A Small Business Social Network?

The best way to grow your business is through referrals. 65% of the business you get comes through referrals.

The problem is, most small business owners are working full time. That doesn't leave much time to build a network with other small businesses around your area.



I want to build a social network for small businesses to connect with each other and help promote referrals, which means more business for you and the businesses around you.



Think of this site as a dating website for businesses.



When you sign up you create a profile detailing your business and the kinds of other businesses you might be interested in working with to build referrals that lead to sales.



Based on your postcode, business type and other businesses that you're interested in, we provide business contacts you might be interested in connecting with.



Sounds similar to a lot of dating sites hey?

People contacting people looking for the same thing.



This is where it's up to you guys to make what you want of it.

You could chat online using our mail system.

You can meet in real life and just discuss how your business is going. Maybe bounce some new ideas around.



At the end of it all you can build a good connection with another local business that you have confidence in referring your existing customers to if the opportunity arises.



All of this is reflected back online as written referrals displayed on your business profile page. More positive referrals mean other businesses want to engage with you and you get even more business!



What do you guys think? Is this something you'd use? Something you'd pay for?

What do you like? What do you think I should change?
