How to find businesses that already exist, their annual sales and where they are located.
Answer
To find businesses that already exist in your market go to the Library Home page and click on Articles, and find the DemographicsNow(Gale) database.
This database can help you determine how many other similar business are in your target location.
For this example, we are looking for the following market information – 1) How many Beauty Salons exist in Taylor, Michigan, 2) their locations in Taylor, Michigan and 3) what are their annual sales.
See the attached file for a step by step guide to using the DemographicsNow (Gale) database to find this information.
