LEXIS-NEXIS has information about over 10,000 publicly traded
companies, over 200,000 private companies, and over 30,000 international
companies. To be sure you are getting the most information available, you may
want to run your company through news, public records, and company databases.
Depending on what your needs are and what information you already have, running
searches in multiple sources can be a great way to uncover information.
Following are sample searches about both public and private companies:
Company & Financial
Company Profiles &
Directories
U.S. Company Reports
(The US
Companies Group File combines all US company profiles. This file covers more
than 10,000 public and 200,000 private companies).
Sun Rich and FL
This search will locate records on any
document mentioning Sun Rich and Florida.
When you have very little information with which to begin your
research, it is a good idea to start with a broad search and then use
information you pull from the documents you find. For example, the previous
search will return documents that list William Neece as the attorney for the
company. You can search on his name to find other companies he has an interest
in. You can also try running the company name as a nation wide search by
leaving off "and FL".
