What’s your business DNA? Is it the same as other business owners?

Are you an ambitious, entrepreneurial business owner with a collaborative mindset? You are? Good!
You’re in the right place.

Running your own business can be tough and the odds are against you - but don’t worry! The support you need is on your doorstep - at next to no cost!

Did you know?

In 2019, there were 5.82 million small businesses in the UK¹. These accounted for 60% of the employment and around half of the turnover in the UK private sector². Sadly, 60% of those new businesses will go-under within three years. 20% will close their doors within just 12 months³.

The top 3 reasons for this lack of success are⁴:

lack of cash
no plan
lack of clear value proposition

The solution

At The Business Community, we believe that, with the right support at the right price - any small business can succeed. With our positive attitude of mutual collaboration and a desire to share our collective wisdom and experience, we all have so much to gain:

Connections & contacts
Business advice and tips
Encouragement and support through the dark days
A pat on the back when things go well

The cost for these enormous business benefits? Membership of The Business Community comes in at only £32 per month*

<p>This is a small enough networking group to feel like a community but big enough to have a <strong>good variety of different business types and sizes</strong>. Love the meeting structure (with a difference) which gives the chance to discuss as a whole group and <strong>share ideas</strong> rather than just speaking to the people sitting next to you. Can't recommend it more highly to anyone running their own business.</p>

<p>Since starting my business 18 months or so ago, I have gone from a networking novice to being a solid contributor through meeting and getting to know the <strong>wealth of business skills</strong>, <strong>knowledge</strong> and <strong>experience</strong> of Paul Green and the members of The Business Community. I mainly attend the Wellingborough session, but have plans to spread myself further afield in Northamptonshire during the rest of this year as membership allows this, unlike others.</p>
<p>The <strong>format of the meetings is fun</strong>, <strong>but has meaning</strong> ... and you can always be assured <strong>a friendly welcome</strong> (as I got recently when attending the Daventry session for the first time). I have made <strong>loads of good business contacts</strong> that I would have only made through The Business Community ... if you are starting or have recently started a business, book yourself on a session and find out for yourself ... breakfast is good too!</p>

<p>I have done lots of networking over the years, and I love The Business Community. It hits <strong>just the right mix of being structured and organised</strong> while still being a <strong>friendly and relaxed</strong> place to be. The business world would be a lonelier place without it.</p>
