The benefits to your business – and the profits – are very real! Costs are very low, the atmosphere is relaxed, informal and highly conducive to good business.
How to join one of our business networking groups in Hampshire or West Sussex.
Only one member of any business or profession is represented at each group of The Business Interchange. To find out if your competition has joined before you, take a look at our Member's Directory on each of the individual group websites. If your business/profession is not listed, membership is simple.
We recommend that you first visit one or two of our business networking meetings to see the number of business referrals and leads we pass each other every week.
- The Arundel Group meet every Friday at the Comfort Inn, Arundel, West Sussex from 7am to 8.30am.
- The Bognor Group meets every Wednesday at the Royal Hotel at 7.15am to 8.45am.
- The Chichester Group meet every Thursday at the Pallant House Gallery Restaurant, East Pallant, Chichester, West Sussex from 7.15am to 8.45am.
- The Portsmouth Group meet every Wednesday at the Innlodge, Burrfields Road, Portsmouth from 7am to 8.45am.
Following two visits, you may then apply for membership. There is a one off registration fee of £25.00 and an annual membership fee of £30, plus a fee each week for breakfast.
Your responsibility to The Business Interchange is to:
- Provide quality products and service.
- Be truthful to the members.
- Be responsible for following up leads.
- Build trust and goodwill with other members.
- Provide genuine and quality leads and referrals.
As a group, we create business opportunities for each other through the exchange of Leads and Referrals. Both provide an opportunity for you to talk to someone who is interested in the products and services your business offers.
Make it work for you.
