Two business owners have launched an online resource hub to support small firms and sales teams.
Rachel Staddon and Sarah Read from Southampton have created B2B Expansion Hub to provide practical sales and growth support for small businesses and salespeople.
With decades of experience in business development, sales, and marketing, the pair have worked with some of the world's biggest industrial B2B names.
They have also built and run their own businesses, giving them firsthand insight into the pressures of small business growth and front-line selling.
"But we also know the demands salespeople face – hitting targets, managing pipelines, and finding quality leads.
"That's why we created B2B Expansion Hub – to share what we've learned, cut through the jargon, and give smaller businesses and their teams affordable support."
The platform, available UK-wide, offers a growing library of expert tools, templates, and straightforward advice.
It covers a range of topics from defining ideal customer profiles and building sales strategies to mastering LinkedIn outreach and staying GDPR compliant.
Sarah said: "We're not just building a resource hub – we're building a community.
"We want to create a space where small businesses and sales professionals can learn, grow, and support each other, without the noise and distractions of traditional networking."
Members get access to live monthly Q&A sessions with Rachel and Sarah, each focused on a different practical challenge, along with supporting resources to take immediate action.
The community area is also open 24/7 for members to ask questions, share wins, and get advice from people who have been there.

Sarah added: "For small businesses and busy salespeople, finding the right support can be overwhelming.
"There's so much information out there, and it's hard to know what's reliable.
"We wanted to create a single, trusted source for practical, actionable advice – something that's affordable, accessible, and genuinely helpful."
B2B Expansion Hub is now live, with free access to the community area.
