About Business Mums Network
Business Mums Network was started in 2002 by Melissa Khalinsky who was frustrated at the lack of support for Mums who wanted to run a business around their family. Now working with 2 boys aged nearly 9 and nearly 7 (just ask them), she is providing events and training to help Mums start and grow their businesses.
