To help you research your potential business in the first instance, a really useful product is the Google Adwords Reseach tool.

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

If you were trying to decide whether there is a greater public demand for, say, Occasion Cakes or Doll houses, just type the terms one at a time into Google Adwords Research tool, the data shown should give you an idea of the demand for that particular service. If the monthly search results are under a hundred, then maybe the business doesn’t have much mileage, if the results are in the thousands, congratulations, you might be onto a winner.

Hallelujah for the Internet.
