Finding Information on Your Company's Overseas Locations

Ideas

Check the company website for information on foreign locations and overseas business initiatives. Don't forget to check the Investors Relations section of the site.

The company's 10K (annual report) provides lots of valuable information on your company. Check the General and Reportable Segments sections for relevant information on geopgraphic units. The Risk Factors and Properties sections are also places where you may find location information.

The 10K can be accessed through Hoover's or the company website. The 10K is a report filed annually with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) so look for an SEC Filings link or something similar on the company website. On Hoover's, go to the Company Overview page and mouse over the Financials link in the company index section.

Select SEC Filings. In the Refine By Form Type box, check the box next to Annual Reports - 10K. Select the most recent report from the results list.

Check articles from newspapers and trade journals mentioning locations outside the US.
