How to...Find competitors and comparables for a company

The search system allows a sophisticated blend of keyword and dimension searching. This enables you to drill down to find groups of companies based upon keywords, sectors, geographies and more. In addition, the deal search allows you to find comparable deals in similar companies.

The company profile also allows you to click through to the search engine to find groups of similar companies. In particular Library House’s Sub-sector Classification tags help you to find highly relevant competitors and comparables with one click.

How to...Keep up to date on relevant news

You can use your personal dashboard to keep up to date on the news most relevant to you.

Controls allow you to move the panels that interest you the most to the top of the page.

Panels can be refined by sector, geography and timeframe, so you need only see the items of direct interest to you.

If you are subscribed to more than one online data product, you can switch between them easily using the named tabs at the top of the screen.
