Where can I find in-depth information about a company?

Reading through a company profile is a great way to find key information about a company, including their mission, employees, financials, corporate strategy, and more. 

Start by using a business database, like GlobalData Explorer or ProQuest One Business to find these profiles, as well as other company-related reports. Search for the name of the company and look for options to refine the search by geography (if the organization operates internationally).

After you find a company profile, skim through the table of contents or navigation menu to find reports or topics that cover the information you may be interested in. You can often download these reports to reference later, or find a permalink to share with group members. See the video below for demonstrations on navigating these business databases.

For more resources with company information, explore the other databases on the Company Information subject guide.
