JOIN OUR COLLECTIVE

Work For Yourself,
Not By Yourself

If you’re looking for a business community who supports and cheerleads you, always in a relaxed and friendly environment then our collective is here for you!

Chiltern Biz is good for the soul – I use it to help me as a business person rather than for my business – i.e., it’s not necessarily a way of getting clients for me, but does ME so much good – a wonderful group of people to be around and share highs and lows with.

Chiltern Biz has literally changed my life. I’ve made so many incredible connections and new friends, plus expanded my business thanks to the support from other biz owners. Come and join us!

Support for You

You started your own business to be in charge – to make the decisions, follow your ideas, and shape your own path.
What no one tells you is that being your own boss can sometimes feel lonely and overwhelming. There’s no team to brainstorm with, no one to share the load, and no one to celebrate the wins with.

That’s where Chiltern Biz Collective comes in.

Our Member Community

A safe, welcoming space where you can share the ups and downs of running a small business.
When you join our community, you’re joining a group of local business owners and freelancers who get it – people who understand what it’s like and may just become your biggest cheerleaders (and new best friends).

In-Person Connections

AWe believe nothing replaces the energy of real, face-to-face connection.
That’s why we host regular netwalks, networking events, and co-working days — opportunities to connect, collaborate and recharge with people who understand the journey.

Supporting Your Version of Success

Success looks different for everyone. We’re not here for the “six-figure hustle” – hustle” narrative — we’re here to support you in building a business and a life that work for you. Whatever your goals, we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

It’s A Vibe

Our members often say the best thing about Chiltern Biz is the feeling — the positivity, the encouragement, and the genuine support.
It’s about knowing you’ve got a community behind you that has your back, celebrates your wins, and lifts you up when things get tough.
Because being in business for yourself doesn’t have to mean being by yourself.

Our community gets “it” because we’re all doing it too.

Promoting Your Business

We love shouting about our members!

At Chiltern Biz Collective, we love to shop local and we’re passionate about showcasing the amazing businesses within our community.

Feature On Our Website

From member spotlights and blog features to our online directory, it’s your opportunity to raise your profile and attract new clients who love to buy local.

Your Cheerleader

We don’t just talk about supporting local – we live it!
From sharing your wins on social media to recommending your services and championing your work in our community, we’re here to help you grow your visibility and feel proud of what you’re building.

Community over Competition

We cheer each other on, regardless of how our businesses may interact together, and will always seek collaboration over competition. We welcome businesses of any type.

It’s a great group of very different, knowledgeable and amazing local business owners who are very friendly and welcoming. Join now to be part of this great community!

I’ve been a member of the Chiltern Biz collective for about the last year, and it is one of the most welcoming and supportive local networking groups I’ve come across. There is a great mix of businesses, and it’s such a friendly group – with a real emphasis on building relationships. I’ve made some great connections, and I always come away having enjoyed the meet ups, feeling inspired and uplifted. I’d highly recommend coming along to an event to see what it’s all about.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Collective

What areas do you cover?

We cover The Chilterns area of Herts, Beds, Bucks and Oxfordshire; this includes any business that serve these areas even if you aren’t located within it.
The majority of our current members are based in and around Tring, Berkhamsted and Aston Clinton.

Can I change my membership level later?

Yes, you can upgrade or downgrade your membership at any time.

Can I get a refund?

Due to the nature of the membership and immediate access to all benefits we are unable to offer refunds, however you may cancel at anytime.

Can I cancel?

Yes, you can cancel anytime. Your membership will finish at the end of your payment period.

Does joining mean you’ll post anything we ask you to?

We curate our own social media feeds and try to ensure there is a variety of content to engage our audience. We will support you with your social media posts by engaging with them, and if you’ve got something big happening make sure you let us know so we can help promote! We may from time to time select content from our members to share on our feed but this at our own discretion.

Does joining the membership guarantee new business?

Unfortunately no it doesn’t. We do our best to promote #ShopLocal and our members through our content (social media, blog and mailings) but it depends what our followers are looking for who will view your listing.

Our primary focus is about connecting you with other local businesses to provide a support network and community; sales may naturally come from this but are not guaranteed.

Do you allow business of the same time type to join?

Yes. Our focus is on collaboration and support, rather than competition. So we welcome all businesses of any type.

Do I have to be a member to attend your events?

No, many of our events are open to everyone! Some events are for members only and/or additional charges may apply for non-members.

Can I publish a guest blog on your site?

Our blog is reserved for our members only. We curate many of our own blogs and will from time to time select non members news to include, but purely at our own discretion.
