aspects of pre and post small busi-

ness start-ups. There is no charge

to students for counselling, while
non-students pay a nominal fee.

Among the recent additions to
the Centre’s resource library are the
information booklets on patents,
copyrights, trademarks and techni-
cal design. There is no charge to
clients for these and many other
publications in the Centre’s library,
although publications such as the
International Self-Counsel Press
series are available to purchase.

The Centre has also acquired
the very exciting BUSINESS DISC
— an interactive video system. The
Business Disc is a video simulation
which will lead the client through
the steps of planning a small busi-
ness and then allow him to ex-
perience managing the business for
twelve months.

The program will allow him to:
- experiment with different plan-

ning options and to outline his
plan in a fraction of the time it
would normally take.

- figure his income needs, busi-
ness expenses, sales expenses,
sales fluctuations and pricing.

- ‘talk’ with, and respond to,
professional advisors and other
business owners, and to
vicariously experience the first
year in business, based on the
decisions he has made.

If he already owns a business,
this will provide him with valuable
information that may help him to
improve his business.

For more information on this
wonderful system and other ser-
vices being offered at the Centre,
contact Sherry Naso at 526-4808 or
local 5496, for a more certain busi-
ness success. Hf
