When you're starting out in business, trying to find the right information can seem daunting. Well, we can help!

This demonstration will show you how to make best use of FREE access to COBRA (Complete Business Reference Adviser) – a business information database. This is available to all members of any of the libraries in (some of our national network – and some can offer access at home if you have online access).

COBRA is an easy to use online resource with lots of information for people starting up a business, providing hundreds of small business guides as well as practical how-to fact sheets. The guides cover everything from writing a business or marketing plan to highlighting relevant legislation.
