    What are some of your favorite websites to find information about businesses, companies, certain markets, trends ect. which also gives graphs and charts?

    I'm writing a business plan and need lots of information on a certain type of business.

    Capital IQ, Hoovers and SEC's Edgar database for 10K/Annual Reports for public companies. You could also go to finance.yahoo.com or marketwatch.com and then look up a public company and get their 10k, then look at Management's Discussion and Analysis sections to see if they describe the industry at all.

    I interned at a business valuation firm when I was in college and had to write or update these industry reports for any appraisals they did, and I was always able to find stuff in either Lexis-Nexis or with S&P industry analyses: both of those resources should be available at your biggest local public library or university library.

    I imagine the Small Business Administration or Department of Commerce websites have some stuff too.
