All Saints, Blakenhall & Parkfield Business Community
The key to making your business more successful is being up to date with knowledge about your customers, suppliers and competitors, and the general state of the market. There are several sources of support available to help achieve this:
Wolverhampton Central Library (01902 552026) has a well stocked and dedicated business resource that local residents and businesses can use.
Market reports by research organisations such as Mintel and the Chartered Institute of Marketing are often useful to find out expected future business trends, and the most comprehensive local source is Birmingham Central Library, with most of it's facilities available to Black Country residents.
Try also the British Library.
The Business Development Team at ABCD are always willing to discuss market research methods and results with you. Contact us on 01902 556164.
Similarly, the Business Advisors at Black Country Business Link can discuss this with you, and in some cases may be able to assist with funding, depending upon availability, towards Market Research required for high growth business projects. They have an office at the Wolverhampton Science Park, Stafford Road. Tel: 0845 113 1234. The Business Link also has a useful Information Department, which can conduct research for clients, and they can be contacted using the above details.
There is helpful guidance relating to Market Research on the national Business Link website.
