Doing your research

-Don't expect one database or resource to answer all your questions--you will probaby need to consult a variety of resources for each company!

-Check out the company's website, but be aware that the company is publishing the info.

 

Private vs. Public

Public Companies - It's much easier to find info on public companies because:

  • They sell shares to the general public
  • They are regulated by the Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC)
  • They must report info like financials, subsidiaries, executive compensation

Private Companies - It can be more difficult to research private companies because:

  • They are privately owned
  • They are not required to disclose financial info or file with the SEC
