BuddyPress.org

Hey There

I am looking for a little help with BuddyPress user roles. I am working on a site (domain reference: http://217.199.187.200/lovethelittleguys.co.uk/ and using WordPress version 4.2.4 along with BuddyPress version 2.3.2.1

This site will be a member site with 2 types of customer. The first member is categorised as a business user. The second member is categorised as a customer.

Basically I need to be able to use all the features of BuddyPress for the business members (which I can and have no problems with) and just a search ability for the Customer members. So to be clear, all Customer Members will not have access to their own BuddyPress Profile. I just want them to be able to view Business Members profiles however not have one of their own.

Is there an easy option for this?

I first thought of using a role defining plugin, however I am struggling to figure this out.

Any help would be great =)

Thank you in advance…
