Credit Research Investment Ideas

I am not in banking or buyside (previously was) and I am preparing for a credit research analyst interview at a performing credit fund. I am hoping to have interviews with a few other performing credit funds as well. As I go through the interview process, I am trying to put together an investment idea that I can pitch everywhere. However, I am having hard time finding resources to research a company. 

Are there any free/public resources that I could go to to look at cap structure, yields, covenants etc.? Also if you have any ideas in the HY space, I would appreciate it.
