A network which is friendly, welcoming, where business gets done, which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and won’t drown you in rules and regulations.

Business Matters Networking are groups which meet once a fortnight in Whetstone, Nth London. A network which is friendly, welcoming, where business gets done, which doesn’t cost an arm and a leg and won’t drown you in rules and regulations.

We currently have 2 groups meeting on alternate Tuesday mornings at Carpe Diem Cafe on Whetstone High Rd, from 7am to 9am and includes breakfast and tea /coffee.

There are many networking groups but members do not always like, or need, the structure that is often in place.

Of course some elements of a networking meeting should not be altered so we have mixed the old with the new. Referral sessions are things of the past and members are expected to do business with each other as and when they can.

Too many networking organisations put pressure on their members to produce referrals each week, bring new guests each week etc. Take away that pressure and business referrals just seem to happen and if the group is working then people will want to attend and introduce potential new members.

The meetings should not just be about generating referrals but be about building long term relationships with other businesses that will still be working in years to come. The old phrase of “it’s not what you know but who you know” is very true of a good networking organisation.

But don’t take our word for it – come along to a meeting and see for yourself!
