Business Information: Tools of the Trade
Perfect for Start-Ups & SMEs - Introduction to the BIPC business databases for startups, funding, company information and market research
Tools for Start-ups, Funding, Information on companies and Market Research.
Here at the BIPC we have a fantastic array of business databases to make starting and running your own business easier, helping you every step of the way - this database session will guide you through how to use them to help your business develop and grow. From an online business mentor to a huge funding database, from information about your competitors or b2b (business to business) customers to market research into your industry and customer base, these tools will enable you to make informed decisions and reduce the risks when starting a new venture.
Effective business planning and research will allow you to forecast financial outcomes, look into your competition, find a niche in the market, develop a marketing strategy as well as being essential in creating business plans and applying for funding.
In this workshop, we’ll look at:
- An overview of how to access the business databases via the BIPC
- Database for startups: COBRA
- Database for grants funding: GRANTfinder
- Introduction to market research
- Looking at the existing competition and the information and contacts you can gain: FAME, Kompass
- Looking at ‘desk’ market research: IBIS World, Statista, Mintel, EMIS
Join us for a workshop which will introduce you to these databases, their functions, filters and reports. A great webinar to allow you to begin your business research and planning journey in the company of other start-up entrepreneurs and business owners.
