    See my list of market research statistics sources at
    http://www.willitsell.com/cateref4.htm#Statistics. Not all are
    online sources but if you're looking for a loan making the effort to
    dig them out and cite them should be worthwhile. (I recommend every
    business plan have, available at least, an appendix with copies of
    the appropriate pages, and their publications title and copyright
    pages, that source numbers used in it.) Unfortunately, the more
    detailed info you want the more likely that you'll have to pay a
    pretty penny to someone who has already collected it ($2,000-$3,000
    is not unusual) or substantially more for someone to attempt to get
    it just for you.
