Business clubs bring together business owners, professionals, executives and others with an interest in commerce. They may operate as membership organisations, private members' clubs or regular networking groups. Their purpose is to help members make professional connections, exchange knowledge and discuss business issues in a structured social or professional setting. Typical activities include networking meetings, talks by guest speakers, panel discussions, workshops and business breakfasts or lunches. Some clubs provide meeting rooms, workspaces, dining facilities or private event spaces, while others focus mainly on events and introductions. Membership arrangements and eligibility vary: clubs may serve a particular industry, profession or local business community, or welcome members from a wider range of sectors. Some charge membership fees or event charges, and may offer member directories, mentoring or referrals.
