What is BNI?

Word-of-mouth is the most powerful way to grow

People do business with those they know, like and trust. Founded in 1985, BNI® is the world's largest referral-networking organisation — local chapters of business owners who meet weekly and turn their combined networks into everyone's sales team. It runs on one idea: Givers Gain®.

How members benefit

More than referrals

Yes, the referrals are real and they add up. But ask members what keeps them coming back, and they'll talk about the people.

📈

Qualified referrals weekly

A reliable flow of warm introductions from people who know, like and trust you — not cold leads.

Questions?

Frequently asked questions

How do I visit the chapter? +
Just register your interest using the form on this page. We'll be in touch with the details and get you booked in to visit a meeting as our guest — it's free and there's no obligation.
How do I join? +
Visiting a chapter is the first step in finding your referral partners. Once you've visited and feel it's a good fit, you can apply for membership. The process involves a short application and a chat with the membership committee.
What does "one seat per profession" mean? +
Each chapter includes only one member from each profession or specialty. That means no competition from within the room, and all referrals for your category come directly to you. Founding members get first pick.
What kind of businesses benefit most? +
Any business that can accept referrals can benefit from networking — from trades and services to professional and creative businesses. If word-of-mouth matters to you, BNI works.
Do I need to be sponsored to join? +
No. Being sponsored isn't a requirement. New members are often paired with a mentor in the chapter to help them get the most from their membership.
How often does the chapter meet? +
BNI chapters follow a structured, proven weekly agenda. Meeting in the same place at the same time each week is what keeps relationships warm and referrals flowing.
