Financial and company information

About financial and company information

Financial information includes figures released by companies as well as trading data from different asset classes.

Company information does include some of these figures, for example recent stock prices of a publicly listed company. However, its focus is on characteristics of companies, their activities, boards and executives.

The Business Library provides access to a wide range of financial data and company information for both public and private companies. It's accessible across a range of platforms on site or from your own computer.
