BIPC Northamptonshire Build Your Business drop-in clinic

Find the answers to your business questions – Thursday 14 March 2024

Corby Enterprise Centre

  • Are you starting a new business, launching a new product or service? Confident that you have the building blocks in place and all the information you need?
  • Is there a business issue that is testing your knowledge, stretching your resources or simply trying your patience?
  • Wish you had more time to research new products and processes, markets and business opportunities or just not sure where to look for the information?
  • Want to feel better informed on legal obligations, intellectual property (IP) protection, emerging technologies and techniques?

 

The Business and Intellectual Property Centre (BIPC) Northamptonshire will be at Corby Enterprise Centre on Thursday 14 March 2024 to help you to find the answers to your questions.

It supports entrepreneurs, inventors and small businesses from the first spark of inspiration to successfully launching and developing a business and is provided by the Library Service in North Northamptonshire.

Its free Build Your Business programme offers:

  • One-to-one advice and guidance sessions online or in-person with its information professionals, business advisers and delivery partners.
  • Short webinars that provide a grounding in marketing techniques, financial planning, business growth strategy and personal development.
  • Access to specialist business databases for research into statutory and legal obligations, business opportunities, markets and customers.
  • Ongoing mentoring support from its business advisers.
  • Start-up grants of up to £2,000 (conditions apply).

It also helps start-up and existing businesses to understand how to recognise and protect their intellectual property through the application of copyright, registered designs, trade marks and patents etc., in conjunction with local patent attorneys.

Drop-in to reception at the Enterprise Centre on Thursday 14 March to speak with a BIPC Northamptonshire adviser. No appointment necessary.
