Private Company Information: Background/Current Information

To get background as well as current information on private companies, searching periodical literature may be the only option. For background information, search back years for information about your company. The periodical databases allow you to set up a specific date search. If there is a specific thing you are looking for, use that as one of your search terms. For current information, start with the two most current years. Local newspapers and business journals can be very helpful.
