Business help – Durham County Library

One of our favorite things to do in the Incubator is to talk to you about your business! If you have a business idea and you’re not sure where to start, you can visit these sites below for business plans, startup roadmaps, and more. If you need 1:1 help, attend a workshop with one of our local partners.

Visit our online databases for Business & Entrepreneurship.
