BforB Networking Clubs

Why do we meet regularly?

Discipline starts when motivation ends.

Every time you turn up to your networking meeting, it's a promise to your business, and to yourself. Push through the awkward moments. Embrace the challenge. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to be consistent.
A stronger pitch. Better conversation skills. A sharper mindset. These are built by showing up, again and again that's where discipline actually begins. It's not about being obsessive. It's about being intentional.
Because your goal was never just filling a seat. It's chasing what you actually want, and enjoying the process, while consciously committing to the habits that build real success.

Mark your diaries. Start today. Check in at your local clubs www.bforb.co.uk

BY THE WAY… B4B isn’t just another networking group. It’s become part of my journey. ❤️

When I first walked through those doors, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Like many business owners, I was looking for opportunities. What I found was something far more valuable… people who genuinely want to see each other succeed.

The support I’ve received has been incredible. Whether it’s advice over a coffee, passing referrals, celebrating wins, or simply checking in to see how business is going, the people in B4B have always been there.

Running a business can sometimes feel lonely. There are good days, bad days, and days where you question everything. But being surrounded by local business owners who understand those challenges makes a massive difference.

For DBS Fire Ltd, B4B hasn’t just helped us grow our business—it has helped us build real friendships, trusted relationships, and become part of a community that truly believes in supporting local.

So if you’re thinking about networking, don’t just look for somewhere to hand out business cards.

Find a place where people genuinely care.

That’s what I’ve found with B4B.

A huge thank you to every single member for the encouragement, referrals, laughs, and support. You’re all helping build something much bigger than business.

BY THE WAY… if you own a local business and want to be part of an amazing community, come along and see what it’s all about. You might just find the support you’ve been looking for.

Hello everyone,

Did you know? A proposal for government to collect assumed debt direct from your bank account is being proposed.

What do you think?
Emails and links below. make your opinion matter.

🚨 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.
