The Association in co-operation with its founder members has established a network of agents and representative groups throughout the free trading world, their function being to provide "on the spot" market information and supply business contacts

The Association places great emphasis on the need for on-going business training and professional education.

"Knowledge and sound business practice will determine success in a competitive business world". Seen as a major contributor and resource, an educational training unit has been established.. General or specific advice on matters relating to business or professional education is offered - suitable courses of study, both informal and formal, can be recommended.

We aim to continually update the Association's range of courses. In today's rapidly changing world we feel that flexibility of qualifications will be vital to career and earnings progression.

Initially we propose to provide courses in the following business subjects - Independent Consultancy, Sales and Salesmanship, Accountancy, Economics, Business Start-up and Business Administration.

We also aim to organise business seminars in the future, at convenient locations, based on topical business subjects. These meetings will also enable members to further network their services.
