What resources are available for me to determine my firm's target customer
for business, a competitive analysis, and any legal requirements impacting my
company and industry?
Thank you,

Hi Michele, Check out the SizeUp tool which provides free customized business analysis to small businesses in three ways:
Benchmarking an existing business to see how it sizes up by comparing performance to all other competitors in the same industry;
Mapping competition to see where competitors, customers, and suppliers are located; and
Finding the best places to advertise by choosing from pre-set reports to discover areas with the highest industry revenue and the most underserved markets. Custom demographic reports can also be created.
The following blog post also provides free sources of market data and you can find information on the licenses & permits your company will need here.
