About the Kent SBSC Group
We are the Kent SBSC Group...
SBSC stands for "Small Business Specialist Community"
This site is a contact point for the members of this group, and also a chance to showcase the member skills to any organisation who may require the services the group offers.
The Kent Small Business Specialist Community Group was formed in November 2007, originally based around Microsoft Partners who had studied for and completed various certification qualifying these partners to specialise in IT for small and medium sized businesses, but currently consisting of a range of businesses not necessarily now Microsoft Partners. The Kent group is one of a number around the UK, and indeed the world - it is a large community based on like minded individuals and companies collaborating rather than competing.
New members:
The group welcomes new members - and invites potential members to initially attend one of our regular meetings - please email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it for more information.
Vendors wishing to present to the group:
We also welcome vendors who wish to to come and present their wares to us at our regular meetings. As the groups members generally are, or support SMEs, products targeting this market tend to be more welcome than enterprise offerings. If a vendor volunteers to attend a meeting, this will be offered to the members for their opinion - it is not guaranteed that all members will necessarily wish to hear from all vendors!
If an invitation is to be extended, we are always very grateful if the vendor is able to contribute towards refreshments - after all we are a non profit making group with limited funding.
