 More Detailed Data  While many of the above references are helpful, you will 
      probably find that they do not address the exact nature of your business 
      or your local market.  Many industry specific and local market databases are only available 
      off-line.  GDSourcing has been helping small and micro businesses access these 
      "hidden" sources since 1997. Our prices and services are geared directly 
      towards entrepreneurs with limited 
      research funds available.   What are the odds your business will be successful?
