The British Library Business & IP Centre in London has a large programme of free and low cost events covering a wide range of topics, including business start-up advice.
The Business & IP Centre is part-funded by the London Development Agency (LDA). It launched in March 2006 and supports entrepreneurs, inventors and small businesses from that first spark of inspiration to successfully launching and developing a business.
The Centre offers free access to the UK’s most comprehensive collection of business and intellectual property databases and publications, including general startup advice, information on funding sources, market research, company data, business news and information on patents, trade marks, registered designs and copyright. Anyone can use the British Library, all you need is a Reader Pass.
Workshops run by British Library staff are free of charge; however, some workshops run by partners are charged at a nominal fee and may have different booking procedures. Advance booking for all our workshops is essential.
Go to the British Library & IP Centre website and find out what’s on this month.
