About B.E.S.T.

Building Entrepreneurial Success Together

Our Mission

"B.E.S.T. Business Alliance's goal is to Build Entrepreneurial Success Together!"

B.E.S.T. groups meet weekly to deepen understanding of each member's business, strengthen trust, exchange valuable insights, and actively support one another's growth — elevating both our companies and our overall quality of life.

We are more than a networking group. We are a professional referral community built on trust, accountability, and mutual investment in each other's success.

How B.E.S.T. Works

Category Protection

B.E.S.T. operates on a semi-category exclusive structure. The first approved member holds a protected category position. Additional applicants in the same category require existing member approval — protecting your investment in the group.

Attendance & Conduct

  • 4 consecutive unexcused absences = loss of category veto power
  • Going to be absent? Send a substitute!
  • No Referral Quotas — Ever!
  • Cameras must be on to attend
  • Professional conduct required at all times
