WELCOME TO 'DO BUSINESS' NETWORK - THE BUSINESS NETWORK FOR SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE NORTH EAST

DO BUSINESS NETWORK | ABOUT DBN

'Do Business' Network (DBN) is a dynamic business network that gives hands-on, practical support to small businesses across the north east.

We run regular online networking meetings, give 1-1 business coaching, put our members in touch with each other and run online workshops and training sessions covering practical business issues such as selling online, visual marketing and building your business self-confidence - we even have a member podcast!

These are challenging times for small businesses in the North East of England but they also present great opportunities. Our aim is to help to build a thriving and informed business community by harnessing the skills and expertise of local business owners to provide business-to-business support and act as mentors. We’re delivering support to over 160 small businesses and we’d like to help yours too!

For full membership benefits please see our ‘Join DBN’ page.

At DBN we aim to make networking fun, effective and affordable. Over 90% of our members Do Business with other members.

DBN THE MOVIE

Although this was filmed before the Covid-19 crisis, the message remains as relevant now as it did when we filmed it. That setting up and running your small business can be a hugely rewarding experience and that small businesses deserve support because they make such a massive contribution to the local economy.
