How to find a business owner's email address

The quickest way to find a business owner's email is a contact database that lists the owner by name and title with a work email. Without one, read the company website and state business filings to name the owner, guess the email pattern, and check the address before you send.

Key takeaways

  • Find the person first, then the email.
  • Check any guessed address before you send. Bounces hurt every email you send after.

How do you find a business owner's email?

  1. Name the owner. Look for owner, founder, president or principal on the About page or in state business filings.
  2. Check the website. The contact page, footer and press releases sometimes show a direct address.
  3. Work out the pattern. One known address at the company (first@, first.last@) usually shows the pattern for everyone.
  4. Check before you send. Run the address through an email checker. A catch-all result proves nothing.
  5. Or search Buzzlist. Filter for the people, such as owners of roofing companies in Georgia, and reveal the work email and mobile. You only use a contact when there is a real email or phone to show.

Why is an owner's email hard to find?

Many owners never publish a work address, and someone else reads the company inbox. That is why info@ emails to small businesses get so few replies. A mobile or direct number often reaches the owner faster.
