Need to write a company profile but don’t know where to start? This article outlines the steps you need to take, complete with examples for inspiration.

Whether you own a small startup or a global conglomerate, having a company profile is a must. However, what you consider interesting could be an utter snooze fest for the reader, making you miss the chance to market your brand successfully.

If you want to ensure that you’ve got all the correct information to entice your reader, you need to turn the traditional business profile on its head and consider what your audience wants to know about your company.

To help you do that, we’ve outlined the most critical steps you need to follow to create a captivating company profile.

Steps to writing a company profile
1. Identify the profile’s purpose
Anyone aspiring to reach an elite level in their field should realize that excellence is never an individual pursuit and requires the coordination of many. The people who have transcended their domain may appear to stand alone (think Michael Jordan, Tiger, Jobs, Newton, Gates, or Musk), but no one has ever achieved excellence without the support, knowledge, experience, and mentorship gained from others. There are no solo superstars because extreme success is increasingly complex and requires multiple streams of knowledge, inspiration, ideas, and support. Very often, it is new information from others that makes the difference between good and great.

Before 2010, tennis star Novak Djokovic was an excellent player and competitive on the world stage, but he was not one of the game's all-time greats. Even though he trained harder than most pros and was fanatic about his fitness, he suffered from mid-match breakdowns.
Entrepreneurship is an emotional rollercoaster unlike any other sport: The highs are so high, and the lows are very low.

This week, a recently exited employee asked for a larger severance package because of the hard times ahead for his family. I worried about a different team member facing a mental health crisis, whom I desperately wanted to help. But I had to respect his privacy and couldn't do much more than introduce him to some resources. We faced a potential inventory shortage that could derail our growth projections, but we also earned two new investors. The list goes on... amazing highs and difficult lows.

I began my first business at 22 years old. Since then, I've started or co-founded five businesses--all of which are still operating today.
