Sources for company profiles

The library provides several databases that collect lots of data on companies in order to produce easy-to-read profiles.

  • Data Axle Reference Solutions. "Data on businesses, health care providers, and consumers. Company information is searchable by SIC/NAICS codes or key words, and sortable by size of company, company income, geographic location, etc. This is a great resource for marketing studies." Data on 104 million U.S. businesses, including more than 1,900 in Palmer, Alaska alone. Also, worryingly, it has 322 million U.S. consumer profiles (try and search yourself).
  • MarketLine Company Profiles. Detailed company information, including SWOT analyses. This tool can also be accessed from Business Source Premier by clicking "Company Profiles" at the top of the page.
  • MergentOnline. "In-depth business and financial information for over 11,000 U.S. public companies and over 1 million private companies. Includes presentation-quality, one-page summary equity reports, updated quarterly, for more than 1,500 NYSE, NASDAQ and AMEX companies. Financial data can be downloaded into Microsoft Excel."
