A Little History
The Home Based Business Network of the Midlands was formed in July 2011 for the benefit of home-based business owners and independent operators. It is a group of people from around the Midlands who enjoy the freedom of working from home and for themselves. Our aim is to facilitate the opportunity for home-based businesses to come together, share ideas and knowledge, network, and inspire each other.


The home based business sector is one of the fastest growing industries and one of the most valuable in terms of contribution to the economy. Home based businesses cover a wide range of products and services, some of which are well known and recognized. We are interested in knowing you and learning about your business.

Whether you are just starting out or whether you have been in business for a while, you may find this network group to be of value. As a member, your input to the group is an important part of your membership and is essential to you gaining the most from us.

We always meet the last Monday of each month at DoubleTree on Bush River Road from 5:30-8:00 p.m.
