The BusinessBalls Story

BusinessBalls.com is our free ethical learning and development resource. It forms a huge part of our ongoing CSR activities.

Founded in 1999, BusinessBalls had been one of the internet’s leading hubs of personal and professional development resources for nearly two decades by the time we entered into a partnership with them in early 2017.

The website provides free and ethical leadership and management training for individuals and organisations. BusinessBalls supports both aspiring and experienced managers and leaders from all around the world and is one of the largest platforms of its kind. We endeavour to continue this mission as long as we can. BB remains an ethical, practical, innovative, and compassionate resource. 

We have since revolutionised the look and feel of BusinessBalls, providing innovative new features and functionality to improve the learning experience for everybody. The site was rebuilt in Moodle (now Moodle Workplace), the world’s most popular learning management system (LMS), meaning a greater range of functionality specifically designed for learning and development. The website now receives up to a million visitors a month.

More recently, BusinessBalls has also evolved yet further to offer another tier of next-level, interactive content, resources and opportunities. Going above and beyond the catalogue of content developed during the 2000s. These include BusinessBalls Premium and BusinessBalls Enterprise – monthly and exclusive subscription offerings for individuals and organisations respectively. Alongside many more thought leader insights, webinars, and compliance content. We will continue to expand our offering and utilise our years of in-house leadership and development expertise.
