Business Basket FAQ
About Business Basket
Business Basket is a private and exclusive networking group. For the past 10 years, we’ve operated on an invitation-only basis, becoming the go-to community for top professionals who value close-knit business relationships. We are dedicated to forging meaningful connections and fostering impactful collaborations.
We focus on focus on positivity, trust, and meaningful collaboration. We are committed to building meaningful connections and nurturing impactful collaborations. Unlike others, we operate more like a close-knit family, where members genuinely support each other. Even during the covid pandemic period with no physical meetings, our WhatsApp group remained active, with members continuing to collaborate and assist one another. We created this community not for profit; there are no membership fees involved.
We don’t restrict industries at the moment because our main focus isn’t on selling or hard selling. It’s primarily about collaboration and leveraging. We might be a bit different from most, many business owners see those in the same trade as competitors, but we use this as a positive framework to leverage and assist each other. We have numerous case studies and success stories to share, showing how collaborating can help everyone gain more.
You can follow our Instagram account or join our Facebook group. Alternatively, if you prefer Facebook pages or Telegram channels, we also collaborate with the Singapore Business Lobang Telegram Group and the Singapore Business Network Facebook page.
