are investigations limited to Texas?
No. BSA works with commercial creditors nationwide and researches connections wherever the business, its principals, or its assets lead. Our location guides cover markets across the country, with the deepest coverage in Texas.
What happens after you verify the findings?
We assess the information alongside the account documentation. The next step may involve contacting the right decision-maker, negotiation, additional research or discussion of escalation options.
