If the company is private, you will need to check the "D&B Private Company Database" search option and replicate your search. Also, if you are looking for a subsidiary or a brand you will need to search for the parent company. For example, Ritz Carlton information will be found under the record of the parent company, Marriott International.
Pro tip: Check Wikipedia to see if the company is public, private, a subsidiary, or a brand.
