Small Business Associations In Perth

Some worthwhile networking groups and associations in Perth which are checking out if you aim to grow your business influence through personal contacts, referrals and recommendation:

By reputation from those who have joined up and attended, the Local Chambers of Commerce is well worth a look, with regular networking events which are well-attended. http://www.localchambers.com/default.aspx

The Chamber of Commerce in Perth has a reasonably priced subscription to their Small Business network, with access to the wider CCI service offerings as well as dedicated networking and events aimed at small businesses. http://www.cciwa.com/SEN/About_Small_Enterprise_Network.aspx

Not everyone's cup of tea, but if you are looking for a more structured and controlled networking process, BNI may suit you. Breakfast gatherings are generally well-attended and enthusiastic, although the numbers very much depend on the particular club's location. Smaller, newer clubs can offer greater exposure for you, especially if you accept an organising role.

Breakfast Clubs:

LinkedIn Group Networking The “Networking Perth- Growing your Business” organised by the energetic Peter Taliangis. The group has networking gatherings over breakfast in a local restaurant in Applecross (every first and third Friday of the month) which are always well-attended. Members can attend as little or as many events as they wish with no membership fees, just paying the restaurant for breakfast.
