Question by Webistant: Any inexpensive tools/ways to get some market research/survey done for a US based service company?
I am trying to launch a consumer service oriented company (in training and consultancy fields) and trying to reach some small companies, managers/executives etc of other companies to see if there is a need for such service.

Can someone point to me ways to get concept viability checked? I have draft of 4-5 questions that I would lilke to ask to my target audience. DO I need to engage market research firm? How do I get database (listing) of my target audience?
