Working for yourself is the dream for many, but it is a long, hard road to get your own small business of the ground and to keep things running smoothly. As you may be aware, a business owner never has a day off. It can be a struggle just to find accurate information on the process of becoming a business owner, insuring your business, and hiring and managing your employees. But, as always, your Terrebonne Parish Library has you covered!
In the "business" section of our "databases by name" page at MyTPL.org, you will find a handful of tools which will help you at every step along the way, from writing your business plan to maintaining your corporate records. One of the easiest to use is the Small Business Reference Center, hosted by EBSCO.
Featuring tutorials, videos, documents, and full text ebooks from NOLO, a leading publisher of legal books for the lay person, almost any question you have regarding the process of building and maintaining your business can be answered with the materials available in this database. A state specific "start up information" page of the database provides vital statistical information by state, such as demographic data, fastest growing cities, and licenses/permits; all information that you will need to plan and execute your professional vision.
There are no holds or requests necessary. All of the books are available 24/7 to multiple users. You can even save and print PDFs from the database and the ebooks in it. And of course, it is all free, funded by your Terrebonne Parish Library.
