Application Form

The Entrepreneurs' Forum exists to encourage like-minded individuals to share their knowledge and experience. The Forum´s sole purpose is to create an entrepreneurial community that will help each member build a stronger more successful business to sustain business growth in the North East.

Our mission is to create an inspirational and aspirational networking platform bringing together entrepreneurs at different stages of success to help them reach their true potential.

Membership will be attractive to those eager to share, to learn and to inspire others. It means dipping into the sea of knowledge and experience contained within a growing and diverse membership. We aim to be inclusive, but our membership does have a strict application and evaluation process. Membership is for individual business owners and not their organisations.

The Entrepreneurs' Forum deals with all membership applications in a strictly private and confidential manner. The Forum does not disclose details of membership committee members. The committee reserves the right to refuse membership without comment. No correspondence will be entered into.

Required fields (marked with a *) must be completed before you can submit your application.
