Databases Without the Jargon: Where Your Business Data Should Live

Most small businesses run on spreadsheets until the day the spreadsheets start disagreeing with each other. The client list in one file, the invoices in another, somebody's phone number updated in three places and wrong in two. This Launch & Learn explains what a database actually is in plain language, and why one source of truth changes how the whole business runs. We cover the difference between a spreadsheet and a database, what it means for records to be linked instead of copied, when a business has outgrown its files, and what the realistic options are at small-business scale and cost. No code, no jargon, just the concepts you need to make a good decision.
