Business Junction is London's leading independent business network, created and operated by business people for those who own, run, or work for, businesses.

Business Junction has over 400 company members, with all sizes, sectors and areas of business represented. We hold around 100 events per year across London, with the calendar comprising:

- a networking lunch each week, held in different areas and featuring events at some of the best restaurants, hotels and venues available

- a monthly networking breakfast

- six evening networking events

- Quarterly networking breakfasts and presentations for this involved with the Built Environment, as well as two evening networking events in summer and winter

- Other networking sector-specific events

- Special events, sponsored and organised in association with leading organisations with a specific business target audience

- Other specialised business, networking and information events

Business Junction's primary aim is to increase the trading opportunities for its members.  Business Junction facilitates and encourages close relationships between the members of its business community, where any business can be introduced to another potential supplier or purchaser through our network.

Our network is borderless, recognising no barriers, whether geographic, sector, size or age, colour or gender.

Our network is famously relaxed. Visitors are always struck by how friendly and supportive everyone is.

Our network is effective. All our members and event attendees are directors, senior managers or owner-entrepreneurs of some of London's best companies

Our network is for adults. We don't insist members attend any event. No pink slips. No speeches and ten-minute presentations, unless the event has a technical focus and is highlighted as such.

Our network is diverse. All our events are different. The mix of businesses and personalities is always different. We have some of London's most creative companies working with some of the capital's most respected and mature.

Our network is innovative. Member Alerts, online directory, the Leisure List, Leisure Map, London Property List, the London Business Survey. We are always thinking of new ways to promote our members and find new opportunities for them.

Our network is the only network that produces The London Business Directory

Our network just does that. Network.

Our network was founded seven years ago in Shoreditch. It is the most established independent business network in the capital and continues to grow and nurture its members.

Increasingly, Business Junction partners with organisations and companies wishing to build relationships with a specific business community, either by area or sector. These commissions can be on a consultancy basis or with specific deliverables on a project basis.

Examples of organisations which have commissioned or partnered with Business Junction include UKTI, Business Link, Knowledge Dock, Tower Hamlets College,  Enterprise - Way To Work, Shoreditch Trust, Creative Industries Development Agency, London Borough of Hackney Council and Prevista.

Event attendance and membership is open to all. Book an event near you and then let our members tell you about what they get out of Business Junction.
