ABOUT THE INDIE CLUB COMMUNITY:
Indie Club - https://www.indie-club.uk/
Is a community for independent business owners, bootstrappers and freelancers.
We’ve decided not to follow the classic society framework, roughly named “commuting, working, sleeping”. We have decided to create our own business. And in our own way.
