The answer to this question is always “it depends what you are looking for”! Your choice of e-resource will depend on the country of registration of the company and its status (public or private). It will also depend on the kind of information you need: a quick overview, accounts, share price data, strategies, executive names, peer comparisons etc. Our e-resources web pages help you identify the best resource for your research.
