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.

The success is partly due to the free business resources available to anyone who wants to use our comprehensive collection of databases and publications, as well as a great number of workshops, advice sessions and other events.
