Is there a way to identify a business by its street address?

Factual Questions
1

I’m trying to figure out what business is located at a certain address. Just googling it doesn’t give me anything. Is there some kind of online resource that has a searchable database of businesses by address?

2

Washington has this page, where you can search on an address. You could look on your state’s Department of Licensing, Department of Revenue, Secretary of State Business Lookup, etc.

3

Is it on a main street in a city? Use Street View in Google Maps.

4

You may find some luck using a reverse directory. There are others out there with a quick Google check if that one doesn’t provide any results.

5

Did you try plugging it into Google Maps specifically? Even if it’s not in a city with Street View, often you can get “At this address” in the sidebar.

Yeah, NinjaChick’s right: Google maps will allow you to enter the street address and come back with what’s there.
