Conduct thorough research and analysis for your new business.
As you begin to understand the specifics of the new industry you are entering, there are some additional facts and insights you should gather to be better prepared to launch a business. Some of the key components of your market analysis should include:
- Target audience demographics and segmentation
- Target market
- Market need
- Competition
- Barriers to entry and regulations
Research and Analyze Your Market
Market research is a way of gathering information about your target market or audience. This helps you understand the business potential your new company will have. It looks into the value of the market, the volume of business you can expect, customer segments and their buying patterns, potential competitors and any regulations you may face upon entering the market. It’s important to conduct a thorough market research and analysis to show potential financiers and partners that you understand the market you are entering.
Your target audience will vary depending on the specifics of your business and how you will be selling goods or services; but no matter how you plan to go to business, include the size and value of the customer base and who the potential customer may be. This will help your investors and lenders can understand your industry as well as you do. The target market is the type of customers, and even though your business may be one everyone can benefit from, try to be as specific as possible.
When explaining the market need, detail the demand for your product or service and how your business will fill any gaps in the market. If the marketplace is already saturated be sure to explain why you will be successful in meeting or exceeding your audience’s need. Explain who your competitors are, including their strengths and weaknesses. You can describe what you think they could be doing better.
Finally, you need to proactively answering some questions your investors will have. What barriers are there to entering the market – for you and for your future competitors? What will make you successful in navigating those barriers? Some barriers may be investments, technology, or regulations. If there are any industry regulations, explain them and how your business will stay compliant.
