IIB Regional Groups

IIB Regional Groups are groups of business leaders who have been accredited by the Institute for Independent Business, working together in geographic regions. Members¹ of IIB Regional Groups have regular contact and frequent interaction. This is primarily regional group meetings (usually held monthly), although members often collaborate on each others' clients. Business-to-Business opportunities (often client services of interest to others) are also often circulated on a day-to-day basis.

IIB Regional Group members benefit from the camaraderie, and working together to achieve their Regional Group aims. The role and purpose of an IIB Regional Group² is essentially about Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and support of Associates. As business advisors and coaches, and practitioners, not only must we serve the needs of our clients, we must also look after ourselves and our own businesses!

Being accredited by the Institute for Independent Business, and working as part of the network of accredited Associates, we are able to:

• Develop and run our own practices & businesses more effectively; and
• Personal development to keep us at the top of our game, and up to date to offer the best service to clients; and
• Help our clients with their needs by partnering with our fellow Associates locally, but also nationally and internationally.

The Network of accredited Associates³ comprises thousands of experienced business people in over 35 countries. IIB Regional Groups perform a vital and important function - please take a look at what we do.

Associates are membership of an IIB Regional Group but not members of the Institute for Independent Business, our training and accreditation organisation.
