A new era for creative business support Creative Industry Business Support (CIBS) does precisely what it says on the tin.  Through provision of specialist support, and collaboration with anyone and everyone, we’ll help creative businesses to survive and thrive. You qualify for help if you run a business in any creative category, whatever the sub sector.  You can be of any size, from micro business to larger SME and even a multi national corporation. We’ll follow the government’s definition of ‘creative’ by determining that any business related to the development and exploitation of intellectual property will fit the bill.  If in doubt, see the sub-sector list on our sister site. We’re based in England’s North West but have no rules about where your business is based. The majority will be regional and many more from across the Northern Way.  But wherever you are in the UK, or around the world, you can talk to us.  The bigger the network, the better for everyone.  We talk enough about this being a virtual world, often connected by our own sector’s digital know-how, so let’s take advantage.
