Business networking for small business owners Running a small business can be lonely, so let’s take you away from your desk and connect you with like-minded business owners to grow your network. You need resilience as a business owner; there are so many spinning plates to manage: time, money, resources, and, of course, finding customers. Our community is here to listen, help and support. About your host From starting a business in the Netherlands as an expat back in 2019, it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners who were going through the same challenges. Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network? Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and have opened up many opportunities. I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
