New Swiss Company Financials Available Exclusively on DataStar™

Worldbox Swiss Company Financials (DataStar label SWFR) from Graham Associates AG is now available exclusively on DataStar™.

SWFR is a financial database, providing extensive coverage in English, of Swiss and Liechtenstein registered companies, together with their parent companies and subsidiaries worldwide. Information is held on all companies who disclose financial details, including large, medium and small; quoted and non-quoted, and public and private firms.

All sectors of industry and commerce are covered. The database will be a valuable tool for anyone interested in researching both financial and directory-style information on Swiss companies. As there are no legal disclosure requirements in Switzerland, other than for public companies, most of the information in SWFR is collected through extensive research and interviews, providing for high quality, accurate information.

SWFR is also competitively priced, with connect time charges of only CHF 130.00 (USD 90.00) and a full record cost of CHF 60.00 (USD 41.38).

Use SWFR to:

• find detailed financial information on a specific company
• identify companies of which a named individual is a director
• find the names of a specific company's bankers and auditors
• find answers to such detailed questions as 'which pharmaceutical companies formed after 1990 have sales of over CHF 100 million?'

Approximately one-third of the records in SWFR has Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet information. Most of the remaining records contain key financials, with a small proportion containing directory details only.

Search Tips

In order to ensure that you retrieve only those records which have, for example, both Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet data available, search as:

1_: BS=AVAILABLE and PL=AVAILABLE

Or enter ..ROOT followed by the field label and = to check availability of information. For example, to select only those records which have Number of Employees available search:

1_: ..ROOT EM=
R1  12044 DOCS     EM=AVAILABLE
R2   1439 DOCS     EM=NA
2_:  R1

The complete database search guide is available in BASE, search BASE-SWFR. The online datasheet is available at: http://library.dialog.com/datasheets.
