Suppliers Support For Businesses

Solent Business Growth Network
In the current economic climate you may feel that the future is uncertain and there are very few opportunities. If you are thinking about starting your own business or already have one up and running there are lots of free websites and resources where you can get good advice and ideas. However it can be a minefield and you sometimes need to know the answer before you know what the question is. This can leave you feeling that you have to do all this on your own.

SBGN is a cluster of independent business owners who have come together to support the development of new start-ups and existing small businesses within the Solent Region in a completely different way.

The Business Collective

We are 2 businesses in 1 offering a fresh approach to ethical and socially responsible practice. Keeping it local is also a key principal of ours so we will be operating on a county-wide basis. We are starting in Hampshire so, currently, these services are only available to Hampshire based organisations. But don’t worry, we intend to extend into other counties very soon!

Firstly, we are a membership based organisation who, collectively with our members, want to make a difference! We want to share our time, knowledge and resources with likeminded people; people who, through their professional capacity, want to engage in ethical and socially responsible practices. People who want to connect others who share a common purpose and want to know that their endeavours make that difference.

Our Brokerage service is a not-for-profit organisation that will allow you to provide an ‘Offer’ to a fellow member and, in return make a ‘Request’ for something in return. All ‘Offers’ will be pooled and communicated via our website and you can either ‘Request’ something that is already there or stipulate what would be of greater benefit.Initially, our suggestion is one Offer/Request per year but we know that some members are keen to do more! If you feel so inclined, then please do – the only condition is that all new exchanges involve both an Offer and Request!
