Can you skip trace LLC's or business entity's?

Yes, but not cost-effectively. If you're doing this on your own for Illinois, first look up the LLC here:

https://www.ilsos.gov/corporatellc/

Some LLCs will have whoever the sole member is listed as the agent with their home address there, while others will have their attorney or a company like CSC (and in that case its a dead-end). Also search the recorder's offices for any mortgages and deeds in the LLCs name - sometimes the closing attorney's mess up and put down the actual address and/or name of the managing member(s) on those docs and you can then research the named people/addresses.
