Introduction

This is a guide to the public records a reporter can access to find background information on a business.

The records are kept by a variety of local, state and federal agencies, as well as some private organizations.

The filings vary from simple listings of the address and principal executive of a company, to detailed documents that publicly traded companies must file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
