Company Information
When thinking about company information, you want to start trying to find public companies. Public companies trade on various exchanges, so they are legally required to release financials. Finding financial information on start-ups or private companies can be almost impossible, so trying to identify a public peer can help connect you to relevant information.
Some items you can find for public companies are:
- Financials (either annual reports or comprehensive spreadsheets)
- Competitor information
- Company analysis (done through third party researchers, SWOTs, analyst reports)
