Questions about corporations

Am I the only one who wants to know with whom I'm doing business?

When I buy products with cute down-home names, it would be nice to know which ones are made by small businesses and which by arms of a corporation. Same with stores, hotels, etc.

The names of parent corporations tend to be on the product or service only when it serves the corporate image. Wouldn't you like to know who's taking your money and providing you with service?

What is your opinion on the benefits or drawbacks of storefronts, websites, products, and services listing the name of the parent corporation under the business's name, including the legal city/state/country of corporate headquarters, so that we have a better idea of whom we're supporting when we buy?
