Business Networking in Bath

It's not just what you know it's who you know in Bath and the surrounding areas

Get to know successful Bath business owners and get ahead in your business.

Business can be tough, especially recently with the credit crunch and the recession, but at The Bath Business Club 80% of TBBC members earned between £1,200 and £35,000 from referrals from other members in the last 12 months. In fact the average return on investment was 693%!

Impressive figures and here is why. At the Bath Business Club you get a chance to meet the right people at the right time to give you help in three vital areas.

Marketing & Promotion

• The best advertising is always word-of-mouth, but meeting lots of people is not easy. However if you get to know a few people very well who themselves have contacts who could use your services, you don’t need to meet lots of people.

• Membership of The Bath Business Club enables you to build strong relationships with a team of like-minded professionals. Once we trust you, and understand what you offer, we can refer you to our relevant contacts. They trust us therefore they will trust you.

Expertise & Advice

• Joining The Bath Business Club is like becoming part of a virtual company. You get the chance to build solid relationships with a wide range of experts. You can trust us to do a great job for you because all of us are eager to build a good reputation with fellow members.

• Members share their expertise and sometimes work on joint projects. Regular attendance at meetings is an excellent way to extend your knowledge and pick the brains of experts.

Support & Encouragement

• Churchill said, “success only comes to those who go from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm”. Success all on your own is impossible – when you run your own business you need positive input from as many sources as possible.

• By joining The Bath Business Club you surround yourself with like-minded people. We can not only bring you referrals that lead to real business but also regularly top up your enthusiasm.

How is The Bath Business Club different?

• We've evolved an approach that we know local people are comfortable with. You'll find our meetings structured, but also relaxed, informal and fun. We provide a welcoming and supportive environment in which to build relationships - not somewhere where you just swap handfuls of business cards with people you'll never see again.

• Unlike some organisations, there's no full on pressure to get provide referrals every week - naturally we keep score, but there's no ritual humiliation. We know that one good referral is worth a hundred poor ones and that's what we all prefer - good sound business. We're independent, so we can add more value to your business . We're not part of a large organisation, so we can keep the fees reasonable. We use them exclusively for the members' benefit.

• We meet weekly for breakfast but it doesn't stop there, we arrange local training, seminars and social events, so that members can, if they wish, get a great deal more benefit than being part of a national organisation.

• We're run by the members, for the members. Sure we have a charter which is very clear on what we all expect, but we all respect the fact that every member is an independent individual at a very senior level. If you don't like independence then we are wrong for you.
