British Library

The British Library Business & IP Centre, based at St Pancras in London, opened in March 2006 with the help of London Development Agency funding. Since then, it has welcomed over 1,000,000 people through the doors and online. We have an excellent track record in supporting entrepreneurs from all walks of life to start and grow successful businesses, with people who have used our services up to four times more likely to create a sustainable business.

The Business & IP Centre is at the core of a wider National Network across the UK, through which any entrepreneur or SME can receive free access to databases, market research, journals, directories and reports worth thousands of pounds, as well as a high quality and consistent service tailored to meet local requirement. These are enhanced by trusted business and Intellectual Property support, webinars, events and networking opportunities.
