Business practice

We firmly believe that Entrepreneurship education needs "one foot outside" in the real world.

Business Plan Services' collaboration with the London Business School reinforces its position within the commercial marketplace as the UK's leading practice that is dedicated to providing full assistance with business planning.

The Centre for Creative Business was set up in conjunction with the University of the Arts London (formerly the London Institute), and seeks to build entrepreneurial management capacity and ultimately foster sustainable value generation within UK creative industries. The Centre will provide world-class education in areas of particular relevance to creative enterprises in the design, film and television, fashion, advertising, music, computer games, publishing and performing arts sectors.
The Centre for Scientific Enterprise was set up in conjunction with University College London, and takes up the Department of Trade and Industry's Science Enterprise Challenge. It provides the best science and business students with the skills, support and contacts necessary to create new business start-ups.

The Enterprise 100 was launched in 1999, and has evolved to become a fundamental central pillar to support a two-way bridge between what is happening in the classroom, the School's successful entrepreneurs, and the business community at large.

The Strategic Partners Network has been established to further strengthen the FEM's commitment to business creation and sharing entrepreneurial knowledge. Members, including Ernst & Young, ensure that FEM can continue to support its teaching, research and business creation activities with a powerful network of contacts, funding and expertise.  Amongst the many activities Strategic Partners Network supports are business plan competitions and student clubs.
Sussex Place Ventures Ltd has raised venture capital funds of £12.6 million to finance early stage ventures, providing seed capital and access to development finance for technology and service businesses arising directly from London Business School and its networks. Successes to date include Iglu.com, APR Smartlogik, TM Property Services, PrePay Technologies, Mobileum Inc, Servista, and Flexecutive plus a number of very early stage technology ventures.
