Company Data for Southwestern Ontario

Question:
I have a researcher looking for financial information about Southwestern Ontario companies more specifically income, output levels and capital values for each company. Or is this available at a broader level such as by NAIC and geography (Postal Code, CSD, etc) Any ideas where this data could be?

Answer: 
Statistics Canada does not publicly publish business confidential data at any level, all identifiers are suppressed prior to publishing. This type of data would only be accessible through the Business Register (formerly the Canadian Business Patterns), which is not publicly accessible.

Nonetheless, we did come across Dalhousie University’s Business Research Guide that outlined numerous resources for company financial statements.
