Interest in forming an Entrepreneurs and/or Business Development Club

Several discussions with members involved in building their own businesses have led me to believe that there would be some interest in forming an Entrepreneurs and Business Development Club. In fact many of our members run their own one man businesses as practitioners/consultants so I would hope that many of them too will see benefits in forming/joining such a Club.

The way I see it is something like the following but hopefully I can add to this based on your ideas too:
- To help those who have just started or are about to, or even thinking about starting their own business in the sport/exercise/fitness sector
- To bring in experts/specialists in an online and hopefully at some point an offline (regional meetings?) basis to provide specialist advice eg. outsourcing, finance, accounting, legal issues (terms of business, contracts, agreements etc), sales lead development, marketing (especially digital marketing) etc. etc
- Use existing member expertise as well as external advisors to contribute to and/or assess business plans with a view to assisting further development
- To invite those with sources of finance - business angels, private investors, vc providers to network with members regarding funding
- To provide details of other networking opportunities for entrepreneurs, advisors and investors
- To create an online centre ie. the Entrepreneurs and Business Development Club (title's a bit long isn't it?) for sharing problems, sharing experiences and generally providing help to each other

If you are interested in being part of such a club as well as having additional ideas then post a comment below.
