A place for Leaders who want to grow their business and make the world a better place.

Waitlist open for Cohort Two. Launching September 2021.

Are you a business owner with an ethical, purpose-driven or sustainable business?

Do you crave the company of like-minded business people to support you, lift you, elevate you and help you to break those ceilings?

Then the Better Business Network is for you.

Born from a desire to help changemakers avoid burnout while also pushing forward and achieving success, The Better Business Network is a unique community. 

It’s the only purpose-lead business community that is focussed on getting you to where you need to be. We do that through community, accountability, goal setting, training and the most important thing… weekly wellbeing sessions! 

This is for you if:

• You’re a founder, business owner or entrepreneur
• You want to change the face of business for the better
• You’re crying out to make a positive impact
• You’re ready to share ideas, collaborate and create systematic change
• You’re looking to surround yourself with business owners that will elevate you
• You struggle to prioritise and balance work and wellbeing
• You want to help others to reach their full business potential

This is not for you if:

• You’re solely focussed on profit and don’t have sustainability and ethics at the core of your business
• You’re not ready to take your business to the next level
• You don’t have time to contribute and attend networking 
• You’re not ready to do the work in your business to grow and break through
• You’re doing your business on the side while still working full time

If this is you, join the waitlist now. 

Doors will open on 22nd August but you will be given early bird access from 19th to secure your spot. 

Check out our FAQ’s at the bottom of this page where we have answered some of the questions other Business Owners have asked us before they joined the network.

MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

weeklu Why do I need to apply?

We want to make sure that you’re ready for what the network has to offer and that you are a ethical business with a real drive for change and impact. It’s important that we get the mix right for all the members.

How much time do I need to contribute?

You get out of the network what you put in so it’s important to contribute to the conversation, support and help your fellow members. We hold bi-weekly Monday Club speed networking sessions, which you don’t have to attend all of them but once a month would be great! If you opt for the membership tier with an accountability group, these are held once a month and again the more you can attend the better for you and your team. Workshops and wellbeing sessions are of course optional and most are recorded. 

How do I access all the resources and recorded sessions?

You will be given access to a members portal alongside a Slack group where you will be able to access all the free resources, workshop recordings, and chat to your fellow members.

What is an accountability group and what’s involved?

An accountability group is a small group between 4 and 8 business owners. You discuss your goals for the month ahead, your wins from the last month, what challenges you are facing and what you need support with. The group all contributes to give advice and support.

How big are the accountability groups?

No bigger than 8 members.

Is there a free or cheaper option?

£45+VAT is the cheapest option which gives you access to the private Slack Channel, members area, weekly newsletter, fortnightly workshops including quarterly goal setting workshops, wellbeing sessions and speed networking. We also have fully funded scholarships for business owners that can’t afford the network yet. These are provided on a case by case basis. Sign up to the waitlist for more information. 

You also get to invite one guest per month to the speed networking and have nomination and voting rights for the Impact Fund and other government campaigns.

What is the Impact Fund?

The Impact Fund is our way to give back to the community. We are partnered with 1% For The Planet and we give a percentage of your membership fee to an Impact Fund, each month we all choose one charity to give that money to. 

I’m already a member of (Chamber of Commerce / FSB / IOD). What makes the Better Business Network worth it? 

We offer you a support network that is there for you everyday via our Slack channel. You have the option to upgrade to an accountability group, which will place you in a small group who are there to support and push you to reach your potential and help you through the tough times. 

This is the next generation of business network, which actively works to make sure you get your return on investment in your membership costs.

We don’t expect you to pay a year up front (unless you want to!) because we know you need to manage your cash flow. 

Most importantly our focus is helping you to establish foundational support in your business and network to help it be a sustainable, resilient company, while helping you look after your mental health and wellbeing.

You have agency on how your fees are spent and we offer a full money back guarantee if you feel we are not the right fit for you.

How is my membership fee spent? 

Currently the lowest membership fee is £45+VATpm. We keep all spending totally transparent. We share the income and spend of the Better Business Network in a quarterly report, including what was spent on operations, marketing and to our partners.

Members then collectively vote on what the membership fees are spent on – including the donation we give to high-impact non-profits and money for training and development programmes.

What is the schedule for sessions? 

Monday Club is fortnightly on a Monday at 2pm.

Wednesday Wellness Reset sessions are weekly at 9.30am

Workshops are fortnightly on a Thursday at 2pm

Accountability groups meet on the first Monday of the month at 9.30am
