What's "big"? Any particular sectors (manufacturing, service, etc)?\nhttp://www.sec.gov will have a lot of data on all publicly traded companies in the US, and will have some data on large privately held firms.

If it happens to be a US public company, that information can be found on SEC filings, by following the link below.\n\nIf it happens to be a not for profit organization, you can find that from the Form 990, which is public information. Guidestar is one place you can find the 990s.\n\nIf the above don't apply, you'll have to call them and ask

Publicly traded companies are regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Information can be found on those companies online.  Yahoo has a financial section that has links to much of the available info.  Privately held companies in the US have no public information requirements, that I know of.

BullDogg has a good point the ACS is run by drug companies and politicians. They only research useless and costly treatments. To see for yourself read the e-book I have linked to below, chapter 7 is very informative. Nut the whole thing is a must read. You will never want to donate to those organizations again. My dad died of cancer and if this information was used and widely available he would still be alive.

Ask your broker for a copy of the Red Herring.  Otherwise, the SEC(Securities and Exchange Commission) web-site likely has all filings for ipo's. Good luck.

The American Hospital Association can probably help you. See http://www.aha.org/aha/index.jsp

There's no such website -- unless you want to look at EDGAR http://www.sec.gov/edgar.shtml if they are publicly held businesses\n\nThe incorporation is done through each state, and some states allow you to search their incorporation database. Check the website of the Secretary of State for each state - they have the incorporation information (note though that some states do not put their database online) Maybe you can try that -- 50 states is still less than 200 :o)

Public companies are not required to disclose that type of information.  More often than not when a growing company signs a big deal with a major supplier there's a press release.  Do some research into the press releases of the companies that you are trying to analyze.
