"Who's actually paying us?"
Fee statements built by hand from several exports, every single month, for every franchise partner.
For breakfast networking franchises
Stop running your network on nine different tools.
B2B Circles is the one platform built for networks of weekly business breakfast groups. Franchise partners, members, payments, meetings, referrals and chat, all in one place, all under your brand.
- Your name, logo and colours
- Platform fees collected automatically
- Built for franchises, not bolted on
Sound familiar?
Generic software was never built for a network like yours.
Every tool does one small thing, nothing talks to anything else, and you and your franchise partners spend your time being the glue.

"Is that seat really free?"
Profession exclusivity lives in a spreadsheet someone forgot to update. Two accountants end up in one room.
"What's going on out there?"
You can't see attendance, retention or referrals across the network without asking every partner for a report.
"Which app do I open?"
Members juggle a WhatsApp group, an invoice email, a booking link and a PDF. It all feels disconnected, and it reflects on your brand.
The fix
One platform. Every level of the network.
B2B Circles understands how a franchised breakfast network actually works, from HQ down to the member in the chair.

What it does
Everything the network needs, nothing it doesn't.
A lot goes on under the bonnet. Here's what you and your partners will actually notice.
1 Run the franchise
Territories on a map
Draw boundaries, assign postcode districts, and get a warning before two partners overlap.
Fee plans that run themselves
Percentage or flat fees per partner. Statements are produced, VAT included, and emailed on the 1st.
Partner onboarding
Agreements, data-protection terms, company details and training, all signed off before a partner goes live.
Network dashboard
Members, attendance, retention and referrals by partner. Spot the strugglers and the stars.
2 Run every Circle
One seat per profession
Open seats, held seats and waitlists. Applicants and references are handled for you.
Meetings on autopilot
Twelve weeks scheduled ahead, reminders with calendar files, agendas, and QR check-in on the day.
Spotlights and stand-ins
Presenters rotate fairly, swaps are agreed in-app, and substitutes are arranged with one link.
Guests that convert
Invite, book, pay the fee, get thanked, and apply, with a funnel that shows who brings the best guests.
3 Grow your members' business
Referrals with real values
Pass a lead, track it to a win, record the value. Show members exactly what the network is worth.
Chat for the whole network
Circle, partner and network channels plus private messages. Live, searchable, with file sharing.
Public directory
Circle pages and member profiles that search engines can find, with a contact form that protects member details.
Events and ticketing
Network-wide conferences or local socials, free or paid, with capacity that can't be oversold.
4 Extras that make it feel modern
AI presentation helper
Members draft their 60-second pitch and Spotlight with an assistant. You choose the provider and set the limits.
Training hub
Courses, videos and documents for partners, leaders and members. Make modules required before go-live.
White-label by partner
Each partner's people see their logo and colours. Network HQ keeps its own look.
Built-in help manual
Ask "how do I..." and get a plain-English answer for every role. Fewer support emails for you.
Payments
Members pay their Circle. Your fee arrives without chasing.
Each franchise partner connects their own Stripe account, so membership money goes straight to them. B2B Circles takes your platform fee on every payment and writes the monthly statement for you.
- Monthly or 12-month memberships, with joining fees, discount codes and free trials
- Fees calculated on membership income only, net of VAT and refunds
- Failed payments handled with reminders, never an awkward manual chase
- Unpaid partner fees follow a clear grace period before a pause

Built to be trusted
Serious about your members' data.
Strict separation
Each partner only ever sees their own people. Private messages are readable by nobody but the participants.
Two-factor sign-in
Required for HQ and partner owners, with authenticator apps and backup codes.
GDPR tools
Members can export their data, and HQ can erase it on request. Retention clean-ups run on a schedule.
Audit trail
Sensitive actions are logged, including when staff view an account, which is always read-only and needs a reason.
Questions
Things network owners ask us.
Is this only for one particular network?
No. It's designed for any franchised B2B networking organisation that runs weekly breakfast or lunch groups. Terminology such as "Circle", "Seat" and "Spotlight" can be relabelled to match your own language.
Do we need to be a franchise to use it?
It works best for networks with several operators, but a single operator running a handful of groups can use it too. You'd simply be your own franchise partner.
Who holds the money?
Each franchise partner connects their own Stripe account. Members pay them directly, and your platform fee is taken automatically on each payment. You never need to hold anyone else's funds.
Can partners and members see our brand, or yours?
Yours. Network HQ has its own name and look, and each franchise partner can add their own logo and accent colour for their Circles and members.
Can we keep our existing fee structure?
Yes. Choose percentage or flat fees, per partner or per Circle, and change a partner's plan from any date without touching past statements.
How do we move our existing members across?
We'll work with you on a migration plan, importing partners, Circles and members so nobody starts from scratch. Book a demo and we'll talk it through.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. It's an installable web app, designed for phone first because that's where members check in, chat and pass referrals.
