Go to YAHOO COMPANY PROFILES LINK http://biz.yahoo.com/p/ E.G. IOMEGA: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/i/iom.html It is a GOLD MINE of well structured information with drill down details available. Also provides guides for interpreting technical / financial data, industry comparisons, etc., etc., etc., It is (believe it or not) FREE.

Try http://www.sleuth.com.

My favorite is http://www.hoovers.com. Hoovers provides a wealth of information on companies, their revenue, executive bios, locations, and relevant news stories. Plus, it's very easy to navigate! Good luck,

http://www.vault.com/   Wall street journal, CorpTech, Hoovers.

A decent and fast meta page i use to reference for finding company info is: http://home.sprintmail.com/~debflanagan/index.html

May I suggest that you go to http://www.ceoexpress.com/. Go to their Research Center and click on Competitive Intelligence. I use this site all the time. They list a variety of free corporate information sites as well as Hoovers. Good Luck
