70% of SME businesses are operated by just one business owner. Typically these owners are great at the product or service they offer but can lack the experience, knowledge & skills to be really successful in other critical disciplines and processes that ensure overall success. Our panel of key advisors are experts in their fields who can support our members in the 10 disciplines of business including legal, finance, marketing, HR and more. These experts will provide advice, education, resources, strategies and tactics to help small business owners feel supported and become even more successful.

Our vision is to have a small business community that is truly connected and can support each other. This community can help each other through the our Forum, sharing information, tactics & strategies that they have found successful for themselves and also offer guidance to questions, challenges and issues. We also offer the chance to share new customer opportunities across our membership not only to help drive leads but support our customers also. Our members can offer discounts to other members for themselves or their clients to offer greater support for each other.

We know that the most successful sports people have professional coaches that help guide and support them to become better each day in their pursuits. The value of a coach, is they have objectivity and expertise. They can guide you through challenges and mentor you for success. Having a full time “coach” can be expensive! Our members appreciate having mentors that are available as they need them. Within our Business HUB, mentoring represents a small part of our collective sharing of knowledge & experience in our community and also via our training portal, information sessions, webinars, tools & resources that we can provide to you.
