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)

BusComm is a great group of friendly business people offering a chance to expand your networking across different counties. You also benefit from a wealth of business knowledge which you can call upon to help with any issues you may need to overcome. Paul promotes your company as well as you as an individual within the group and externally. It's all automated and a no pressure approach.

Excellent networking group where I've met some really nice people. It has directly helped me grow my gym and I have numerous clients who go there. The group has the right balance between being friendly and actually help you grow your sales/business. I'd highly recommend going.

I enjoyed my first meeting at The Business Community. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Anyone new to networking would feel comfortable from the outset. The agenda was enjoyable, but business-like and informative. It was interesting to learn about all the other businesses around the table, and they showed a genuine interest in my business. What stood out for me was when we broke for a 10 minute 121 with another individual. That was a chance to establish a real connection with someone else in the room.

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.
