While building his own business development consultancy during the depths of the pandemic, Rupert Lane (1 North 1987) joined a number of professional online communities where he received unprecedented levels of help, collaboration and support from other business owners.
Realising that the increased goodwill experienced in everyday life was now spilling into the corporate world, he became convinced that if this could be effectively channelled, more for whom cashflow often creates a significant barrier, would survive and thrive. And so ProBo was born. The sharing economy transformed how we travel, where we stay, and how we work, however smaller businesses still risk future success by having to make decisions outside their core skillsets. ProBo facilitates access to all the experience and advice of a like-minded, expert peer-to-peer community for free.
ProBo was created to channel the goodwill that developed in business during the global pandemic. For many businesses, barriers have come down and they have become open to boosting and supporting each other through sharing of experience and advice. As this sentiment developed so fast there was no existing vehicle to channel it efficiently.
ProBo connects complementary business and freelance professionals across multiple sectors, helping them connect, communicate, and receive free help and advice, so vital to ensure that they thrive, while enabling them to pay it forward themselves. Designed to fill the void where small businesses need simple help and advice, but do not have the cashflow to fund it, ProBo does not replace paid work. In fact quite the opposite is true, as it enables professionals to market their skills and experience practically, to potential future clients.
The challenge that startups and small business owners face when trying to wear too many hats, and making decisions that fall outside of their core skillsets, remains. Cost prevents them accessing the expertise needed, meaning mistakes are made and future success put at risk.
