Market Research

Understanding your target market is essential in formulating a successful business and winning business plan. The market analysis gives detailed information about the demographics (characteristics) of your potential customers; it also gives industry trends and info about your competition.

A great government site that gives a ton of info to help with market research is at www.sec.gov. A good tool to assist in market analysis is at www.zapdata.com.
