The College Oxford Business Incubation Centre (OxBIC) provides start-ups and early-stage businesses with the support and resources those young companies find challenging to access. In addition, the College moves one step ahead in entrepreneurship by structuring the mechanisms for key stakeholders (Students, Small Businesses, and the local Community) to enhance entrepreneurial skills. Finally, we help early innovators achieve a minimum viable product (MVP) and create a business plan with SMART objectives to take that product successfully to the target market.

OxBIC offers legal and regulatory support as part of its services to startups and entrepreneurs. This support aims at helping these businesses navigate the complex legal and regulatory landscape of starting and running a business with a suitable type of company, such as sole proprietorship, partnership, limited company, or corporation. This decision can have significant legal and tax implications. We have partnerships with law firms and legal professionals who offer guidance to startups at discounted rates. This can include legal consultations, contract reviews, and other legal advice.
Startups often need to adhere to specific industry regulations and compliance requirements. We help them understand and navigate these regulations, ensuring they avoid any legal pitfalls.

Product development strategy relies on developing or rejuvenating a new product.

Market development is a business growth strategy that involves selling existing products or services to new customers in a new geographical area. It begins with market research to conduct a segmentation analysis of the existing market.
