Business Source Premier covers most business and management topics including accounting, banking, economics, finance, international trade, marketing, and public administration. It contains the full-text (or abstracts) of articles from 8,000 scholarly and professional publications, academic journals, and trade magazines. The database also includes profiles of the world's 10,000 largest companies, reports for over two thousand industry sectors, and hundreds of country risk and economic reports.

Business Source Premier allows keyword and Boolean searching of many fields including company name, ticker symbol, product name, geographic location, and NAICS industry code. Business Source Premier also offers deep back issue coverage of 200 titles, non-journal content such as country reports and company profiles, an extensive thesaurus, and a wealth of international sources.
