Business Club FAQ Answers 

£50 seems a very reasonable amount to charge for Business Club membership, why?
The Women's Business Clubs is dedicated to helping UK women in business, by allowing them to connect, promote, learn and ultimately grow.  Our strength is our members and the more members we have then the more we are able to help them to achieve their objectives, and so we have worked hard to keep our membership fees as low as possible, so that all women in business can join our community.


Can I put a link to The Women’s Business Clubs on my website?
Members have exclusive use of The Women's Business Clubs Member Logo which they can use on their site and link back to us, and also any stationery that they wish.


How can I help The Women’s Business Clubs grow?
Just tell any business woman that you know about us, and send them to our site!


Can Business Club and Business Builders attend Premier Club meetings?
Yes, you can attend two a year providing your business type is not represented by a current Premier Club member at that club.


Can I update my online profile on the TWBC website?
Yes you can log in and update it whenever you like, so you can use it to promote specific events or special offers if you wish.  Its like your own mini website!


Can I have articles and news published on your site?
Business Builders and Premier Members can have articles as well as news, events and any press releases published on this website, subject to our terms.  We try to include as many as possible in our eBulletin which is our e-newsletter which goes out each week to over 30,000 businesses.


How long does it take from when I apply, to seeing my profile live on the site?
Once we have accepted and confirmed your membership it usually takes up to 2 working days to see your profile live online, ready for you to edit and update.


Premier Club FAQs

Can any businesswoman come to a Premier Club?
Premier Club membership is for business founders, freelancers and employed women in a managerial or executive role within their company, who want to grow their business and their business knowledge.  Memberships are accepted from one representative of a businesses type (representing their main business activity) at each club which means that once you are a  member you effectively lock out your competitors from joining, so this means that we may have to decline some women from some clubs.  We also have certain business types that we will not accept into a Premier Club.


If I join a Premier Club, how often do I need to attend?
Our Premier Clubs are close knit communities of local entrepreneurs and business professionals who are making a commitment to each other when they join.  You will need to be represented at nine meetings in a year.  Six of these will need you personally present, however you are able to send a substitute to replace you for three meetings a year.  This means that you can give your apologies and be absent at three meetings in a year, and still retain your membership of your club and business exclusivity.


How much does it cost to join a Premier Club?
 
Premier Membership is £185.00 per year
There is a one off joining fee of £35.00
All prices are subject to VAT at the current rate


What else would I need to pay?
Each time you attend a Premier Club meeting you pay a meeting fee.  Prices vary at each club but all members receive a discounted rate.  Complimentary catering is provided.


What else do I get?
Our Premier members get masses of benefits and services worth almost £1000 a year.  Click here to read full details.


Can I come along as a guest before I join?
Absolutely, provided that your business type is not represented by a current member at your chosen Premier Club.  Just book yourself a place on this site.


Can I become a Premier Club member before I attend a meeting?
Maybe. Whilst a club is in pre-launch we take limited Premier Club Memberships in advance of the first meeting.  In some instances it is the only way to guarantee a membership place!  Some of our Premier Clubs are very happy to accept new members without them visiting first, but others insist that potential members visit as a guest before they become a member.  However if you were to join one of these clubs before you attend a meeting, then we would contact you when we get your application form and let you know.
