| General business research
sources The lists below
identify many useful sources of company information to support research
by professional service providers and economic development professionals
when contacting companies. This makes it easier to be well-informed
from
publicly available information about an industry or company when talking to top executives about their
project needs.
The database products generally
contain proprietary research beyond the basic factual listings about
companies (name, address, website, phone) or content which can be found
through company reports (as via EDGAR or the company websites).
Subscriptions are often required to access their proprietary research
content.
|
The presence or absence of any organization on these lists,
or their position on the lists, does not imply any endorsement or opinion about their services,
nor by them about our own. The selections are simply intended to be helpful to
professionals who may be
unaware of such resources, or how to reach their websites quickly for more
information. This can support professional services, investment
promotion activities, and investor retention or "aftercare" activities to
stay informed about the companies. We welcome
additional suggestions of useful sources of company information. |
| Note that
there is a separate section for
governmental information
sources , and some information about companies may be found in the
websites of area representatives or through other sources which they may
identify (such as links in GUIDE Area Profiles). |
Note that regional research sources may be listed in many of
the regional lists of area representatives (at the bottom of the lists) and
in the associations and publishers
section. |
