BUSINESS NETWORKING DURING
B
usiness networking is the process of establishing a mutually beneficial relationship with other business people and potential clients or customers. Business networking benefits are the intangible gains made by communicating with other professionals in or relating to your industry. It became very hard to network during the beginning of Covid-19 because of
COVID-19
social distancing rules. That’s when I thought of bringing a group of business owners together online to support each other emotionally, financially and for knowledge transfer. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF BUSINESS NETWORKING? Business networking might allow you to create awareness of or keep abreast of the latest business trends or technology
in your industry. A network can also provide you with professional mentors or contacts who might be able to assist you with problems you might need help with. For example, if your business needs the services of a bookkeeper, accountant, or lawyer you may find the ideal candidate through your network. If your business needs equity financing you may be able to find an angel investor or venture capitalist through networking channels.
