How do I find a corporate profile or a SWOT analysis for a company?

Company profiles are overviews of companies which often include a company history, a list of officers, industries the company is heavily involved in, competitors, etcetera. A few top starting points include:

  • Business Source Complete - Select SWOT Analyses from the source type
  • Mergent Online - Go to the Investext tab and then use the filter options by company name, date range, keyword (e.g. SWOT), report length, and report type.
  • Most company databases will provide financials, history, ownership, transactions, recent news, and similar information for companies.
For historical company profiles, The International Directory of Company Histories provides lengthy histories on U.S. and international companies as well.
