Business Mentors Club is the result of an epiphany moment in early September 2009 when we realised that small business owners, directors and managers needed a place where they could meet up with other like minded business owners, directors and managers on a regular basis and attend relevant business events and seminars with their peers. The BMC Forums are an extension of these face-to-face meetings.

At Business Mentors Club you'll be able to get help and advice; as well as give help and advice, and share ideas with like-minded business owners, directors and managers dedicated to helping each other solve business problems.

With your help we have created a friendly, open and inclusive business arena focused on the many challenges facing owners and managers of small businesses and start-ups. With a wide range of forum topics BMC's members help each other find the advice and support they're looking for.

BMC has a team of moderators who watch over the forums and they will remove any undesirable content and help solve any problems or issues that you might encounter on the forum. Please help the moderators by reporting anything you read which you feel is suspicious or offensive.

We kindly ask all members of BMC to abide by the Forum Rules.

For a range of extra benefits to get the most out of BMC, you can upgrade to our Premium Membership. See table below for the key differences.

Multiple BMC accounts owned by the same person are not allowed. The moderators and administrators keep a watchful eye out for multiple registrations and any abuse of the rules will be noted and may result in a strike or ban.

As a Regular member of BMC you can ask questions, take part in discussions, and answer questions. You can also have a short signature appended to all your messages, but you will not be able to have any links in your signature.

Premium membership exists to give members a Private area for business discussions, access to the Private Forums, and also gives you extra exposure from the Member Classifieds and Business Showcase sections. Plus, you get generous discounts on both the meetings and events.

The table below explains the differences between Regular & Premium membership of BMC:
