Companies are the specific organizations who provide a particular product or service. A company's official website and social media profiles are great places to learn basic information on a company. However, the best information is more often discipline-specific databases with objective information on company financials, stock prices, legal issues, strengths and weaknesses, and more.

You can also check your company's 10-K report. This report is created by the company and provided to the federal government. As such, it mostly follows the same format and contains the same kinds of information, regardless of the company or its industry. It's a good way to get company information that would be shared more privately than a social media post would allow.
Private companies aren't required to share as much information as public companies, which makes finding information on them a little tricky. For best results, try PrivCo. You'll need to create an account the first time you use it, but from there, it will provide a lot of useful information.
