July Networking: GDPR Made Simple for Small Business Owners
GDPR. Four letters that make a lot of entrepreneurs nervous — and understandably so. Between the legal language, the risk of fines, and the constant stream of conflicting advice online, it can feel overwhelming before you've even started.
But here's the reality: GDPR compliance doesn't have to be complicated. It's about understanding a few core principles, applying them to your specific situation, and building simple habits that protect both your clients and your business.
In this practical workshop, we'll cut through the noise and focus on what GDPR actually means for small business owners. You'll learn the key requirements, common mistakes to avoid, and straightforward steps you can take to become more compliant without turning your business operations upside down.
Our guest expert speaker is , an international law expert who specialises in helping small business owners and expats navigate legal requirements with confidence. Fanny works with entrepreneurs who would not normally seek legal advice but still need to protect themselves, their clients, and their businesses. Her practical, no-jargon approach makes complex legal topics accessible and actionable, giving business owners the clarity they need to move forward with confidence.
Included in this session is:
*Talk from an expert speaker
*A sounding board to spark new ideas
*Get referrals

Business networking for small business owners
It can be lonely running a small business so let’s take you away from your desk so you can meet some like-minded business owners to grow your connections.
You need resilience as a business owner, there are so many spinning plates to manage; time, money, resources, and of course finding customers.
Our community is here to listen, help and support.
About your host
From starting a business in The Netherlands as an expat back in 2019 it was hard to get the right answers and find other business owners that were going through the same challenges.
Where do you find information, support, and recommendations without a network?
Over time, from attending events, asking questions, requesting help, and reaching out to people, I started to build a network of people who have provided invaluable support and has opened up many opportunities.
I love getting to know people, their stories, and their challenges, helping them by ‘connecting the dots’ through connections and collaborations.
