If you think these things will benefit you and your business, then BNI is right for you!

If you think about it, people hire a range of businesses every day. Does your landscaping client need an accountant? Does your accounting client need a plumber? Maybe they are thinking about renovating their entire house… you’ve got a trusted designer to recommend! And a builder to boot.
Being a member of BNI makes you part of a network of business owners all giving and receiving work. Not only do you get to give back to the business owners that are giving opportunities to you, but you also are able to give more value to your own clients thanks to your trusty ‘little black book’ of vetted and trustworthy fellow professionals.
Memberships are by application, and reviewed by the Membership Committee of each Chapter. There is a rigorous vetting process, including interviews and reference checks to ensure that the businesses involved in BNI are of the highest calibre.
We also have a Code of Ethics and a strong set of professional values that each member lives by. Each member is committed to upholding these standards to elevate the entire group.
Trust is our most important currency, and we take it very seriously. Any failure to uphold our values by a member of the group is investigated and actioned appropriately.
Business networking can be a bit hit and miss. Some events you might go to are more socially focused, and if you happen to touch on business then that’s lucky. At other events you might just swap cards and never call each other.
BNI is business-focused first, and driven by the principle of giving. It has a structure that keeps everyone accountable, keeps everyone following up, and is guaranteed to bring you more business if you work the system.
The more you put into the program, the more you can count on getting new business referrals every week, every month, from your BNI team.
