EXHIBIT 10.6

                                                            For: ROBERT LA TERRA

                                 FIND/SVP, INC.
                             STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT

This Option agreement evidences the grant by the Board of Directors of FIND/SVP,
Inc.  (the  "Company"),  on April 1,  2003 of an option  to  purchase  up to One
Hundred  and Fifty  Thousand  (150,000)  shares of the Common  Stock,  par value
$.0001 per share,  of the Company at a price of $1.15 per share,  which is equal
to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant,  to Robert La
Terra an employee of the Company (the "Participant"),  pursuant to the Company's
1996 stock  option  plan,  as  amended  (the  "Plan"),  a copy of which has been
delivered herewith.  The Option is specifically  subject to all of the terms and
conditions  of the Plan with the same  force and effect as if fully set forth in
the Option Agreement. However, in the event of any inconsistency with respect to
the terms of this Option  Agreement as compared with the provisions of the Plan,
the  provisions  of this  Option  Agreement  shall  control and  prevail.  IT IS
INTENDED  THAT THE OPTION  EVIDENCED  BY THIS OPTION  AGREEMENT  SHALL NOT BE AN
INCENTIVE  STOCK OPTION AS DEFINED IN SECTION 422 OF THE UNITED STATES  INTERNAL
REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED,  AND ANY  REGULATIONS  PROMULGATED  THEREUNDER
(THE  "CODE").   Except  as  otherwise  indicated  by  the  context,   the  term
"Participant",  as used in the Option Agreement,  shall be deemed to include any
person who acquires the right to exercise this option validly under its terms.

1.    ACCEPTANCE OF OPTION AGREEMENT

The Participant's execution of this Option Agreement will indicate acceptance of
and  willingness  to be bound by its terms;  it imposes no  obligation  upon the
Participant  to  purchase  any  of  the  shares  subject  to  the  Option.   The
Participant's  obligation to purchase shares can arise only upon exercise of the
Option in the manner set forth in paragraph 3 hereof.

2.    TIME OF EXERCISE

Subject to the provisions  hereof, the Options granted hereunder are immediately
exercisable in full, and vest upon grant, provided, however, that the Option may
not be exercised as to less than 100 shares at any one time.  The Option expires
at the end of ten years  from the date of grant  whether or not it has been duly
exercised.

3.    METHOD OF EXERCISE

The Option shall be exercisable by written notice signed by the  Participant and
delivered to the Company at its principal  executive  offices,  attention of the
President of the Company, signifying election to exercise the Option. The notice
must  state the  number of  shares of Common  Stock as to which  Option is being
exercised, and (i) unless indicated to the contrary by the Company, must contain
a representation and acknowledgement by the Participant (in a form acceptable to
the Company)  that,  among other things,  such shares are being  acquired by the
Participant for investment and not with a view to their  distribution or resale,
that the shares are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
(the "Act"),  that the shares may have to be held indefinitely unless registered
for resale under the Act or an exemption  from  registration  is available,  and
that the Company  may place a legend on the  certificate  evidencing  the shares
reflecting  that  they  were  acquired  for  investment  and  cannot  be sold or
transferred unless registered under the Act, or unless counsel to the Company is
satisfied that the  circumstances  of the proposed  transfer do not require such
registration,  and (ii) it must be  accompanied  by payment of the full purchase
price of the shares  being  purchased.  Payment may be made (a) in cash,  (b) by
check payable to the order of the Company in the amount of such purchase  price,
(c) provided  that the sale of the shares  issuable  upon exercise of the Option
have been registered under the Act or counsel to the Company's satisfaction that

                                       1
<PAGE>

the circumstances of the proposed transfer do not require such registration,  by
irrevocable instructions to a broker to sell shares of Common Stock to be issued
upon  exercise of the  Option,  and to deliver to the Company the amount of sale
proceeds  necessary to pay such purchase price and to deliver the remaining cash
proceeds, less commissions and brokerage fees to the Participant,  or (d) by any
combination  of the methods of payment  described  in (a) through (c) above.  If
notice of the exercise of the Option is given by a person or persons  other than
the Participant,  the Company may require, as a condition to the exercise of the
Option,  the submission to the Company of appropriate proof of the right of such
person or persons to exercise the Option.

4.    ISSUANCE OF CERTIFICATES UPON EXERCISE OF OPTION

Certificates  representing  the shares of Common Stock for which payment is made
upon exercise of the Option shall be issued as soon as practicable. The Company,
however,  shall not be required to issue or deliver a certificate for any shares
until it has complied with all  requirements  of the Securities Act of 1933, the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  any stock  exchange  on which the  Company's
Common Stock may then be listed and all applicable state laws in connection with
the  issuance  or sale of such  shares  or the  listing  of such  shares on said
Exchange. Until the issuance of the certificate for such shares, the Participant
or such other person as may be entitled to exercise the Option,  shall have none
of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to the Option.

5.    NATURE OF SHARES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF OPTION

In the event the  Company  chooses  not to register  the shares  underlying  the
Option,  the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Option will be
unregistered  and  must  be  held  indefinitely  unless  they  are  subsequently
registered  under  the  Securities  Act  of  1933  or  an  exemption  from  such
registration,  such as embodied in Rule 144,  is  available.  Rule 144 under the
Securities Act of 1933 permits,  upon compliance with certain conditions,  sales
in limited amounts of shares of publicly held companies which are current in the
filing of various required reports with the Securities and Exchange  Commission,
which shares have been beneficially  owned and fully paid for at least one year.
The Company has not covenanted to take such action as may be necessary to permit
sales under Rule 144.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  the Company shall file a
Registration  Statement on Form S-8 thereby registering the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Option as soon as  reasonably  practical  after the date hereof,
but in any event on or before  December  31,  2003.  Participant  is  advised to
inquire of the appropriate  officer of the Company at any time that  Participant
may wish to sell any shares obtained from the exercise of the Option.

6.    TERMINATION OF SERVICES

If Participant's  relationship with the Company (or a subsidiary  thereof) as an
Employee, Officer, Director, Consultant, or Advisor is terminated by the Company
or by  the  Participant  for  any  reason  whatsoever  including  by  reason  of
disability,  death or  retirement  at age 65, with cause,  without  cause,  good
reason or voluntary termination by the Participant,  the Option may be exercised
by the Participant or his legal  representative or heirs, as the case may be, at
any time within ten years from the date of grant of the Option.

7.    NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTION

The option shall not be transferable or assignable except by will or the laws of
descent and  distribution,  and may be exercised during  Participant's  lifetime
only by the Participant.

8.    ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION

If the shares of Common Stock  outstanding are changed in number,  kind or class
by reason of a stock split, combination, merger, consolidation,  reorganization,
reclassification, exchange or any capital adjustment,

                                       2
<PAGE>

including a stock dividend, or if any distribution is made to shareholders other
than a cash dividend and the Board of Directors  deems it appropriate to make an
adjustment, then (i) the aggregate number and class of shares that may be issued
or transferred  pursuant to Section 2 of the Plan,  (ii) the number and class of
shares  which are issuable  under  outstanding  options,  and (iii) the purchase
price to be paid per share  under  outstanding  options,  shall be  adjusted  as
hereinafter provided.  Adjustments under Section 12 of the Plan shall be made in
a proportionate  and equitable  manner by the Board of Directors (or Committee),
whose  determination  as to what  adjustments  shall  be  made,  and the  extent
thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive. In the event that a fraction of
a share results from the foregoing adjustment, said fraction shall be eliminated
and the price per share of the remaining  shares subject to the option  adjusted
accordingly.  In the  event  of a  liquidation  of  the  Company,  or a  merger,
reorganization  or  consolidation  of the Company with any other  corporation in
which the Company is not the  surviving  corporation  or the  Company  becomes a
wholly  owned  subsidiary  of  another  corporation,   any  unexercised  options
theretofore  granted  under  the  Plan  shall be  deemed  cancelled  unless  the
surviving  corporation  in any  such  merger,  reorganization  or  consolidation
elected to assume the options under the Plan or to issue  substitute  options in
place thereof;  provided,  however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
options  would  otherwise be cancelled in  accordance  with the  foregoing,  the
optionee shall have the right, exercisable during a ten-day period ending on the
fifth day prior to such liquidation,  merger or  consolidation,  to exercise the
option in whole or in part.  The  granting  of an option  pursuant  to this Plan
shall  not  affect  in any  way  the  right  or  power  of the  Company  to make
adjustments,  reorganizations,  reclassifications  or changes of its  capital or
business  structure  or to merge,  consolidate,  dissolve,  liquidate or sell or
transfer all or any part of its business or assets.

                                 PROMISSORY NOTE

$3,000,000.00                                                      April 1, 2003

      FOR VALUE RECEIVED, on or before April 1, 2008 (the "MATURITY DATE"), the
undersigned, FIND/SVP, INC., a New York corporation ("MAKER"), promises to pay
to the order of PETRA MEZZANINE FUND, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership
("PAYEE"; Payee and any subsequent holder[s] hereof are hereinafter referred to
individually and collectively as "HOLDER"), by automatic debit to Payee's
account number 1011832 at Pinnacle National Bank, Nashville, Tennessee, ABA
Routing Number 064008637, or at such other place as Holder may designate to
Maker in writing from time to time, the principal sum of THREE MILLION AND
NO/100THS DOLLARS ($3,000,000.00), together with interest on the outstanding
principal balance hereof from the date hereof at the rate of thirteen and
one-half percent (13.5%) per annum (computed on the basis of a 360-day year
consisting of twelve (12) 30-day months, to the extent permitted by applicable
law).

      Interest on the outstanding principal balance hereof shall be due and
payable monthly, in arrears, with the first installment being payable on the
last business day of the month hereof, and subsequent installments being payable
on the last business day of each succeeding month thereafter until the
indebtedness evidenced hereby has been fully repaid. Principal payments in the
amount of $250,000.00 shall be due and payable quarterly, with the first
installment being payable on March 31, 2006, and subsequent installments being
payable on the last business day of each succeeding third (3rd) month thereafter
until the indebtedness evidenced hereby has been fully repaid. On the Maturity
Date, the entire outstanding principal balance, together with all accrued and
unpaid interest, shall be immediately due and payable in full.

      The indebtedness evidenced hereby may be prepaid in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time, without premium or penalty. Any such prepayments
shall be credited first to any accrued and unpaid interest and then to the
outstanding principal balance hereof, in inverse order of maturity.

      Reference is here made to that certain Loan Agreement of even date
herewith, by and between Payee and Maker (together with any and all amendments,
modifications, supplements, extensions, renewals, substitutions and/or
replacements thereof, herein referred to as the "LOAN AGREEMENT"; capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings as in
the Loan Agreement). This Note is the "Note" as defined and referred to in the
Loan Agreement, and this Note is entitled to the benefits and security of, and
is secured by, the Loan Agreement, the other Security Documents and the other
Loan Documents.

      Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the entire outstanding
principal balance of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together with any other
sums advanced hereunder, under the Loan Agreement and/or under any other
instrument or document now or hereafter evidencing,

                                                         PAGE 1 OF A 3 PAGE NOTE
<PAGE>

securing or in any way relating to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, together
with all unpaid interest accrued thereon, shall, at the option of Holder and
without notice to Maker, at once become due and payable and may be collected
forthwith, regardless of the stipulated date of maturity. Upon the occurrence of
any Event of Default, at the option of Holder and without notice to Maker, all
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall be added to the outstanding principal
balance hereof, and the entire outstanding principal balance, as so adjusted,
shall bear interest thereafter until paid at an annual rate (the "DEFAULT RATE")
equal to the lesser of (1) the rate that is three percentage points (3.0%) in
excess of the above-specified interest rate, or (2) the maximum rate of interest
allowed to be charged under applicable law (the "MAXIMUM RATE"), regardless of
whether there has been an acceleration of the payment of principal as set forth
herein. All such interest shall be paid at the time of and as a condition
precedent to the curing of any such Event of Default.

      In the event this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for
collection or for enforcement or protection of the security, or if Holder incurs
any costs incident to the collection of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or the
enforcement or protection of the security, Maker and any indorsers hereof agree
to pay to Holder an amount equal to all such costs, including without limitation
reasonable attorney's fees and all court and other costs.

      Presentment for payment, demand, protest and notice of demand, protest and
nonpayment are hereby waived by Maker and all other parties hereto. No failure
to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby by reason of default hereunder,
acceptance of a past-due installment or other indulgences granted from time to
time, shall be construed as a novation of this Note or as a waiver of such right
of acceleration or of the right of Holder thereafter to insist upon strict
compliance with the terms of this Note or to prevent the exercise of such right
of acceleration or any other right granted hereunder or by applicable laws. No
extension of the time for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any
installment due hereunder, made by agreement with any person now or hereafter
liable for payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby, shall operate to
release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Maker
hereunder or that of any other person now or hereafter liable for payment of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby, either in whole or in part, unless Holder agrees
otherwise in writing. This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver,
change, modification or discharge is sought.

      All agreements herein made are expressly limited so that in no event
whatsoever, whether by reason of advancement of proceeds hereof, acceleration of
maturity of the unpaid balance hereof or otherwise, shall the interest and loan
charges agreed to be paid to Holder for the use of the money advanced or to be
advanced hereunder exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws
in effect from time to time. If for any reason whatsoever the interest or loan
charges paid or contracted to be paid in respect of the indebtedness evidenced
hereby shall exceed the maximum amounts collectible under applicable laws in
effect from time to time, then, IPSO FACTO, the obligation to pay such interest
and/or loan charges shall be reduced to the maximum amounts collectible under
applicable laws in effect from time to time, and any amounts collected by Holder
that exceed such maximum amounts shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance remaining unpaid hereunder and/or refunded to Maker so that

                                                         PAGE 2 OF A 3 PAGE NOTE
<PAGE>

at no time shall the interest or loan charges paid or payable in respect of the
indebtedness evidenced hereby exceed the maximum amounts permitted from time to
time by applicable law. This provision shall control every other provision in
any and all other agreements and instruments now existing or hereafter arising
between Maker and Holder with respect to the indebtedness evidenced hereby.

      This Note is intended as a contract under and shall be construed and
enforceable in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee, except to the
extent that federal law may be applicable to the determination of the Maximum
Rate.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Maker has executed this Note, or has caused this Note
to be executed by its duly authorized officer or other representative, as of the
date first above written.

                                              MAKER:
