Launching a new business is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. There’s a lot to learn, countless decisions to make, and the pressure of finding your first customers. One of the smartest moves any new business owner can make is to build a strong local network early on – and for those in Leicestershire, Business Networking South Leicestershire (BNSL) is the perfect place to start.
What makes BNSL such a valuable first step? For a start, it is one of the most welcoming and cost-effective networking groups you’ll find. Unlike national organisations that charge high membership fees, BNSL operates as a non-profit group, run by the members for the members. There’s a simple one-off joining fee of £55, and after that, you only pay £55 per month, which covers your weekly breakfast. No hidden extras, no upsells, just straightforward value.
For new entrepreneurs, the benefits go far beyond affordability. The group brings together a diverse mix of local business owners, professionals and specialists who openly share advice, insights and support. Whether you’re looking for guidance on branding, finance, marketing, IT, compliance or growth strategy, someone in the room has been there before and is willing to help. It’s the kind of practical, real-world expertise that can save you time, money and mistakes in those crucial early months.
Another reason BNSL is ideal for new businesses is the sheer number of opportunities it creates. Members regularly refer work to each other, collaborate on projects and introduce newcomers to their wider networks. Many businesses in the group can trace a significant portion of their early success back to relationships formed at BNSL.
And because we understand that taking the first step can feel daunting, your first visit is just £15 – which is refunded in full when you decide to join. It’s the perfect low-risk way to discover what the group is all about and see how it can benefit your business from day one.
Starting a business is a journey, and you don’t have to take it alone. Join us at BNSL and tap into a community that wants to see you succeed.
