Situation Analysis
77
•The Market Situation analysis includes research and analysis of your
target market, competitors, business challenges, and your company’s
competitive differentiators. It should contain your best and most clear
description of the current state of the marketplace.

•This section should describe your company’s strengths and weaknesses,
as well as opportunities and threats you face.

•Your Market Situation section should be based on facts – not speculation,
guesses or hunches – gathered from research. To get these facts, make a
list of customer contacts and key employees to talk to, and pick their
brains. Also, gather any pertinent research about your industry from your
trade associations and local educational institutions.
