Tracelight
Asset search

Find what they own.
Then find what they're hiding.

Collection agencies, judgment-creditor counsel, divorce attorneys, and SIU teams all need the same thing: a fast, defensible map of a subject's assets and entity affiliations. Tracelight runs corporate registries, property records, vehicle data, and beneficial-ownership intelligence in parallel and ships a structured asset brief in 60-90 seconds.

What this fixes.

PAIN 1
Manual asset searches across 50 state registries don't scale.
A single contested judgment-recovery target can take a paralegal a full week to map. The result is rarely complete; hidden affiliates and out-of-state holdings get missed.
PAIN 2
Beneficial-ownership data is fragmented.
Subject owns 30% of LLC A, which owns 60% of LLC B, which owns the property. Manually walking the chain across OpenCorporates + state SOS filings + property records is tedious and error-prone.
PAIN 3
Settlement leverage requires accuracy under pressure.
Going into mediation with an asset map that's 70% wrong because you missed two affiliated entities is worse than going in blind. Defensibility matters.
What gets checked

8+ data sources running in parallel.

OpenCorporates + Companies House + state SOS filings (US + UK + 130+ jurisdictions)
Property records + UCC filings (where publicly indexed)
Vehicle registration data (subset of states)
Cross-entity ownership chain walking (auto-pivot through beneficial-owner records)
Court records — bankruptcy + civil judgments + UCC enforcement
Domain WHOIS + DNS infrastructure ownership
Sanctions + adverse media for affiliated entities
Cross-case intelligence — same subject across other open matters
What you get

The report that lands on your desk.

  1. 1
    Asset summary with confidence ratings + age-of-source per finding
  2. 2
    Entity ownership chain diagram (force-graph network view)
  3. 3
    Property + vehicle + UCC table with jurisdictional breakdown
  4. 4
    Affiliated-entity table with sanctions / adverse-media flags per affiliate
  5. 5
    Citation appendix linking every claim to the originating registry record or court filing

Common questions.

Is this admissible for judgment-debtor exams?+

The underlying records (registry filings, court documents, property records) are admissible. The Tracelight summary is work product; you'll typically introduce the underlying source documents directly. The audit trail makes reproducing any specific finding trivial.

Does this cover offshore / international assets?+

Partially. OpenCorporates covers 130+ jurisdictions including most major offshore registries (BVI, Cayman, Nevis), but coverage is uneven and some jurisdictions don't publish enough to surface ownership chains. Tracelight is a strong starting point for international asset discovery; specialty offshore search firms remain useful for complex cases.

How do you handle private trusts + family entities?+

Trusts are intentionally opaque in most jurisdictions. Tracelight surfaces what's publicly observable (named trustees, registered trust addresses, real-estate holdings under trust names) but cannot pierce a properly-structured private trust without a court order. We're the OSINT layer, not subpoena power.
