Depending on the size of the target and whether they are a publicly traded company, there may be more places or types of information you can look for and gather. One place to start, at least for publicly traded companies, is with their financial statements. In the US, companies are required to file reports about the financial health of the company. In these reports, they disclose other types of information, including company direction as well as executive staff and board members. You can find these reports in the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval (EDGAR) database on the US Securities and Exchange Commission website at https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html.
