Webinar | Developing Community Business Income Streams

Wednesday 8th April | 10:30 AM - 12 PM | Online

In this webinar, you’ll look at community business trading models and a range of traded income streams—from products and services to memberships, events, space hire and partnerships. You’ll learn from real examples and what they have in common, like building on existing skills, facilities and local connections.

You’ll then focus on “the power of the pilot”: how to test an idea at small scale to check demand, pricing, delivery and risk.

This course will cover:

  • Different trading models and when to use them
  • Common traded income models (products/services, memberships, licensing, events, partnerships and more)
  • What successful community businesses build on
  • How to design a pilot: who it’s for, what you’ll offer and how you’ll charge
  • Basics of unit economics: costs, pricing and margins
  • How to gather feedback and improve before scaling

This webinar will help you to:

  • Get clearer about which trading routes are realistic for your community business
  • Prioritise ideas that create both impact and income
  • Reduce risk by testing with a time- and budget-capped pilot
  • Make more confident decisions on pricing and delivery
