This is a good question! I briefly thought of the same thing after the dentist’s office I’d been using for more than a decade began having utterly terrible service. By accident (an employee sent me an email from their corporate email) I found out they had been taken over by a PE owned dental outsourcing company.

That explained why overnight their office staff became a rotating assortment of people who had no idea how to run insurance or handle any problems and the visits lost all quality.

I would love to have a resource where I could see what entity actually owns a business or company. Not many people realize that even brands like Volvo and Arc'teryx that used to mean something are now owned by companies that if anything are known for the exact opposite qualities.
