Covering subjects from aircraft to tanks, with guided missiles, search systems and space technology in between, Manta is a solid single source for information on the aerospace industry.

In the US, public companies — companies that have issued common stock — are required to release detailed business information, which is available publicly. Private companies are not under the same requirements to release information, which can make it much harder to do a successful business background check on a private company. This is when you can turn to a service like Manta, with access to millions of private company profiles online. Manta uses four different leading publishers of business information, making the chances really strong that if you’re looking for a specific company profile, Manta will have it available online.

You can get credit information from Manta for international businesses as well. Although the reports are more expensive — more than $400 per report — and often less detailed than those available on US companies, Dun & Bradstreet offers an International Business Information Report, complete with a financial analysis and credit score. As a D&B reseller, Manta has access to reports on millions of international companies, as well as its extensive database of US-based businesses.

Can’t you get business-to-business information on your own, without paying big bucks? You can, if you want to devote full-time work to finding it. But most business owners would rather spend time managing their businesses than snooping around research libraries or conducting informational interviews. That’s why Manta, a leading publisher of business information, is such a good deal. With no subscription costs and a pay-as-you-go model, it’s an ideal source for getting business information and company information online, paying only as you need it.

Some business information you find in a Manta Supplier Evaluation Report is the same as what you get in a credit report from one of the big three credit reporting firms. But there’s a lot more in a Manta report than you get from a standard credit report. Both include financial information, but the Manta report uses that data as part of an overall business information package that includes predictive scoring and professional analysis. You can probably make sense of a business credit report, but for a few dollars more you can get it placed into context where you can learn exactly what you need.

Just as you might turn to Manta to get new prospect lists, you want to make sure your own company listing is there, too. Small businesses need all the publicity they can get, especially free or low-cost publicity. Manta uses four leading business resources– D&B, Current Analysis, Datamonitor and Snapdata. Each of these business research databases have their own rules for applying to get in. If you want to make sure your business is listed on Manta, contact each of the above business resources by going to their web sites.

Looking for credit information on a public company? You can get some information from United States companies on EDGAR. But if you want detailed credit information on United States companies and international businesses, with professional business analysis and predictive scoring, Manta has a variety of products to fit your needs. You can get a credit score report for $59, a payment analysis report for $76.50, a supplier evaluation report for $114, and a comprehensive company profile for $139.50. These reports have increasing amounts of detailed financial information, giving Manta customer plenty of choices.

Less than 10 percent of US businesses are publicly traded companies. That means the rest are privately held. So chances are that your business is privately held as are those of your competitors. So whether you are doing competitive analysis, looking for sales leads, or trying to figure out the next step for your business, private company research is going to figure into your plans. That’s why it’s important to use a professional information specialist like Manta, which has profiles of millions of private companies available online. Do a company search on Manta’s web site and see for yourself.

It’s no fun to try and indentify industry trends and analysis if you have to look forever to find the right industry reports. That’s one of the reasons why Manta makes its reports and analysis available online, with searches by company name, by industry, by geographic area and by the original publisher of the information. So, for example, if you’re looking for aerospace information, you can easily click through to see reports and analysis on that subject. If you’re looking for aerospace information in Africa, you can click through from the industry segment to the geographic segment. It reduces search time, giving you more time to actually study the reports and analysis to see how they will affect your business prospects.
