Frank,

Mike Nelson compiled a corpus of business texts that he used in his
dissertation:

Nelson, M. (2000) A Corpus-Based Study of Business English and Business
English Teaching Materials. Unpublished PhD Thesis. Manchester: University
of Manchester.

He might be willing to share it...

Does anybody know any English or German corpora consisting of business
texts?
To be more precise: I'm not interested in business journalism but in annual
reporting, customer communication or investor relation communication.
I would be grateful for any piece of advice (e.g. a link with an overview of
corpora)
