Become a member of a local business network organization, such as Business Networking International (BNI). Listen to the people who share during the group because they will state their name, as well as that of their company. Introduce yourself to them at some point during or after the meeting.

Walk into business locations to locate company owners. Be prepared to speak to a person who will screen you, especially if you are walking into a larger business. Let this "gatekeeper" know the reason you want to speak with the company owner. Be prepared to deal with some amount of resistance because their job is to make sure the business owner is not bothered by what they may consider unwanted guests.

Leverage the power of social media. Build relationships using various social media sites which focus primarily on company owners, such as Linkedin.com. Contact business owners via these sites and set up a profile which states the name of your own company, years in the industry, and other information a company owner may find interesting. If you are trying to find a business owner you already know, check to see if you recognize their picture while you are searching for their name on these social media websites.

Find industry-specific organizations. Keep in mind that professionals who are part of a particular career field may also be a member of an association which caters toward people in that profession. Contact the organization by going to their monthly meetings or call them to attempt to find a company owner who may be a part of their group. Remember to let the person know the reason you are trying to contact them, so they will not feel uneasy.
