People often want to gather in-depth knowledge about an industry. Either they're seeking a job/career in a particular industry, want to establish a market (i.e., intend to sell to or buy in that business area), are creating a business plan and want to understand the market as a component of their research, or need to research an industry for academic purposes. The Federal Government offers several tools useful in building knowledge of an industry. This page will outline some of the basic tools and provide explanatory guides on using specific tools as necessary.

Training materials related to this submodule are incorporated into the Trainer Materials section on the main Small Business and Entrepreneurship page.
