SMBA

Business Support and Networking
for businesses in Altrincham

Independent
Not for profit
Honest and ethical

SMBA has been passing £250,000 of business
between its members each year
for the last 7 years
– isn’t it time your Altrincham business joined in?

What sets SMBA apart?

As an independent, self regulating business support and networking group, all our funds help SMBA members.

• We check references for every business joining SMBA, and pride ourselves on the honesty and fairness of our approach
• All business and meetings are conducted in a professional manner, and we strive to build goodwill and trust between members
• Only one business of each type can become a member of SMBA

Is it time your Altrincham business
represented your trade or profession at SMBA?

When do we meet?

Every Wednesday between 7am and 8:30am
at The Bowdon Hotel in Altrincham.

What happens at meetings?

As well as enjoying a three course breakfast:

• every attendee has a one minute presentation slot to explain what they do, and what business they are looking for
• One member will have a ten minute slot to talk about their business in more detail
• Each attendee also has the opportunity to pass sales leads, testimonials or comments to other businesses within the group

How much does it cost?

Business Support and Networking from SMBA is not about making profits for SMBA, it is about generating sales and profits for its members.

• An annual membership fee of £100 provides stationery, the website, and other fees incurred in running the group.
• There is also a one off £50 joining fee.
• £32 a month covers breakfast and room hire

Any remaining funds are used at the discretion of the committee, but remember, we are a not for profit organisation.

A small cost to your Altrincham business
– with potential huge benefits.

Beyond Business Support and Networking?

SMBA organises a number of social get togethers including ‘wining and dining’ where we have fun.
