Most
companies can be classified as either public or private. Public
companies sell stock to the general public, so anyone can buy shares in the
company and become an owner. Because of this, the federal government
requires public companies to release a great deal of information about their
finances and operations.
Researching private companies can be a complex process. Private companies
are not required to submit financial data to the SEC, and as a result,
information on these companies is not readily available. Private company
stock is typically owned by the principles in the company (founders, family
members, key employees, etc.). If a stockholder wishes to sell his stock,
he may sell to anyone he chooses, but typically, it is offered to existing
stockholders. There is no marketplace to buy and sell shares of private
companies. Financial disclosures of privately held companies do not have to
be made to the public. These companies do not publish annual reports or
share information about themselves to major business publishers. This is
also true for subsidiaries of publicly held firms. The parent company
reports information as a whole, making information on the division or
subsidiary harder to find.
Many large companies actually own all or
part of other companies. If the parent company owns the
subsidiary completely, the financial information about the subsidiary will
probably not be available in any detail. Instead, the financial information
for all the subsidiaries will be combined into the consolidated financial
statements of the parent company. Sometimes the parent only owns a fraction
of the subsidiary; in those cases, the subsidiary may release its own
financial statements.
For information on subsidiaries, try one of the following sources.

What
are business ratios?
Business ratios,
also known as financial or operating ratios, are used to evaluate a company's
financial position. By comparing a company's current ratios with ratios from
previous years or ratios for an industry the researcher can readily assess a
company's performance. Like all ratios, business ratios are calculated by
dividing one number (numerator) by another (denominator), and are usually
expressed in decimal form. Use financial and profitability ratios to
compare your company's performance to the industry's performance.
Types
of business ratios
There are four
types of ratios: liquidity, leverage, activity, and profitability. Each of
these types is used to judge a different aspect of the firm's performance, and
thus the compilers and users of each of these ratios have different purposes
in mind. The following are examples of each type:
| TYPE
|
EXAMPLE |
FORMULA |
|
Liquidity |
Current ratio |
Total
current assets
Total current liabilities |
|
Leverage |
Debt-equity ratio |
Total Debt
Total owner's equities |
|
Activity |
Inventory turnover |
Cost of goods
sold
Inventory |
|
Profitability |
Net Profit |
Net income
Sales |
Ratios
are usually classified as one of these four types; however, there may be
differences in terminology and interpretation. For more information about
ratios consult the following guides:

Market share can be broadly measured in two
ways: comparing data at the company level, or examining sales by individual
brand. Market share is defined as the ratio of sales of a brand to the
total sales of that product-type in a particular area (city, county,
continent, etc.). It can also be defined as the ratio of sales of a
company's entire product line to the total sales of all related companies.
Market share data can be difficult to find, and you may have to use multiple
sources.

Search Strategies
Often, there is not much to distinguish a small private company from its
owner. It is a good idea to search not only the company name, but personal
names as well (owners, employees, etc.). A great place to name search is
news sources (e.g. local newspapers). Another way to find information on
private companies is to look for other companies that they might be
affiliated with and search these company names.
- First, use a directory to verify
company name, address, and phone number. Some directories will include
additional information such as company size, number of employees, sales,
products and services, and SIC. If you cannot find your company in a
directory, it may be because it is very small or a subsidiary of another
company.
- Search newspaper and journal indexes,
especially those covering a company's hometown publications.
- Search trade journals and industry
newsletters relevant to the company's line of business.
- Look at the company homepage.
- Look at public company financial
reports, especially those you think might be affiliated with your
company. Disclosure documents (available in the Lexis-Nexis database) of
these public firms sometimes mention private companies with which they
do business. An easy way to identify whether your company is mentioned
in a long financial report is to use the Edit command on your browser.
In the pull-down menu, select 'Find in Page' and type in the company
name in the blank. Click on 'Find Next' to highlight your company in the
report.
- There are several Web sites that offer
reports on private companies- for a fee. These include
