Answers are found in many places. There are many tools that will provide you with data that can be generated in sources under the Business & Management tab.  Much of it will come from the US Government.  Remember that you may have to "normalize" data and account for inflation if data is not current enough or in US Dollars.  Important parts that will be useful include:
