Find people who will be willing to pay for your product or service (there have to be enough of them to make it worth your while) – research market potential using census data and demographic databases
Understand the best methods to deliver the service or manufacture the product – research production options using business databases
Know who you compete with – research competitors using business databases
Understand whether your product is unique or proprietary – research patent filings
