Rationale
Analyzing a company, whether public or private, requires a structured approach, industry knowledge, and the ability to find data. For public companies, Brian offers detailed analyses with over 1,000 data points, providing a comprehensive overview. Private companies, however, often have different accounting standards and less transparency, making relevant data harder to find and often unstructured. Why not rely on your expert buddy Brian to provide the most important and structured information for both public and private companies in the shortest possible time?

Trouble?
For troubleshooting, consider the following:
- If you can’t find the company you are searching for:
Please check the complete list of public companies covered here here!
and the complete list of private companies covered here!
- When searching for the company it is important to start with the first letters of the actual company name
- When searching for company data, I need the exact company name, so please check if there were some typos in your request
- Specific to Private companies
– Sometimes, companies report the numbers on higher levels, so it is advisable to search for the parent company and get the information of the parent company
– Sometimes there is only a few data and Brian provides very limited information – this is due to lack of information on our supplier side
– If you want to search for a company you can not find via Brian, try to find it using the free service of North Data: https://www.northdata.com/ and ask Brian then for all the details
– The “As reported” information is sometimes quite unstructured – this is something we can not improve
