Free stuff
There are lots of free resources available for small businesses; particularly useful if you are in the early phases of developing your business. This page lists some of those resources - if you have something to add, just email us. It is worth pointing out, that nothing beats actually talking to anyone that provides these services - they will offer a more bespoke and relevant service than some of what is provided here:
Free Legal Documents (7 day trial)
Free Software (there maybe some restrictions on free versions)
None of the above items are endorsed by The Business Community so you use the facilities and resources at your own risk!
Since starting my business 18 months or so ago, I have gone from a networking novice to being a solid contributor through meeting and getting to know the wealth of business skills, knowledge and experience of Paul Green and the members of The Business Community. I mainly attend the Wellingborough session, but have plans to spread myself further afield in Northamptonshire during the rest of this year as membership allows this, unlike others.
The format of the meetings is fun, but has meaning ... and you can always be assured a friendly welcome (as I got recently when attending the Daventry session for the first time). I have made loads of good business contacts that I would have only made through The Business Community ... if you are starting or have recently started a business, book yourself on a session and find out for yourself ... breakfast is good too!

I started my own HR business about 5 years ago and have been a member of The Business Community for almost the same length of time. Not only have I gained business from networking with the group but I've also found like-minded and supportive business owners who are always willing to listen and offer their advice. It is great value for money and I'd highly recommend giving it a go.

I have been a member of The Business Community for several years. I love Paul’s groups, they have the right balance of social and business focus as well as providing opportunities to develop your skills. In addition, they play a major role in revenue generation for my business and I will remain a member for many years to come!
