Let us ask you this: how can we make you and your business better?

You run a business. You’re good at what you do, and that's a brilliant achievement in itself.
But let’s be honest—sometimes, running a business is exhausting. You’re juggling staff, chasing payments, managing marketing, sorting tax and trying to have a life somewhere in the middle of it all.
That’s where we come in. The Sussex Collective is not a suit-and-tie club. We’re not a policy group. We’re not another meeting with coffee and no clue.
We’re your support crew.
What is The Sussex Collective?
We're a down-to-earth membership club for local business owners across beautiful Sussex who want to get better at running their business - without wading through jargon or pretending to be someone they’re not. This is what we offer you:

Available to all of our members at every level, we're saying carpe diem! Seize the day with the power of our no nonsense networking, and make real and lasting connections in a supportive and fun environment.

For our silver and gold members, we've got a calendar of courses on a range of topics, from marketing more efficiently to being smarter with your finances. You can attend as little or as many as you like, whatever works for you.
Guides, templates and tips to help you tackle everyday challenges and grow with confidence. Whether you're grabbing five minutes between meetings or diving into a new project, it's all there - easy to access, easy to use, and designed with local businesses in mind.

Think of our personal coaching app as your pocket-sized business buddy! Always there when you need a bit of guidance, motivation, or fresh ideas.
Face-To-Face Training. Straight Talk. No Nonsense.
Our training is called “Does What It Says on the
Tin Training”— because it actually does.
No boring PowerPoints. No fancy theory. Just
real advice from people who get what it’s like
to run a small business.
For our Silver and Gold members, we've got a range of face-to-face courses lined up until 2027 and beyond for your needs: learn how to save thousands in tax bills, take part in our selling strategy techniques, market yourself as good as the likes of McDonald's, and many more with our expert mentors and speakers.
