BforB Brunch Networking in Bolton

14/09/2026

We've had the phones busy this week reaching out to Bolton business owners — if you've had a call from us, hello 👋 (and if you haven't yet, you might do soon!).

Here's what it's actually about: a room full of local business owners who meet fortnightly to pass each other referrals — real introductions, not just contacts swapped over coffee.

Next session: Tuesday 22nd September. Book yourself in as a guest here: https://bit.ly/Book-BforB-Bolton-Tuesday-Brunch

No pressure, no obligation — just come and see if it's for you.

On Tuesday at BforB, something special happened.

One of our members brought her primary‑school‑aged daughter along to the meeting with the schools being closed.

Later that afternoon — after sitting in the room, listening, watching, absorbing — she went home and launched her own business - page on mummies website - prices made, packages built:

A tutoring service.
Chemistry. PE. Handwriting. Science. Maths. English. Geography.
All mapped out. All self‑driven. All inspired by being in the right room.

That’s the power of BforB.
When you surround yourself with entrepreneurs, you think differently… and so do your kids.

And if you’re in Bolton, we’re back on Tuesday.
Don’t let childcare stop you from running your business — bring them.

You never know what spark it might ignite.

Join us.

Be in the room where entrepreneurship is contagious.

BforB Bolton continues to demonstrate the power of structured networking.

A relationship built through multiple touchpoints led to instant collaboration and fast resolution for a member.

This is what happens when a group prioritises facilitation over complacency.

🚨 HAVE YOUR SAY BEFORE THIS BECOMES LAW 🚨

HMRC has launched a consultation that could give it **new powers to recover lower-value tax debts directly from bank accounts through instalment deductions** for people and businesses who have repeatedly failed to engage with them. The Government says the aim is to tackle unpaid tax more effectively, while including safeguards to ensure the powers are used fairly. 📑

Whether you agree with the proposal or have concerns about how it could work in practice, **this is exactly why consultations exist.**

As accountants, we've seen first-hand that tax debts aren't always caused by people refusing to pay. Mistakes happen. Cash flow problems happen. Mental health struggles happen. Small businesses already face enough challenges without the worry of additional enforcement powers.

If you think these proposals deserve closer scrutiny, don't just complain about them after the fact...

**Take 5 minutes and submit your views to HMRC while you still can.**

Every response counts. Whether you're a business owner, accountant, freelancer or taxpayer, this is your opportunity to influence the final legislation.

Read the consultation here:

Share this post with other business owners and encourage them to respond too.

Your voice matters. Use it.
