cirt provides free business advice to creative businesses in the Leicester area only. 

If you are based in Leicester but are not in the creative sector, we recommend you contact your local Business Link who can advise on all aspects of your business. 

If you are a creative business but are not eligible for assistance from cirt, you can look for information about business support services in your area from the national Business Link website.
