Business and IP Centre

Donate to the Business & IP Centre and help nurture tomorrow's business leaders.

Since our launch in March 2006, over 250,000 entrepreneurs have used the Centre: we have helped expand Britain’s entrepreneurial talent, support innovation, create more businesses, and provide more jobs. Continuing this role is a vital contribution to economic growth in London and beyond.

At the core of the Centre’s services is free access to an unrivalled collection of business information – market research reports, patents, and business databases – and the expert advice of its specialist staff. Working with a range of partners, the Centre also offers free and subsidised workshops on everything from market research to business planning, one-to-one mentoring sessions with established entrepreneurs, and public events such as ‘Inspiring Entrepreneurs’ giving unique access to high-profile business role-models.
