Institute for Small Business Initiatives Ltd. (ISBE)

The Institute for Small Business and Entrepreneurship (ISBE) is a network for people and organisations involved in small business and entrepreneurship research, policy, education, support and advice. Our purpose is to enable excellence in small business and entrepreneurship across our research, policy, practice and learning communities.

ISBE's members are its most valuable resource, offering vast reserves of knowledge and research. Through events and activities ISBE aims to disseminate this research to policy makers and business support organisations, where it can have genuine impact and inform change, and to share these resources with academics, researchers and educators. Through ISBE’s network and activities academics, policy makers and those who work in business support are able to connect and form beneficial working relationships.

With more than 40 years' experience and a 4,000 strong network, ISBE makes a valuable contribution, and engages with, all elements of the entrepreneurial community.
