“As a relatively new member of Business First Network I am very glad to see their assistance has already made an impact on my business. I have made use of their brilliant legal forms and they have saved my company and myself close to £2,000. The results of having a Business First Network membership are clear. Do not hesitate to become a member; I am very glad I did.”

“I get a lot of benefit from the Business 2 Business information sent out on a weekly basis, especially the information on tenders. I had been put in touch with Queens University in Belfast through Business First Network and I completed a one-off cleaning job for them. On the back of this I was asked to attend a “Meet the Buyer” event in Belfast. At the event I met the man in charge of the actual maintenance contracts for Queens University, we had a chat and he asked me to submit a tender for the full cleaning contract for Queens University, this would be a substantial contract and would mean a great deal to my company. The only reason this happened is because I am a member of Business First Network.”

Kevin McMahon Owner, Group Cleaning Services

“Thank you Business First Network for a great legal advice service. At the start of Christmas weekend I needed quick access to an up to date Mutual Non Disclosure Agreement to engage a new client. The Business Law service, included in my membership, was instantly available, with easy to use online forms to tailor to my client specification, the process took less than 15 minutes. I would highly recommend this service to independent contractors and consultants who need instant access to high quality, professional contract documentation at a very affordable rate. Being a member of Business First Network has many benefits for my company and I am happy to recommend BFN to any business owner who sees the value in a strong support network.”

“We have been a member of Business First Network for a while and registered with their Free Auto- Enrolment solution.

Thank you Business First Network!”

“As the owner of a busy café in a popular local holiday destination, I have to employ part-time and casual staff. I used the Business First Network to get advice and assistance with employment law and paperwork. It was great to find out that Business First Network are also able to assist me in complying with the new pensions regulations and that when my staging date for Auto Enrolment comes, I will have all the necessary recommendations and duties completed and will have a suitable pension scheme in place to meet the needs of my business.”

Stephen Boyle, Owner, The Bay Cafe

“As a member of Business First Network I have been able to get assistance with my Auto Enrolment responsibilities. I am now registered with Business First Network’s Pension Provider and looking forward to a smooth and hassle free implementation of Auto Enrolment.”

“I had only joined Business First Network a matter of weeks when I found I had reason to use the legal helpline and document template. Unfortunately I needed to dismiss a member of staff and wanted to make sure I carried out the dismissal legally and in a professional manner. I also know that if the worst does happen I have the correct legal cover in place to help me. I am really happy with the support offered to me and am confident that I made the right decision in joining Business First Network and would recommend them to any of my business contacts.”

Dominic Turnbull, Natcon
