How to Research your Business Idea with COBRA
An introduction to COBRA (Complete Business Reference Adviser) available from home with your Devon or Torbay Libraries card. Are you in the early stages of starting up your business? Trying to get to grips with what you need to know before you launch or expand? Whether you’re setting up as a chocolatier or a cobbler, a marketing consultant or a music tutor, COBRA provides user-friendly online guides that will take you through the essentials – qualifications and skills, market issues and trends, trading and commercial issues, and the legislation you’ll need to comply with in your chosen field. You’ll also find practical fact-sheets on different aspects of running your small business – everything from keeping a cash book, or choosing an accountant, to checklists for buying a shop or employing staff for the first time. This session will introduce you to COBRA, show you what’s available, and help you access the resource from home. There’ll be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, so you get the information you need from the session. This workshop is being delivered remotely. If you have any additional requirements, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help.
