Sofie Enterprises is on a journey to create a collaborative and mutually supportive community of entrepreneurs and the advisers who support them. We see social and business entrepreneurs collaborating locally as part of our community.
We are excited at the planned launch in Q1 of 2026 of the Sofie Academy. Sofie members will have discounted access to different learning programmes to help you (or those you represent you) on your entrepreneurial journey.
Click here for a recording of a recent Supper Club talk by longstanding member, Jim Gilroy, on his path to a successful exit and his exciting new role at Clean Engineering. Jim used the BOSS methodology to help him grow and exit his business as he explains in this 30 minute video clip. We are developing a range of courses to be made available at the Sofie Enterprises Academy. These will be practical courses to help entrepreneurs and to support those professional advisers who work with entrepreneurs on their journey to growth and ownership transition..
We are developing a range of other membership options, which will become more relevant as we grow the services we provide. Take a look below at our chart showing how this will work. Follow this link to find out about our Supper Club called 1845 Connect.
