Check out your competition. Find out what they charge, who their preferred suppliers are, etc. Do they do anything in-house or outsource?
Also, find out if they’re all really busy. If they are, then there’s enough room in the market for one more. (Heck, one might even mentor you if there’s more than enough business to go around.) But if they’re struggling to find business, you might want to look elsewhere.

Research – Spend some time at the New York Public Library’s Business Library. With your library card a lot of their databases can be accessed from home. Great for when working on your target market.
