British Library, Business & IP Centre

The Business & IP Centre was launched in 2006 with the aim to support businesses, entrepreneurs and inventors grow their organisations across a range of industries.

Providing small business advice, support and resources the Centre has been used by more than 500,000 individuals, a number that increases alongside our offering of business support.
