Why is networking so important for small businesses?
Because connections = growth.

At Somerville Business Collective, we do networking differently. We are not a formal networking group with rigid structures or point systems. We’re a genuine community of local business owners building real relationships. No forced referrals. Just authentic connections, real friendships, and people who truly want to see each other grow.

Here’s how building a strong network can be a total game-changer:
1. Opportunities Everywhere
New partnerships, fresh ideas, unexpected collaborations—networking opens doors you didn’t even know existed.

2. Learn from Others
When you connect with fellow business owners, you tap into a goldmine of experience, advice, and real-world insights.

3. Boost Your Visibility
Showing up at local events and getting involved in the community helps more people hear about your business.

4. Find Your People
Running a business can be lonely. A solid network gives you support, motivation, and the occasional pep talk when you need it most.

5. Referrals & Leads
A good word from the right person can lead to your next sale. Networking grows your reach organically.

Hey, I’m Alicia, the face behind Admin by Alicia.

I’m a Virtual Assistant & Social Media Manager.

I started Admin by Alicia so I could work from home and support my family, and somehow it turned into a fully booked business supporting lots of amazing small businesses with their socials, admin and digital chaos!

What I actually do:
✔️Social media management
✔️Content & Canva graphics
✔️Admin support for busy business owners
✔️Helping you look way more professional online than you feel behind the scenes

If you’re new here, welcome!
If you’ve been here a while, thanks for sticking around.

Tell me in the comments: what do you run your business on? Coffee? Chaos? Both? 😂

1 year birthday today 🎉🎉🎉

I can’t believe it’s been a whole year already! 🫣

What started as a dream has grown into something I’m incredibly proud of. A space where I get to help people feel more confident in their skin through tattoo removal, skin treatments, and pigment correction.

A year ago, I never could have imagined just how much I would love what I do.

I genuinely get excited to come to work every day, and I feel so grateful to have found something I’m truly passionate about.

What means the most to me is not only helping clients achieve amazing results, but supporting them through the journey as well.

Tattoo removal, in particular, can be such an emotional process, and being trusted to be part of that is something I never take for granted.

To every client who has walked through my doors this past year—thank you ❤️

Your trust, support, and loyalty have meant more than words can say. I’m so proud of what I’ve built, and even more excited for what’s ahead.

Here’s to Year 2 🌟
