Standard & Poor's NetAdvantage provides financial information for public and private companies, as well as industry overviews. It contains similar information to that found in the Mergent database. It also has a more intuitive interface for students exploring the financial landscape for the first time.
While S&P NetAdvantage covers many companies and industries, it may be useful to use other search tools for different purposes:
