Private Companies:  Other Resources

 

News is often one of the only sources on info on private companies!

  • Search first only by company name, and add more words as needed.
  • For ambiguous names, e.g. Apple, use:  Select a Field (dropdown) > CO Company Entity.

Tip


Imagine that you are an executive at a private company.  What information (financial or otherwise) would you share if it meant your competitors may use it for their own benefit?

Companies do not voluntarily share info about themselves, unless the SEC requires it by law, or unless companies believe disclosure gives them a competitive advantage.
