Consistency is one of the most important factors in successful networking. That’s why SBC includes free, unlimited access to our weekly online networking meetings as part of your membership.
These sessions give you a regular opportunity to stay visible, even when attending in person isn’t possible. Whether you’re working remotely, managing a busy schedule, or simply looking to increase your networking activity, these online meetings ensure you always have a way to stay engaged.

2. Discounted In-Person Networking Meetings
Build Stronger Relationships Face-to-Face
While online networking is valuable, face-to-face interaction remains one of the most powerful ways to build trust.
As an SBC member, you benefit from discounted rates at all in-person meetings, making it more accessible to attend regularly. Meetings are priced at £16 / £20 for members and first-time visitors, while ongoing visitors pay a higher rate — ensuring members receive ongoing value.
Importantly, we never restrict attendance. You’re free to continue attending as often as you like, but membership ensures you consistently benefit from the best pricing.
Face-to-face meetings allow for deeper conversations, stronger connections, and more meaningful engagement.
In summary: You gain affordable access to powerful in-person networking that strengthens relationships and builds trust.
3. WhatsApp Community for Ongoing Networking
Keep Conversations Going Every Day
Networking shouldn’t stop when the meeting ends — and at SBC, it doesn’t.
Our WhatsApp Community keeps members connected throughout the week, creating a space for ongoing interaction. It’s where conversations continue, opportunities are shared, and support is always available.
Members use this space to ask questions, request referrals, share insights, and promote opportunities in a supportive environment. It becomes a daily touchpoint that keeps you actively engaged with your network.
This continuous connection helps reinforce relationships and ensures you remain visible between meetings.
In summary: The WhatsApp community keeps your networking active, supportive, and ongoing every single day.
4. Your Business Featured on the SBC Website
Boost Your Online Presence and Visibility
Visibility isn’t just about being seen in meetings — it’s also about being found online.
As a member, your business is listed on the Simply Business Club website, complete with links to your website and social media platforms. This provides valuable exposure and helps strengthen your online presence.
Being featured on a trusted networking platform also enhances credibility. It allows other members and visitors to easily find and connect with you after meetings.
Additionally, these links can support your SEO efforts, helping improve your online visibility over time.
In summary: Your business gains ongoing online exposure and credibility through the SBC website.
5. Daily Member Spotlight on Social Media
Stay Visible Without Doing the Work Yourself
Consistency on social media can be challenging — but as an SBC member, you benefit from regular promotion without needing to manage it yourself.
We highlight one member per day across our social platforms, giving your business consistent exposure to a wider audience.
This daily spotlight helps reinforce your visibility, build awareness, and position your business in front of new audiences. It also supports your brand by associating it with an active and supportive business community.
Over time, this regular exposure helps people become more familiar with what you do.
In summary: You receive ongoing social media promotion that keeps your business visible and front of mind.
