Founding Partner Programme

Scottish Business Network is an independent international membership organisation for Scottish entrepreneurs and business leaders around the world. Our community is built on trust, shared ambition, and the belief that the right introduction, at the right time, changes everything.

Our members are founders, investors, senior business leaders, and global ambassadors who are actively building, scaling, and investing across the UK and internationally. They do not need more noise, they need the right people around them.

The trusted partner in the room when the decision is being made.

The Opportunity

three Exclusive Partner Categories

  • Supporting members on commercial, corporate, and international matters.

  • Supporting members on growth, investment, tax, and financial strategy.

  • Supporting members on employment, scaling, and people strategy.

As SBN grows its global community, we are appointing a small number of Founding Partners to support our members in key areas of business. We will appoint only one organisation per category for a one-year term, with the partnership open to a new sealed bid annually.

The SBN Founding Partner Programme offers something that cannot be bought through advertising, directories, or traditional sponsorship: direct, repeated access to a curated community of people who make decisions and influence others. By the time a competitor hears about an opportunity in the network, your organisation already has the relationship. That is the real edge.

Platform & Thought Leadership

Host one flagship members’ event per year where you lead the room. Rather than a product pitch it is an opportunity to demonstrate expertise, build trust, and form relationships.

Named as the official SBN Founding Partner in your category across all channels, with features in the Saltire Sentinel and use of the ‘SBN Trusted Partner’ designation.

What Partners Receive: 

Brand & Visibility

Direct Access

Reserved places at all SBN events throughout the year and personal introductions made by the SBN Chairman where there is clear commercial alignment

Commercial Edge

Positioned as the go-to organisation in your specialism across the entire SBN community. 

Next Steps

If you believe your organisation should be part of this conversation, we would like to hear from you. This is not an open application. We are looking for the right organisations, with the right people, who want to be part of building something properly.
