Welcome to Algarve Business Network
The Algarve’s newest business networking group is here to help anyone who runs a business or is self employed in this beautiful part of Portugal. We are based at the IECA Church in Vale Judeu and meet here each month.
Who we are
Algarve Business Network is a group of mainly Christian business owners and self-employed people who come together to help each other meet the challenges of business life.
Starting and running a business is always challenging, especially in a foreign country. A mutually supportive network of like-minded people is a great way to address those challenges and increase everyone’s chances of sustainable success.
Who We Serve
We’re an international community of people who live in the Algarve while running a business somewhere in the world or being self-employed. We are here for you if you fit any of these categories:
- You live here while running a business in another country such as the UK or South Africa
- You already run a business here or a planning to launch a business in Portugal
- You work as a self-employed consultant, contractor or digital nomad
- You are a Non-Executive director of one or more companies
- You are a retired business owner willing to share your knowledge and experience with others
What We Do
We aim to help each other in (at least) three ways:
Prayer
Moral Support
Practical Support
How We Operate
We meet face to face once a month on a Monday evening in the café of IECA Church in Vale Judeu. In between times, we communicate through a WhatsApp group and by email.
There are no fees to join Algarve Business Network – you just need to be in the Algarve and either run a business somewhere in the world or be self-employed.
Our more experienced members will be willing to provide coaching and mentoring to those who request it and we can also pair up in a Buddying system so you have a go-to person for any issues that arise between meeting.
We may offer Mastermind sessions where we focus on one member business and go deep on the challenges and opportunities they face and how best to address them.
How To Join
Just fill in this form to tell us who you are and what you do.
Then join us for our next meeting at 7:00 pm on Monday 25th November in the café at IECA, Rua da Varzia da Mao, Vale Judeu, 8100-300, Loule
