Types of membership

We have two types of membership, corporate and partner.

Our corporate members are the backbone of our organisation. They inform our projects, join our working groups, host events, speak on BusinessLDN platforms, create content with us and have access to our full events programme. They benefit from our networks, contacts and insights, and contribute their own through reports, blogs, podcasts and more.

We work with each member to understand their priorities and to create a dedicated engagement plan that means they will get the most out of their BusinessLDN membership. Together, we champion London as city that works for business, for Londoners and for the whole UK.

Our partners are just that – they work with us to champion London, with a clear stake in our mission and a commitment to the capital to match. Partners shape our work plan; they deliver strategic projects with us; they have first refusal on hosting, speaking and sponsoring our significant events programme, on joining us for stakeholder meetings, on media opportunities, on access to our communications channels.

Together, we are a powerful combination.

BusinessLDN do a great job promoting London as one of the world’s leading cities. Working with BusinessLDN we’ve been able to get exposure not just to our own sectors, but other sectors and equally important getting exposure to government and political environments. It’s been really helpful.
