Frequently asked.
A short list of the questions that come up most often about how Ownswho works.
- Reports start with primary sources where they exist: SEC filings, company registries, official corporate disclosures and exchange records. Those are linked inline so you can open the document and check the claim yourself. Private companies file far less, and where the record is silent the report says so rather than guessing.
- Every report carries its original publication date, and ownership changes. A report is revised when a corporate event makes it wrong and that change comes to our attention, not on a fixed schedule. If you spot something out of date, email ownswho@gmail.com and it gets corrected.
- Yes. Visit the Submit Information page or email ownswho@gmail.com with the brand, company or question you'd like covered.
- Yes, with a caveat: private companies disclose far less, so those reports lean on incorporation records, court filings, press disclosure and company statements. Valuations of private businesses are third-party estimates, not measured figures, and are labelled as estimates.
- Email ownswho@gmail.com with the article title and the specific correction. Where possible, include a source. Corrections are made promptly.
- Yes. The site carries Google AdSense advertising, but adverts are placed automatically by Google and no advertiser sees a report before publication. No company covered here has paid for coverage, and there are no affiliate links.
