You know what it’s like at a normal business networking meeting?

Plenty of pinstripes, fake laughs, crap coffee, and awkward sales pitches given with an air of desperation?

We think it’s time for something different.

Imagine a community of business owners getting together to solve each other’s problems. Then, add a safe environment where everyone can simply be themselves, and you have YAB. Because that’s the problem when you’re a business owner. Who do you talk to about your problems?

Sure, your partner at home will listen and be supportive. Your friends will give you sympathy. But you’re the one who has to come up with the answers. That's where Your Affordable Board (YAB) comes in.

Because every problem in the room is solved by the room. And best of all, during that process, we form stronger bonds than we ever would in a sales-focused networking event. And the sales come naturally.

Intrigued?

Join us at our next live event and see firsthand why we are the fastest-growing business networking group that ISN’T really one! 

At the event, you’ll have the opportunity to get your business problems solved in our mini masterminds and experience the power of every mind in the room all working together to solve one major headache for just one lucky business owner.

You’ll also get plenty of time to meet other business owners and directors in the local area and who knows where those relationships might lead to!

Don't just take our word for it, take a look at what just a few of our members had to say about YAB:

  • When those closest to you see the difference in your behaviour and simply say “welcome back' - Saj Akbar
  • It’s a place that feels safe, a place that gives you a break from all the anxiety and stress that owning a business brings. Everyone in the room can resonate with you on a personal level, having so much diversity and skillset within the groups helps you overcome “ANY” problem you may have. It’s just powered by mates - how ace is that - Dave Liggins
  • Not sure you can put “I just bloody love it” so I’ll expand…I look forward to Yab, and I go to whichever extra Yabs I can get to.. because I know I’m going to come away feeling positive and clear-minded for my own business whether I’m the one being helped or if I’m helping others, as well as the feeling of belonging to a group of likeminded people I can share any news with and I’ll be supported! - Lucy Waide
  • As a business leader I love the fact that you can share fears and mistakes and the consequences are positive recommendations. Everyone’s success is our common goal - Pam Steed
  • YAB is a sandbox for us all as business leaders. It gives us a safe place to play, connect, try new things, feel supported and it’s soft if we fall over. It’s also the foundation of how business leaders will create community success in the 21st century. In decades to come, 2021 will be looked back on as the year YAB Made A Difference - Darren Neil

Oh, and did we mention that included in your small ticket investment of just £19 + Vat (which helps us cover the venue costs), you’ll get breakfast and unlimited juice, tea and coffee to keep you going!

Every board meeting is on a Friday, we always start at 9am for breakfast and relationship building, then we sit down at 9:30am to start and we end at noon. 

With limited capacity at the venue, you’ll want to secure your ticket early to avoid disappointment! 

Your Affordable Board, it’s the business community you’ve been looking for.

Your Affordable Board (YAB) is a:

  • Problem-solving forum for entrepreneurs
  • Community of business owners helping each other succeed
  • Platform for building profound business friendships

Your Affordable Board (YAB) isn’t a:

  • Normal networking event based on desperate selling
  • Chance to do a 45s pitch for your business
  • Caffeine-fuelled frenzy of business cards and pinstripe suits

YAB: Because together we have all the answers.
