> Do you really know more then 20% of their business? > Businesses are like colours. They can be considered to be made up of combinations of three elements in suitable proportions. Those elements are service which has no end product (except, perhaps, a report), manufacturing which takes raw materials in at one end and produces finished goods at the other and wholesale/retail which buys in bulk and sells in smaller quantities at a mark-up. Each element has its own basic business model. Once you have realised that and assimilated the basic models then what you are looking for is not what their business is but how does it differ from the basic models - a much easier task than trying to learn their business from scratch.
