Small business network

A small business network that actually helps

MasterMinds is a free online network for people who run or work in a business. Ask for a supplier, a contact or an answer, offer something you can spare, or talk a problem through with people who have already faced it.

No sales pitches, no follower counts, no endless feed. Just business owners helping each other get things done.

What you can do on MasterMinds

  • Ask for help: a reliable supplier, a recommendation, a contact, or an answer to a tricky question.
  • Offer something: a template, spare stock or equipment, meeting-room space, or an hour of your expertise.
  • Start a discussion: talk a problem through and add a quick poll to see what other businesses do.
  • Join communities for your industry, role or area, like Logistics, Hospitality or Founders & Owners.
  • Share wins on the Wins Wall, from a new client to a great month.

Why it is different from other networking

  • Free to join, with any email address: work email, Gmail or Outlook.
  • Your email is never shown publicly. Contact details are only swapped when one of you accepts an answer or an offer.
  • The person who asked marks the reply that solved it, so reputation comes from helping, not posting.
  • One email a week at most, on Monday mornings, and you can turn it off.
  • Swearing is blocked, photos are checked, and members can report anything that does not belong.

Who it is for

Sole traders, small teams and larger businesses, in any industry. Members join from Australia, New Zealand, the UK and elsewhere. Colleagues who sign up with the same work email domain join your business automatically.

Help with your marketing too
