Outline: Suppose
a friend has been offered the chance of lifetime: a fantastic insider deal on
an acquisition that will make them a millionaire if they get in quick. Your
instinct says it’s a scam but where can you find the evidence that will
convince them? Is the company
proposing to replace your double glazing financially sound and reliable? Or
perhaps you have been asked for information on starting up as a commercial
lupin grower and the potential market. Where do you go? The number of sites
providing business information seems to increase daily and some are offering
free access. How reliable are they, and what level of quality can you expect
from them? This hands-on workshop will take you through both the key free and
priced resources for tracking down information on companies, industry sectors
and market research. There will be practical sessions throughout the day so
that you can try out some of the sites for yourself.
