Exercise 24

Choose an industry in which you would like to own a small business. Use the Internet, the university library, and the public library to find the names and addresses of industry trade associations. Examine the web sites of the trade associations for availability of financial statistics of your industry. Examine governmental agency sites, such as those of the Department of Commerce, Department of the Treasury, Securities and Exchange Commission and the Small Business Administration for benchmark statistics.
