Published July 8, 2026 · 3 min read
New public data sources are live in LookBefore. FDIC bank data, EPA environmental enforcement history, Census building permits, and New York and Florida business-entity registrations. Each comes from the government agency that maintains it, so a search returns the official record itself. You can check a federally insured bank, trace a facility’s environmental enforcement history, see building-permit activity in an area, or look up a business registered in New York or Florida.

Everything LookBefore searches is public data. The records live across separate government sites, each with its own search form and format. Finding a record usually means knowing which agency holds it and checking each one by hand. LookBefore searches those sources together and returns the record itself, not a link to look it up.
