Welcome to Riviera Entrepreneurs

Riviera Entrepreneurs is a friendly, down-to-earth community of English-speaking business owners living and working in France. Our members run all kinds of businesses – from creative services and consultancy to teaching, therapy, wellness, local services, and everything in between. Some are just starting out. Others have been running businesses for years.

What connects them is a willingness to show up, learn, and support each other.

Whether you come to one event a year or every single one, you’re part of this community.

Who you’ll meet

Our members are:

✅ English-speaking business owners based in France
✅ Freelancers, micro-entrepreneurs, service providers, local businesses
✅ People juggling business, life, and the challenges of working abroad
✅ Business owners at all stages – from just registered to well-established
✅ Those who want real connection and practical support – without fluff or pressure

For now, our in-person events are run on a pay-as-you-go basis.
You can choose which events you attend, and how often you show up.
In future, we may introduce a membership model to make event attendance even easier and more accessible – watch this space.

Riviera Entrepreneurs Networking in Nice France

What our Members say

Gain motivation, insight, and confidence

“It’s like having a really supportive, extended team - I’ve gained motivation, insight, and the confidence to keep going.” Ivana Nady is the founder of Zen Interiors, a business that combines architecture, construction, and feng shui to create meaningful spaces that reflect her clients’ values. When she transitioned from employment to launching her own business, she felt overwhelmed and isolated. Joining Riviera Entrepreneurs gave her a sense of belonging and connection with others on the same journey.

Build powerful collaborations

“Zoe’s guidance helped me stop spreading myself too thin, refine my offers, and prioritise what actually generates revenue.” Timothy Biscaye runs Accendo Group, offering HR and business consulting with a focus on multicultural talent, Gen Z, and women entrepreneurs. With decades of experience in global leadership, he joined the Momentum group to shift from “troubleshooter” to focused coach. Since joining, he’s built powerful collaborations and redefined how he positions himself - now proudly marketing his superpower as a people strategist and storyteller.

Discover a supportive business community

“The best part about working with Zoe is her dedication - if she doesn’t know the answer, she’ll always find it.” Marjolaine first joined Riviera Entrepreneurs to find new clients, but quickly discovered a supportive and empowering community. Initially shy and unsure, she gained clarity and confidence through events like Coffee Connections and a Momentum bootcamp challenge. Marjolaine now feels less alone, more motivated, and better equipped to run her business in France.

Wellness business on the French Riviera

“It’s like a mentor group - I’ve gained motivation, focus, and valuable insight from others navigating similar challenges.” Elena Esposito runs a wellness business on the French Riviera, offering Hatha yoga experiences, breathwork sessions, and sustainable yoga products. As a non-French speaker, she found registering a business and staying on track particularly difficult. Joining Riviera Entrepreneurs gave her a network of supportive, like-minded people, and the accountability to keep going.
