NYSBDC RESEARCH NETWORK:
Who are my competitors? Know any hot marketing ideas for my industry? How much do consumers spend on my product? For a business owner, obtaining the right information is as important as finding the right location, or getting the best price.

The Research Central has been the business library & information service for the NY SBDC since 1991. It is part of the Central Office based in Albany. Its librarians provide custom research in response to requests from SBDC clients and program partners.

The Research Network provides confidential research responses in digital form. They have access to a large electronic collection of articles, reports and statistics to support the work of NY SBDC Business Advisors. 
What the Research Network can Provide:
  • Lists of suppliers or competitors in your market
  • Data providing demographic information for your target area
  • Tables and maps detailing consumer spending habits for your industry
  • Regulatory, permit, or licensing requirements
  • Industry profiles showing current trends
  • Financial norms and ratios for your industry
