Why BNSL Membership Makes Sense — A Friendly Local Networking Community
There are many business networking groups across Leicestershire, and they all offer something slightly different. However, some of the larger, more well-known networking organisations can feel formal, high-pressure and expensive.
Business Networking Leicestershire (BNSL) provides an alternative approach — one that is affordable, supportive and genuinely community-focused.
Cost Matters — and BNSL Is Significantly More Affordable
Unlike other popular networking groups that may have:
- High annual membership fees
- Expensive weekly breakfast or meeting charges
- Additional training and joining fees
BNSL keeps things simple, transparent and cost-effective. There are no hidden extras and no requirements to pay for additional sessions or materials. The cost is just £55 per month*, no joining fees! (*which includes all meeting costs and breakfast)
This makes BNSL especially suitable for small and growing businesses who want to build connections without taking on unnecessary costs.
No Pressure, No Quotas, No Hard Selling
Many networking organisations expect members to bring referrals every week or work to strict participation targets.
At BNSL, we do things differently:
- No referral quotas
- No attendance penalties
- No hard selling
Referrals happen naturally when trust has been built — not because they are forced.
Friendly, Relaxed and Supportive
Our meetings are structured enough to be purposeful, but always warm and welcoming. Members support one another with advice, shared experience and genuine encouragement.
We believe networking should feel enjoyable — not like another business task or sales pitch.
Exclusivity That Works for You
BNSL operates a one-member-per-profession policy. This means:
- No competition within the group
- You can confidently present your services
- You become the go-to specialist in your field within the network
This ensures every member has the space and respect to clearly represent their business.
Grow Your Business Through Real Relationships
Our members regularly form:
- Long-term client relationships
- Strategic partnerships
- Reliable supplier links
- Valued friendships
BNSL is about trust, understanding and community — not transactional networking.
