Access to industry reports other than IBISWorld

by a searcher from London Business School

Mar 15,2023

I am looking at a deal in a niche not covered by an IBISWorld report.

Knowledge Based Value Research recently published a report on this exact industry in January, and the report is for sale through all the normal marketplaces - researchandmarkets.com, reportlinker.com, marketresearch.com.

The problem is that it costs >$3,000 which is hard to justify for a small self-funded deal which is still pre-LOI.

Does anyone have tips, tricks or hacks on how to get access to these reports without paying near the full price quoted?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
