KCLBC had phenominal success during Fresher’s week with over 800 members signing up, making it the largest club/society at King’s College London University (and also the newest). Atleast 40% of members come from a non-management background demonstrating that KCLBC is open to everyone, including postgrads and alumni.

If you are interested in becoming a member or helping out with the club, please join our facebook group as we will be adding new positions and information relevant to members soon. Bear in mind, that you will need to be in the King’s College London network to register.

KCLBC is the first and only society to offer FREE membership to all King’s students. As a member, you’ll learn how to start your own business, get a £45k+ starting salary, and might even get a chance to dine with a millionaire in a posh restaurant. We will be organising competitions including a Dragon’s Den style investment panel, an Apprentice-style workshop, along with monthly presentations with guest speakers from the world of business. You will get exclusive access to internship and job opportunities, our media section, and be part of a life-time network where you might meet your future business partner or rich spouse!
