Examples of products catering the specialized markets are industrial stuffs like machines ad spare parts needed to create other products.

2. Offering service (service industries)
You can offer service like printing, catering, beauty parlor, dress shop, tailoring shop, badminton courts, videoke, movie theater etc. The fast growing It industry is included in this criteria – like internet cafes, call centers, computer service shops and business programming for other companies.

3. Processing or preparing o creating the product (process industries)
