Small Business Resource Center


Do you dream about starting your own small business?  If so, did you know the NJ State library has recently purchased a new resource just for you?  Small Business Resource Center was purchased for New Jersey libraries as part of a new statewide campaign called NJ Grows Biz, an initiative to help small businesses get started and succeed.

This powerful online business and marketing tool can be accessed through the Matawan Aberdeen Public Library or from your home 24/7 - all you need is a library card.  The database is a wealth of information that can help you get started with any type of business, whether you want to start a coffee house or open your own daycare facility.  A basic search of your business topic you’ll get full-text information from Business Plans Handbook, including competition, market analysis, financial plans, and much more. Your searching will also yield full-text, up-to-date articles from top industry magazines, and even professional organization and associations you might be interested in joining.

There is a “How To …” section that includes information on How to Start a Small Business, How to Write a Business Plan, and How to Market or Advertise Your Business, just to name a few.  Not sure what type of business you would like to start?  The list of business types will provide plenty of ideas.

Click here to get started or stop by the library and we'll be happy to show you how to use the database!
