I'm thinking about starting my own business, based on a character that I've created. I have a registered trademark already, but I need to find Market Analysis. Does SBA offer Market Analysis to new potential start-ups? Any referrals would help. Thanks, Gary

It is really very important and necessary to achieve your goal because in
this competitive time your market research helps in getting consumer reaction
to products that set accurately and positioned in the right market.

Thanks Carl,

I really liked your idea for the link development for a site. I would
definitely implement that in my friends outdoor furnishing solutions
business. They have generated a nice portfolio of outdoor furniture and do
there trading online. So that suggestion would definitely work for him.
Thanks Carl

Hi Gary, 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.

Seems like you have already done your prior homework of business building and
have finished all the preliminary requirements for it. Now you just got to do
is to go for competitor analysis. You may do that either by questionnaire or
by online methods. My friend started a similar business of out door
furnishing solutions named "Everything Outdoor Furniture" and she used the
online mode for analyzing the competitors and find there back links.

Hey Jim,

Nice to hear from you. I was also of the same view as yours. Getting links
from portals who are high on their domain authority and page authority is the
best you can get. For competitor analyses, you may look for keyword related
searches on Google and identify the back linking sites for your competitor
from back link search.com and try to resort to activity on those sites.
