A paypal account to a businessman will only show the owner name,not other information,so what you will get is just the name.

What about some walkaround? Can I not ask the person to send me empty invoice or something like that where would be both business name and name of owner of account?

I doubt there is a walk around. For a business account paypal only tells you about the business name that account belongs to. If it has a net presence, you can find the name through searching. Else, the business name is all you will be able to get.

If a person sends a PayPal payment from his Business account is there a reliable way how to verify who owns the business? The name of the owner? Is it visible somewhere in PayPal?

AFAIK PayPal doesn't have to share this information. You could pay an agency for background information, but that's not exactly cheap.

Here's how you can see if an account is verified: https://www.paypal.com/us/verified/[email protected]

If they're using their own domain you could visit the website and lookup their WHOIS record: http://whois.domaintools.com/domain.com
