Frequently asked questions

Networking48 is a membership network of county business communities across England. Members get a directory of the other members in their county, introductions, and regular quarterly member events.

Business owners, founders, freelancers and professionals who do business in one of our active counties. You join as an individual and list your business on your profile.

There are two options, both paid monthly. The 6-month membership is £29 a month for your primary county, with a 6-month minimum term. The 12-month membership is £25 a month for your primary county, with a 12-month minimum term. Each additional county is £10 a month on either option.

When you join you choose a 6-month or 12-month minimum term for your primary membership. You pay monthly, and you agree to stay a member for at least that long. The term starts on the day you join and doesn't change when you add or remove counties.

Your membership simply continues month to month at the same price. You aren't signed up to a new minimum term. From then on, if you cancel, your membership ends at the end of the monthly billing period you're in.

Yes. Choose as many active counties as you like when you join, or add more later. Each additional county is £10 a month and is part of the same membership and the same monthly payment.

Yes. Your primary county is the one your directory opens on. You can switch it to any other county you belong to from your profile at any time.

Yes. Regular quarterly member events are included with your membership. You can see and RSVP to the member events in every county you belong to.

As soon as your first monthly payment is confirmed, which normally takes a few seconds. You then complete your profile, and it goes live to other members once it's finished.

Yes. Add a county from your account at any time: it's added straight away, you pay a prorated amount for the rest of the current month, and your minimum term end date stays the same. If you remove an additional county, it stays open until the end of the monthly billing period you've paid for, and your monthly payment goes down from the next payment.

Cancel from the Billing page in your account. During your minimum term, you can ask to cancel at any time: your membership stays active and your monthly payments continue until the end of the term, and then it ends. After the minimum term, cancelling ends your membership at the end of the current monthly billing period. Until the end date you can choose Keep membership to carry on as before.

On the end date you lose access to the member directory and member events, and your profile is no longer shown to other members. Your account stays, so you can rejoin later from the join page.

No. Your email address, phone and WhatsApp numbers are never shown on the public website. Inside the member area, you choose whether other members can see them. Your profile only appears on the public site if you choose to be featured on your county page, and then only your first name, surname initial, photo, job title, business and town.
