Steps to Using Business Source Premier to Obtain a Company Profile:
Click the tab at the top of the Business Source Premier® screen labeled COMPANY PROFILES.
This will take you to the Datamonitor® Company Profile Authority database.
In the search box, type in the name of your company and click BROWSE. As an alternative, you can also browse the entire listing of companies.
If your company is in the listing, the name will appear.
Click on the name link (DO NOT check the box and click SEARCH. This will take you back to Business Source Premier® articles).
Once you click the link, you will be taken to an abstract providing a brief amount of information about the company.
There will be a link entitled [PDF] COMPLETE REPORT at the top of the abstract if a profile is available.
Click [PDF] COMPLETE REPORT.
The profile will appear. This is in an Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. Adobe Acrobat Reader software must be on the computer you are using in order to view the profile. (All the computers in the Sullivan University Library have Adobe Acrobat Reader.)
View and print the information as needed.
