Hi there,

I'm in the process of writing a business plan. However, i haven't got a clue where i can find detailed information and statistics about my market for FREE. Obviously, this part is crucial in a business plan and is the deciding factor when asking for finance.

I can't afford to pay for market research. I'm not sure if this is possible, but i need information such as:

How many of a particular product sold in a year
The financial size of the market
Estimiated growth/decline
Number of companies in market

I haven't research outside the internet as of yet. Would a business library hold such information?

any thoughts would be appreciated

Thanks
