Research Tips

Company research can include a lot of different types of Information.  This guide focuses on the best databases the Commerce Research Library has to offer for corporate profiles and corporate family research.

If you're looking for where a company or subsidiary is officially registered check their location in one of the database below and then check the official government website for the relevant state to find official documentation.  Here is an example of the Delaware website , a popular state where many companies register.

Databases can provide incomplete and conflicting information.  Use clues like shared company names, shared executives, and shared websites to determine if two entities are connected even if they do not appear to have a parent/subsidiary relationship.

How to Research a Company: The Ultimate Guide

How to Research a Company: The Ultimate Guide

Free Website Traffic Checker

Discover your competitors' strengths and leverage them to achieve your own success

Good company research can take many forms. Depending on your research goals, you might want to look at the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of a market, or drill down into key industry leaders and emerging players to unpack their successes.

If you want to beat the competition, you need to know their business as well (if not better) than your own. The more intel you have, the quicker you’ll be able to spot and leverage opportunities, respond to market changes, and grow.

Read on to discover how to research a company online, tear down its strategies, and take over its market share.

What is company research?

Company research gathers and analyzes information about a business and its customers. This means understanding its performance data and target audience so you can optimize your own strategy.

Company research definition: Company research is the process of gathering and analyzing information about competitors and their customers.

In today’s fiercely competitive markets, doing good company research is a game-changer. In fact, a 2022 report on competitive intelligence found that 98% of businesses believe researching their competitors is vital for success.

If you have the right tools to collect accurate competitive intelligence , you’ll be able to anticipate your competitors’ moves and emerging threats to stay ahead and succeed.

How to do company research in 8 steps

Researching a company is a bit like doing detective work. The deeper you go, the more questions you ask, and the more curious you are, the better the outcome will be.

Here are eight steps to steer you through the process of doing company research.

1. Track top competitors

You want to know exactly what your rivals are doing, where they’re going, and how the competitive landscape is changing. With this data, you can carefully plan your next move and take action when and where it’s needed most. Competitive tracking tools like Similarweb give you the ability to track what your rivals are up to. You can measure each competitor’s digital footprint, and identify any changes or growth over time.

Did someone experience a sudden uptick in website visits? Would you like to know why and how? Perhaps they launched a new feature or ad campaign, or maybe its social channel is driving growth.

With Similarweb Research Intelligence, you get alerts about changes so you can be sure you’ll never miss a beat.

Similarweb mobile tracker.

Analyzing the top performers in your industry will give you new ideas and provide targets for what is achievable for you.

Similarweb’s Analyze Industry Leaders tool will tell you who is winning in your industry based on their website performance. A Market Quadrant Analysis graph, or competitive matrix , provides a visual snapshot of the websites in your industry and how they compare based on different metrics. The industry leaders may inspire you to try new things, while the weaker competitors in your industry can provide you with swift opportunities to chip into their market share.

Pro tip: Similarweb’s Similar Sites tool helps you uncover up to 40 domains that are similar to yours. Finding these domains can be infinitely useful when conducting a competitive content analysis . You can audit these domains to learn more about their content strategy and upgrade your own.

2. Benchmark

Now that you have a good view of the market, you need to drill down into your competitors’ performance. You want to understand their metrics and KPIs so you can benchmark them against your own.

A company research and analysis tool can help you understand your competitors’ digital reach and performance. You can look at multiple websites or domains owned by a single company to analyze their aggregated data or look at a specific market. This will give you a good idea of the business’ size and market share .

You’ll also want to look at their engagement metrics and any changes over time. If you see their metrics improving, they are probably investing in a digital strategy . You should look into this to see what has been working for them. We’ll show you how in the next section.

Similarweb traffic and engagement data on footlocker.com

Pro Tip: Don’t forget to look at mobile app intelligence too. There are five key metrics you’ll want to track when benchmarking an app:

  • Demographics

3. Compare traffic and engagement

These days, it’s no longer enough to consider website traffic and engagement metrics on their own. The complete digital perspective of any company includes mobile app intelligence, alongside traditional desktop and mobile web metrics. You need to see the full picture before you make any judgments or decisions.

Using Similarweb digital intelligence, I wanted to view the key players in the travel industry – specifically travel booking sites, like booking.com, Expedia, and Airbnb. First, I want my company research to focus on mobile web and desktop traffic alone.

Traffic and engagement in the travel industry with Similarweb

Using Similarweb Digital Research Intelligence, I can see the overall benchmarks for traffic and engagement. This shows metrics like monthly visits, unique visitors, pages per visit, bounce rate, and visit duration. 

The top websites include booking.com , Airbnb , Expedia , Agoda , and Hotels.com . So, in essence, these are my industry leaders .

However, knowing how important apps are these days to consumers, I want to consider app intelligence in my company research too. When I add this data into the mix, things look a little different.

On both Android and iOS: Expedia, Airbnb, VRBO, booking.com, and Hopper are my top five.

Now, my view of industry leaders has changed . We’ve got three key players who are leading desktop, mobile web, and app platforms; and four others, who respectively dominate different channels.

image of traffic and engagement in company research

Here, you can see a range of engagement metrics that apply to mobile apps on Android. Including active users, number of sessions, and session times; which shows engagement, upturns, downturns, and opportunities at a glance.

So, when you view traffic and engagement metrics, make sure you explore desktop, mobile web, and app intelligence to get an accurate picture of what’s really going on.

4. View audience interests

Understanding cross-browsing behavior tells you what other sites your users are interested in. Maybe they are looking at other products and solutions like yours!

This audience interests tool allows you to evaluate the browsing behavior of your target audience, helping you understand user intent and their purchasing process. You might even discover new markets or a specific niche audience , and come up with new audience acquisition strategies.

5. Pinpoint audience overlap

Who else holds your potential customer’s attention? With Similarweb’s Audience Overlap feature, you can analyze metrics and insights on the overlap of visitors across up to five websites for a selected time period and geographical region. You’ll be able to determine the size of your total addressable audience , evaluate what part of the audience is shared, and pinpoint your unreached audience potential.

This is also a good way to gauge audience loyalty . You’ll see the proportion of monthly active users who look at multiple sites in the same category or just one site.

6. Analyze specific pages

While a company may be your competitor, you may not be competing on every front. You might only want to look at a particular segment of a business when doing your company research. This ensures that your insights are specific and useful, and leave out less relevant information.

Similarweb’s Segment Analysis tool lets you slice the URL of a website to analyze just the parts that are relevant to you. You can deconstruct their website to look at a specific category, topic, brand, or whatever else interests you. This can help you benchmark a specific line of business or individual products.

This analysis is extremely powerful for marketing and sales managers, data analysts, and BI specialists who want to optimize their strategies for specific business segments. For example, if you are a clothing retailer looking to launch a line of kids’ clothes, you can use this tool to analyze your competitors’ kids’ clothing lines.

7. Reveal successful conversion strategies

What makes customers convert? The only way to know for sure is to analyze conversion data across your industry. You need to understand the conversion funnel, which keywords and marketing channels drive traffic, and which trends your potential customers are interested in.

You can get a unique view of your industry’s conversion data with Similarweb’s Conversion Analysis tool . Check out each company’s conversion efficiency and how they scale over time. You can identify efficient marketing channels , go-to-market strategies, and their ROI for marketing spending. You can also benchmark your metrics across the industry average.

Understanding conversion strategies also reveals opportunities for your own growth. You can examine category performance at top retailers such as Amazon, Walmart, and Target, and identify what consumers are searching for at the different retailers and what converts. When you understand the customer journey, you can better position yourself to guide them toward purchasing from you.

8. Research mobile app performance

When you research a business, you need to look at all customer touchpoints. Today, that means analyzing apps alongside web and mobile web traffic. You want to know how well your competitors’ apps rank so you can focus on your own app strategy. With rapid consumer adoption of mobile-first spending ( 46% of people now complete a full purchase via mobile ), app intelligence is a key consideration for any type of company research. In almost every industry, the digital landscape changes when you add app intelligence metrics.

If you’re looking at apps competitively, you want to consider:

  • Monthly/ Daily Active Users
  • No. of sessions/session time
  • Sessions per user
  • Overall rank
  • Category rank
  • User retention
  • App demographics

Similarweb App Intelligence Premium now provides a few ways to help you view app rankings , downloads, engagement, and usage metrics across both Android and iOS. From benchmarking an app to unpacking the successes of those with apps in your market; good company research should include app analysis. By unifying digital insights, you see a truer picture of a company’s successes online.

How to research a company like an expert

Follow these eight steps and you’ll quickly be able to research any company in any niche like a pro. Uncover key insights that tell you more about a market, target audience, or competitors to shape your own strategy for success.

Positive experience working with TBRC as an expert. TBRC reached out to me in early 2022 requesting insights about certain instruments and tools used in the field of Neurosurgery in the US, particularly when related to traumatic brain injury and stroke. They had a list of questions that were sent to me prior to the meeting, which we went through during the meeting (via conference call/ phone). My responses triggered some additional inquiries. The interview took place on time, and did not go over the time allocated. The team members at TBRC were punctual, professional and clear about their needs. Overall, it was a positive experience. I would work with them again.

Small Business Research Programs: Opportunities Exist for SBA and Agencies to Reduce Vulnerabilities to Fraud, Waste, and Abuse

Federal agencies awarded small businesses more than $4.4 billion in FY 2022 for research and development and to commercialize technologies. The Small Business Administration oversees the programs making these awards, which are carried out by 11 agencies.

We analyzed past award data to identify awardees' foreign ownership, business size, and other indicators of fraud, waste, or abuse. We found, for example:

Almost 8% of awardees in our review had four or more indicators

$445 million worth of awards may have funded duplicative work

Our recommendations to SBA and 2 other agencies are to help improve their fraud risk management and more.

Photo of the exterior of the Small Business Administration building showing its sign and seal.

What GAO Found

GAO's analysis of 37 fraud schemes targeting the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs demonstrates control vulnerabilities and fraud risks with a range of financial and other impacts. These schemes often involved multiple participating agencies and programs. For example, 25 schemes involved awards from more than one agency, and 14 involved both SBIR and STTR awards. GAO identified approximately $34.7 million in civil settlements associated with these schemes. Fraudsters' diversion of funds affects the programs' economic stimulus goals and makes funds unavailable to eligible businesses. It can also result in prison time, financial penalties, and loss of employment for those involved in the schemes.

In addition to its Policy Directive guidance, the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) uses several tools, including its monthly program manager meetings, annual survey to participating agencies, and listing of fraud convictions and civil liabilities on SBIR.gov, to monitor and support agencies' fraud, waste, and abuse prevention efforts. However, GAO identified opportunities for SBA to better leverage these tools. For example, some agencies were unaware of the requirement to report fraud convictions and civil liabilities for listing on SBIR.gov, limiting the site's usefulness as an information source and fraud deterrent.

Most agencies did not conduct SBIR/STTR fraud risk assessments in alignment with GAO's leading practices and identified lack of guidance, training, and resources as related challenges. Through its guidance and other tools, SBA is in a position to reinforce fraud risk assessment requirements for agencies, in support of Policy Directive goals for fraud, waste, and abuse prevention.

GAO's analysis of SBIR.gov award data from fiscal years 2016 through 2021 identified thousands of awardees with one or more fraud, waste, or abuse risk indicator. Among the 10,570 awardees in this period, 842 were associated with four or more such indicators. GAO designed 27 analytic tests for (1) applicant eligibility, including foreign ownership, business size, essentially equivalent work, research facility address; and (2) other fraud, waste, or abuse risks, such as having prior criminal or civil actions. Data quality issues in SBIR.gov, such as incomplete project summaries, may impede agencies' full use of analytics for managing these risks. By improving the data through guidance and verification, SBA can support agencies' risk management activities.

Awardees by Number of Fraud, Waste, or Abuse Risk Indicators Identified in Analytic Tests

Awardees by Number of Fraud, Waste, or Abuse Risk Indicators Identified in Analytic Tests

Why GAO Did This Study

Since the inception of the programs, federal agencies have invested over $68 billion in SBIR/STTR awards for research and development and to commercialize technologies. SBA oversees the programs, which are carried out by 11 participating agencies. In response to the Small Business Act, as amended, the SBA established 10 minimum requirements for participating agencies to prevent fraud, waste, and abuse. The act also includes a provision that GAO report to Congress every 4 years on agencies' and their Offices of Inspector General (OIG) efforts related to fraud, waste, and abuse in the programs.

This GAO report, its fourth, assesses (1) SBIR/STTR fraud schemes from fiscal years 2016 through 2023 and participants and impacts; (2) SBA and agency antifraud activities against fraud, waste, and abuse requirements; (3) agency fraud risk assessments against leading practices; and (4) applicant and award data to identify fraud, waste, and abuse vulnerabilities.

GAO reviewed documentation from SBA and the 11 participating agencies and OIGs; analyzed criminal, civil, and administrative actions; compared SBA and agencies' processes against leading practices; conducted data matching to identify potentially ineligible awardees for fiscal years 2016 through 2021; and interviewed SBA, agency, and OIG officials.

Recommendations

GAO is making eight recommendations, including six to SBA to provide agencies with guidance to support their fraud risk management. The agencies generally agreed with the recommendations.

Recommendations for Executive Action

Recommendation
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation expands the methods and sources used to identify fraud-related convictions and findings of civil liability to list in the SBA's database, such as through alerts from legal research resources. (Recommendation 1)
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation leverages its oversight mechanisms to identify, share, and report fraud-related convictions and findings of civil liability to SBIR.gov and address participating agencies' challenges in understanding and meeting the 15-day reporting requirement. (Recommendation 2)
Department of Agriculture The Secretary of the U.S. Department of Agriculture should ensure that the Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture ensures that USDA SBIR/STTR applicants receive fraud, waste, and abuse training. (Recommendation 3)
Department of Defense The Secretary of Defense should ensure that the DOD Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering SBIR/STTR Program ensures that DOD SBIR/STTR subcomponent program officials receive fraud, waste, and abuse training. (Recommendation 4)
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation leverages its existing oversight mechanisms to ensure the accuracy of agencies' survey responses to required fraud, waste, and abuse training and, to the full extent of the SBA's legal authority, shares SBIR/STTR fraud risk information and resources for conducting fraud risk assessments. (Recommendation 5)
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation, to the full extent of the SBA's legal authority, provides guidance to participating agencies to conduct comprehensive SBIR/STTR program fraud risk assessments, including all key elements, in support of the Policy Directive's fraud, waste, and abuse prevention requirements and consistent with Fraud Risk Framework leading practices. (Recommendation 6)
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation improves SBIR.gov data quality by updating guidance to require that abstracts are sufficiently complete and that applicant and awardee addresses are verified to support program eligibility determinations. (Recommendation 7)
Small Business Administration The Administrator of SBA should ensure that the Associate Administrator for the Office of Investment and Innovation validates existing information in the SBIR/STTR databases, specifically the Company Registry and SBIR.gov, to identify and correct deficiencies, as appropriate. (Recommendation 8)

Buy Rating Affirmed: Viridian Therapeutics’ Phase 3 Success and Market Potential

Analyst Jason Butler of JMP Securities reiterated a Buy rating on Viridian Therapeutics ( VRDN – Research Report ), boosting the price target to $38.00.

Jason Butler has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors surrounding the promising results from Viridian Therapeutics’ recent Phase 3 THRIVE trial. The trial’s success in meeting all primary and secondary endpoints for their drug veligrotug (veli, VRDN-001) in treating thyroid eye disease (TED) positions the drug with a best-in-class profile. The results are not only comparable to the pivotal trials of the already approved TEPEZZA but also show several key advantages, such as requiring fewer infusions and demonstrating a rapid response in patients, along with improved outcomes in secondary endpoints like clinical activity score and diplopia resolution, and a reduced incidence of hearing impairment side effects. Furthermore, the anticipated positive impact of these trial results extends to the upcoming Phase 3 THRIVE-2 trial for chronic TED patients and the prospective submission of a Biologics License Application (BLA) for veli. Butler’s confidence is also bolstered by the progression of VRDN-003 through the Phase 3 REVEAL trials, which aligns with the company’s strategic timeline. These factors, coupled with the raised risk-adjusted, Discounted Cash Flow (DCF)-derived price target, underscore Butler’s rationale for the Buy rating on Viridian Therapeutics’ stock reflecting a strong investment opportunity based on the company’s clinical advancements and potential market impact.

In another report released today, Wedbush also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $42.00 price target.

R&D tax transparency reports

On this page

  • Why is this happening

Confidentiality of R&D activities

  • Find out more
  • Report misuse

The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is required to publish the following details of entities who claim the R&D Tax Incentive (R&DTI) from 1 July 2021:

  • the name of the entity claiming the R&DTI
  • the entity's Australian Business Number (ABN) or Australian Company Number (ACN)
  • the entity’s total R&D expenditure (total notional deductions claimed, minus any feedstock adjustments).

The ATO will begin publishing the reports in September 2024. The initial publication will include entities that claimed the R&DTI in their 2022 company tax return, and whose income year began on or after 1 July 2021.

Following this initial publication, the ATO will continue to publish updated reports on R&DTI entities each year – 2 years after the end of the financial year in which the claim was made.

The transparency report will contain 2 components:

  • the 'Report of data about Research and Development tax incentive entities', published on  data.gov.au
  • the 'Research and development tax incentive – transparency report', with an analysis of the data, published on the ATO’s website.

Why is this happening?

Publication of this information is a legislated requirement which came into effect in July 2021, following reforms to the policy and administration of the R&DTI program.

These reports are part of the government’s broader approach to improve tax transparency and will help:

  • increase public accountability for R&D claimants, and
  • encourage voluntary compliance with the program.

The laws that apply to the R&DTI continue to require the Department of Industry, Science and Resources (DISR) and the ATO to keep most details about an entity’s participation in the R&DTI program private.

This means:

  • the ATO’s report will not contain any information collected by DISR
  • DISR cannot disclose any information about a company’s R&D activities or any compliance action related to those activities, and
  • the ATO cannot disclose any information about a company’s R&D expenditure (beyond what is published in the transparency reports), or any compliance action related to it claiming the R&DTI.

Find out more about tax transparency reports

Visit the ato website for more detailed information about the r&d tax transparency reports., report misuse of the r&dti program.

DISR takes allegations of misuse of the R&DTI program very seriously.

If you suspect or are aware of misuse of the program, you should lodge a complaint through our anonymous online fraud control portal .

This secure reporting platform is our preferred reporting method as it enables confidential, ongoing communication.

You can also report fraud via:

  • Phone: (02) 6213 6376 during business hours
  • Post: Fraud Integrity and Assurance Team, GPO Box 2013, Canberra ACT 2601

If your complaint relates to R&DTI expenditure claims you are also encouraged to contact the ATO through its Tax Integrity Centre on 1800 060 062 , or by completing the online tip-off form .
