It is important to select a firm for which adequate secondary data (both quantitative and qualitative) can be easily sourced. This includes data for primary competitors of the firm in question. Lastly, a geographical focus should be specified for your analysis (e.g. UK, US, EU). You are advised to carefully check for the above before finalising your firm selection.
