Where can I get free market information besides the census bureau?

I'm looking for market information about small lingerie shops in the US. Info at the census bureau is too broad, limiting titles to Women's clothing and Other clothing. Also, how do I come up with a close to actual estimate for sales projections when I submit my business plan to a bank? Any type of projection I use now would be a guess at best, obviously I don't want to come up too low or too high.

Thanks.Where can I get free market information besides the census bureau?The information you require is too specific, and I don't think a free resource exists for your needs. Bizstats.com http://www.bizstats.com has retail financial ratio and benchmarks data, but the level of aggregation is still broad. They only have data on the broad clothing and accessories store.



One of the cheapest source of information I know is Bizminer.com where they breakdown the data by SIC codes. They do have data on women's and children's underwear, which may cover what you need. Their financial analysis report is only $69 as compared to the $599 reports of iBisWorld which is broken down by 4-digit NAICs industry classification.
