Utilise the power of social media
Social media can be an extremely useful tool to find local start-ups, mentors and other business owners to connect with before meeting up at networking events. Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Google+ are the perfect places to connect with similar business people.

Plan an effective launch event
If there are networking events around that are too formal or too relaxed and don't suit the business's style then create one. Make a friendly networking group that is free and in a place that is easy to find. Advertise this event and people will turn up, chances are they felt the same way about the other events.

Attend regularly
Join regular informal meet ups. Informal networking events often encourage business owners to be more honest and talk more openly. Make sure these events are within the industry and there will always be a range of expertise and someone who can answer a question.
