A new group has been formed recently in the Poitou Charantes to help expat businesses. Their website offers a blog and forums so that members and the volunteers who run the group can interact.

Our main aim is to create a business community which meets regularly to help and support each other sharing the up’s and downs of trying to run a business here in the Poitou Charentes. Exchanging advice, recruiting, passing work to other companies within the group. In the current economic climate I believe as a group we can more easily pass through it, whilst preparing ourselves for the future.

This a great idea that I hope will spread out to other departments and areas. Find out more by visiting their site.
