Business Insights Finding Company Information

Business Insights: Essentials has a wealth of information on most companies. There will be much more information on publicly-traded companies than private companies.

Here are some screen shots to demonstrate how to use the database.

Remember, it must be a public company!

Enter the Stock (Ticker) Symbol or Parent Company Name.

Once you select the company from the list provided, review the links below the company name.

Each one will give you the information you need for your project.
