COBRA

Croydon libraries have a fantastic range of business resources available free to anyone who joins the Library. Resources include COBRA, a comprehensive, practical and continually updated information resource for anyone looking to start a business, write a business or marketing plan, or conduct research into a new market; Keynote, which is market research information; Kompass giving business listings; and FAME giving detailed contact information and financial data for 3.4 million registered companies in the UK and Ireland.

To help people use these resources the libraries deliver free seminars once a month. In addition to the business online resources is the digital e-book service which allows you to download an e-business book. To find out more please click on the urls below.
