Contains a wealth of company information from a variety of sources (MarketLine, Hoover's, and more), but it can be challenging to locate it all.

Start your search for company information in the Nexis Dossier. Click on "Find a Company" to open Nexis Dossier+ database. From here, you can search for a company by company name, ticker symbol, DUNS number, etc.

Once you locate your company's dossier, you can find basic company information, in-depth financials, recent news, and more.

Warning: Nexis Uni does not always have accurate industry information about a company, so it is best to double check that information using another source such as MarketLine Advantage.

EBSCO's Business Searching Interface features company profiles by country and by industry. Simply scroll down to the "Explore featured content" subheading to get started. You can also browse country reports, industry reports, and SWOT analyses.

While company information can be found in a host of resources, published information about private companies can be sparse. Company websites, along with the following research databases and Internet sources, are probably your best options for private company information. 

Nexis Dossier+ with Nexis Uni is probably the best place to find a general profile of a private company. You can access Dossier+ by clicking the "Find a Company" box on the front page of Nexis Uni.
