About Us

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

The FBC Story

  • For over 10 years our founders worked with local small businesses helping them grow and think strategically. We are also advocates and active members of local business chambers and networking groups.
  • Two common problems were persistently voiced by our clients and peers:
  • 1. There’s so much noise and information it’s impossible to easily find the right tools and services for the right jobs and the right time for me as a business customer,
  • 2. As businesses, we waste too much time quoting on jobs we don’t really want, because the referrals and enquiries we get are not from our ideal market, and we struggle to cut through the noise to our target customers.
  • The FBC team started looking for a way to solve this problem, but nothing really existed that could genuinely help small businesses.
  • So The Foundational Business Centre was born and continues to evolve day.

About the Foundational Business Centre

Imagine online dating for businesses. These types of services use lots of information about you as a person to match you with other people who are compatible in lots of different ways. That’s the smarts we’ve used to create a platform that allows you to and you ideal business service providers and customers to find each other and avoid hours of searching through Google or phone calls to determine if that other business is actually the right fit for you needs. Time is money and you don’t have time to waste.

Time is money and you don’t have time to waste.

At the FBC we take quality seriously – we want this to be a place where businesses of high integrity and quality do business with other businesses of a similar ethos, that’s why we have the FBC rating system which allows you to rate your experience of other businesses – but you can only rate someone if you’re a subscribed user, because anonymous reviews aren’t helpful.

The Foundational Business Centre is a low touch model, which means we report on everything, and offer you assistance along the way if we can see or you let us know that you need help to ensure that you get the most out of the FBC.

Continuous development – The FBC isn’t a set and forget platform we will keep develop new and valuable tool and functions and make these available to you as subscribers to help you grow. If you’ve got a great idea which you want to share with us, we want to hear about it!

The FBC is about People

The businesses that use the FBC are people first, and we want see more businesses and business owners thrive, rather than survive.

We’re not another networking group

We work with other Networking groups and conference organisations because they are important connection points in their business communities. We love collaboration, and we encourage all businesses to focus on what they are good at. Networking groups provide great face to face networking events, delivering training, workshops, and advocacy for their members, and we are happy to be alliance partners that provide their members with the other things that the networking groups can’t do and their members need.
