OAKLAND, Md. - Marylandian -- Despite the critical role research plays in business success, studies show that nearly 80% of businesses launch without conducting formal industry or market research, and approximately 60% of business failures are preventable with proper market analysis. Given the significant number of businesses that fail within the first five years, SBO emphasizes that research is no longer optional, it is essential.

"Starting a business without research is like navigating without a compass," said Dr. Okera Jenkins, Founder of Strategic Business Optimization. "With internal and external factors influencing outcomes, relying on guesswork significantly increases the likelihood of costly missteps. Our research services are designed to replace assumptions with evidence so business owners can move forward with clarity and confidence."

To meet businesses where they are, Strategic Business Optimization offers three-tiered industry and market research plans, tailored to different stages of the business lifecycle:

Tertiary Research: Clarity Before Commitment

Tertiary research synthesizes existing studies and reports into high-level insights that provide a clear understanding of an industry's landscape, trends, and growth potential. This option is ideal for early-stage entrepreneurs who need strategic direction before making significant investments. It delivers essential context, trend awareness, and guidance to help business owners determine where to focus next.

Secondary Research: Data-Driven Validation

Secondary research builds a strong foundation for informed decision-making by analyzing credible, existing data from trusted sources. This approach examines market demand, competitive dynamics, pricing trends, and industry benchmarks. It is recommended for businesses seeking evidence-based validation to reduce risk, assess opportunity, and position themselves competitively, without the time or expense of collecting original data.

Primary Research: Exclusive, Original Insights

Primary research begins where secondary research ends. It involves collecting original qualitative and quantitative data directly from a business's target audience to answer questions that existing data cannot. Led by Dr. Jenkins, whose academic and professional expertise spans advanced research methodologies, this service delivers real-time, proprietary insights that competitors cannot access. Pricing is customized based on project scope. Primary research is recommended for high-impact decisions that demand precise, audience-specific intelligence.

With the launch of its Research & Insights Services, Strategic Business Optimization reinforces its commitment to helping businesses move from uncertainty to strategy, armed with data, direction, and a clear path forward.
