Business & IP Centre Cambridgeshire

Cambridgeshire Libraries and the British Library’s National Network of Business & IP Centres are transforming the way ideas grow into successful businesses. We’re supporting a thriving community of bright and inspiring people in Cambridgeshire by partnering with local libraries all over the UK. Offering insights and access to free resources, training and events – both online and in-person – we’ll help you imagine, start or develop your business. Whether you’re just setting out, need advice on protecting your intellectual property, or simply have a brilliant idea you want to discuss, we’re here to guide you. You can find our National Network in regional hubs around Britain – each one based in a local library. We’ll meet you wherever you live and whatever your ambition. With new locations set to open soon, and a growing collection of helpful tools available online, we're bringing business inspiration and support to more people than ever before. Nurture your ambitions and plan for a bright future. The Centre offers free and low-cost access to business intelligence, market research, 1-1s, training and intellectual property (IP) support to aspiring entrepreneurs, start-ups and more established SMEs in Cambridgeshire. The Centre has a proven track record of helping to create successful small businesses with strong survival rates and of supporting under-represented entrepreneurs in Cambridgeshire. A recent independent report released by the British Library showed the Business & IP Centre Network supported the creation of 12,288 businesses, equivalent to 15 new businesses every working day.
