    Hi folks,

    Very sorry, this may be the wrong place to ask this question but I wasn't sure where to put it so please move if there's a better forum.

    I'm looking into starting a particular tourism related enterprise but I'd like, if possible, to get a look at some competitors books or returns. Is this type of information available online to the general public, if so, where would I find it?

    Many thanks,

    John

    Try the companies registration office and have a look around.

    They charge for reports but small companies don't have to give all that much detail so it might not be worth buying lots of them.

    The information you get from there can also be out of date by a couple of years, that's a long time in the current climate.

    www.cro.ie/search - you will have to pay a few euro for each document. Of course, the document needs to be there first.

    John,

    I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for in sets of accounts but let me pass on some advice.

    Try not to get to bogged down in the numbers. Consider your own offering and how and why you do this better than anyone else already there. You may know it but the market doesn't.

    In the sector you are competing in, it not so much about turnover or profits but the actual margins you earn on every unit you sell. Further to this, the most resilient operators maintain their margins by good pricing, customer service and delivery.

    Maybe some hard work too :-)
