NexisUni (formerly LexisNexis): How to use it

The Company Dossier search can be used to create a list of companies by industry or geographic location. The sample search below shows company and competitor information for Apple Inc.

Step 1: Find a Company

From the search page, begin by clicking on the tile, "Find a Company." 

Step 2: Enter Company's name

Next, type in the name of the company you wish to research. In the example below, we are researching the company profile for Apple Inc. 

Step 3: Company Snapshot

The Snapshot always appears first when you select a company to reserach. This section will give a high-level overview by providing information such as the associated ticker symbols, addresses, SIC codes, a business description, stock quotes, financial information, and recent news about the company. 

Step 4: Company Information 

Company information is intended to show you where the company fits in the marketplace. From within the Company Information, you can select the following: 

• Brands
• Competitors
• D&B Corporat Hierarchy
• Company History
• Latest Court Cases
• Executive Contacts
• Professional Contacts

Step 5: Financial Overview

A financial Overview also draws information from a variety of respected specialized sources to give you a financial view of the company. 

The Create a Company List search form enables you to select both industry and location criteria. NAICS code 7211 (Traveler Accommodation) was selected from the NAICS look-up link and Deland was entered in the City dialog box.
