Running a business in South Devon shouldn't feel like an uphil battle...
Posting all the time but getting no clients from social media.
Making sales, but there’s nothing left in the bank.
Hating numbers. Can someone please just explain it simply?
Having no idea how to plan or stick to a budget.
Haven’t paid yourself a salary in months, and you’re exhausted.
Feeling like you’re doing everything and still falling behind.
Your work is taking over your life, you barely see my family.
Knowing you should market your business, but hating being online.
The competition is making you lose confidence.
You’ve taken courses before, but none of them actually helped.
Feeling tired of figuring it all out on your own.
Everyone keeps saying ‘delegate,’ but you don’t even know what you can let go of.
Sound familiar? You’re not the only one.
When our co-founder, Kat Dancey, started BCH, it was because she had lived through this. She heard it from her clients every single week. And the truth is, most affordable support out there just… wasn’t that helpful.
So she created something that was. Real-world training, local experts who genuinely care, and a community that has your back.
The Business Community Hub is where South Devon entrepreneurs come together to learn, grow, and thrive. With expert-led workshops, hands-on training in marketing, finance, sales, legal essentials and much more, plus the kind of accountability that keeps you moving forward, BCH gives you practical tools to build the business you dreamed of when you first started.
Meet like-minded business owners in Torbay, gain fresh perspectives, and tap into a supportive network that understands your challenges, and wants to see you succeed.

Meet the Founders
BCH was born from the idea that business owners in Torbay and Teignbridge need more than a webinar and a Facebook ad. They need real support.
