What's included
Everything behind the membership.
Every benefit, described plainly: what you get, how often, and which memberships include it.
Every week
The Circle Letter
A weekly letter on opportunities worth knowing about, funding that's opening or closing, and what's changing for local business. Short enough to read over coffee.
The Bid List
A weekly shortlist of public bids matched to your trades, the areas you serve, the buyers you want and the contract size you can handle.
- Each bid with its deadline and a direct link to the issuing agency
- The same list by email
- An honest empty week when nothing fits
The Funding List
Open grants and funding programs matched to your business or nonprofit, every week, including anything that closes within 30 days.
- Matched to your organization type, location and program areas
- Deadlines and eligibility in plain language
Work Match
For landscaping, mowing, pressure washing, janitorial, junk removal, exterior maintenance, snow and small repairs. We actively search for work matching your services in up to five areas you choose, and when a property manager, owner or agent we know asks who can do the job, your profile is our answer.
- We never take a cut and never negotiate your prices
- Clients pay you directly
Your website
A website, written, built and hosted
Answer a short set of questions and we write and build your site within three business days. It's hosted, kept running, and yours.
- Up to two pages, written from your answers and correct on every phone
- A simple logo, with three designs to choose from
- Basic search setup done right: your name, town, trade and hours
- Click-to-call, click-to-text and email buttons
- Hosting, security certificate and daily uptime checks
- One full revision round, then small edits as you go
Not included: online payments, booking systems, customer logins or a promised position on Google. Your domain and your words are always yours.

Advice

Parcel Watch
Planning and zoning agendas read every week against up to three parcels you name. If a jurisdiction doesn't publish its agendas online, we tell you before you pay.
Community
The Circle Meeting
Once a month, online, about an hour. We open with one opportunity or funding program worth knowing, then the floor is yours. Every member can introduce their business in sixty seconds.
Member directory
Your business, town, trade, website and a click-to-call button, in a directory other members and partners actually use.
