When and Why You Should Use Business Information:

  • You need to identify companies and potential competitors
  • You need to understand a company's strategy
  • You need to gather consumer demographics and profiles
  • You need insights into a local market area
  • You need reports on market trends or the performance of a specific industry

Remember: the availability of company information is sometimes impacted by whether the company is public or private; the size of the company; where the company is located; and, how visible the company is (or has been) to the news media.
