Online Resources for Company Information

Online resources for company information vary greatly:

Your first step should be the company's website. Companies will often organize their website in ways that can provide a sense of how they do business. If the company has an About Us area, that may be where they provide a company overview, history information, etc.
Your second step may be to enter the company's name and a keyword in your preferred search engine (Google, Bing, etc.). Make sure to evaluate the sources you find using the ABC chart.
