I can't map what I don't know about. not sure, this will probably depend on the jurisdiction, I am aware of situations where the addresses and names of businesses are public. Speaking about ordinary registered businesses here, if the activity is illegal or at least not registered for tax avoidance (likely illegal as well), the situation may be different, but usually you would require a VAT number and other businesses would have a means to check it, but this might also vary across jurisdictions.
