Host Your Very Own FBN Networking Group!
It can be lonely and isolating at times as a small business owner, and so community is so important
Can you bring people together?
- Create a community and help female business owners grow in confidence?
- Is your local area lacking in a friendly, quieter and non-salesy networking group?
- Do you want to help support female entrepreneurs to grow their network and business and have fun along the way?
What are the benefits to you?
As a starting point, hosting a FBN Networking Group will enable you to be seen as a go-to business owner in your local area!
It will raise the profile of your business locally, nationally and in the wider FBN community as well.
What's more, you’ll generate income as you will receive all revenue from your networking meetings - and maybe even gain new clients from the increased awareness of your and your business!
Find your tribe & help others find theirs too with supportive meetings & local business community
FBN meetings are friendly, about great conversations & building genuine relationships
Choose from a LOCAL or SELECT group
Local - small group, informal and conversational. Build your local community of female business owners.
Select - professional exclusivity networking group for your designated area. One per industry, spotlight sessions and more strategic thinking whilst supporting each other to grow.
