Are you a small business champion? Become an Enterprise Nation Local Leader

Being a business owner can be exciting. But it can also, at times, be lonely. Combined with the pressures of starting and growing a business, self-employed people often miss the social interaction and sense of community in the workplace.

Through local meet-ups, Enterprise Nation is on a mission to cure those entrepreneurship blues. Local meet-ups offer a relaxed, informal environment for small business owners to connect with fellow entrepreneurs in their area.

They provide a ready-made support network and an opportunity to collaborate, share ideas, discuss challenges and hold one another accountable. These events have provided a lifeline for many small business owners over the last few years.

Local meet-ups wouldn’t exist without our network of phenomenal Local Leaders. Small business owners in their own right, these amazing individuals have a commitment to their local community and are passionate about supporting small businesses in their regions.

We like to think of them as our 'eyes and ears', reporting back on the challenges faced by small businesses in their region.

We're currently seeking Local Leaders in the following regions:

• Derbyshire

• Berkshire

• Oxfordshire

• Hampshire

• Cheshire

• Herefordshire

• Peterborough

• Staffordshire

• Gloucestershire

• Swansea

• Wiltshire

Are you a small business champion?

• Would you like to host a supportive peer group in your area?

• Can you help to promote the support offered by Enterprise Nation and provide feedback on the sentiment of small business owners?

• Can you commit to hosting one online meet-up every month?

• Are you based in any of the locations listed above?

If so, we want to hear from you. As well as being able to support small businesses in your community, you’ll also benefit from increased visibility across the Enterprise Nation platform.
