The B&NES Entrepreneurs Club exists to nurture, support and promote the entrepreneurial spirit of existing and future small / micro businesses and start-ups within the business community of Bath and North East Somerset.

This initiative was founded by Small Business Focus and Bath and North East Somerset Council, along with strategic partners: City of Bath College, Job Centre Plus, Norton Radstock College, BNI, Re:Generate, The Federation of Small Businesses, The Volunteer Centre, Bath Spa University and The University of Bath.

Each partner has specific aims and objectives in supporting new and existing businesses, employers and employees in our region. The combined efforts on this initiative deliver a programme of events and support tools intended to be accessible, relaxed and complimentary to the individual activities of the strategic partners.

This is not a commercial operation- we do not seek profit. The initiative has been initially funded by a grant from Bath and North East Somerset Council, via an application to B&NES Policies and Partnerships Department, with one of the principle objectives being to make the launch programme of events free to enter and, therefore, more accessible to all .

The committee members of Small Business Focus have been supporters of Global Enterprise / Entrepreneurship Week, gaining badges of honour for high impact activities and this initiative has also been awarded High Impact Event status, of which we are extremely proud.
