SizeUpFrederick helps to level the competitive business playing field by providing small businesses with similar market research that typically only large corporations can afford to access by contracting multinational management consulting companies or hiring internal research analysts. “In today’s information economy, if you don’t have access to information your business is at a significant disadvantage. With the launch of SizeUpFrederick on FCOED’s website, we are empowering our small businesses in Frederick County to be able to make more data-driven decisions to better operate, succeed, and grow,” said Lara Fritts, Director of the Frederick County Division of Economic Opportunity.
SizeUpFrederick uses big data, cloud computing, and computer algorithms to deliver custom analysis for local businesses.
