Market research help

I am writing a business plan. I am stuck. I do not
know where to research statistical data as far as my market, projected earnings,
costs, inventory, etc. What kind of resources can I use for this? I have scheduled
2 meetings with the local business authority. I am hoping they can guide me. I
am only looking for resources to help me do this. I am not looking for anything
to be completed for me, thank you

online, found out there are 4 million births in the US per year. My
products also relate to hard surface flooring in the home, so I found
out that Hard surface flooring is like a 6 billion dollar industry in the US,
should grow at whatever rate, and x percent is household sales, I don`t
remember all the numbers off the top of my head but you get the picture.As for sales (earnings) I`m stuck on that one too. How do you know how many widgets you`re actually going to sell?
Grill. So projecting costs and inventory will be difficult but I can
guesstimate them I believe. As far as projected earnings I am
stuck. The business to this point is in my head and not a lot of folks
visit there. So projecting how much business I am to do is
difficult. The plan I have is moving along slowly but this is holding me
up. I didn`t want to decide on a certain structure size until I actually
found the right building. This will determine how many I can seat and so
forth. Maybe I should pick a number of max occupancy and build from there?
