@Humi,
Sorry, I cannot share my market research report. This is my individual work regarding my business. We are here for advice related to any issue not for sharing business plans and market research report. If you are genuinely applying for tier-1 entrepreneur visa, we expect that you can do little bit research for your business.

Hello,
Its not necessary to include experience letter with the application. Your degree will be enough. If you can manage to make one work experience certificate, it will be bonus point for your application.
Regards,
Muhammad

Hello,
If you are switching from PSW visa with 50K investment, then you need to provide documentation for marketing and trading activities of your business.
1. Print out of business website, online advertisement, business card or flyer can be provided to prove marketing activity of your business.
2. Trade contract agreement or letter from bank can be used to prove trading activity of your business.
Hope this will help you.
Regards,
Muhammad

There is not sample letter with me...If you have opened your business account with the bank and started trading like income and expenses.....you can ask your bank to provide you letter mentioning that your business is actively trading.
Hope this will help you.
