BNI® Revives Franchise Opportunities in the U.S.

After a nearly ten-year hiatus, BNI® (Business Network International), the world’s largest business referral network, is reintroducing franchise opportunities across the United States. This initiative marks a significant moment for aspiring entrepreneurs and established business leaders alike, providing fresh avenues for growth and innovation in the small business sector.

A Legacy of Success

Founded 40 years ago, BNI has built an impressive legacy of supporting business owners through its proven networking system. With a focus on referrals, BNI has facilitated the exchange of 16.8 million referrals in the last year alone, generating an incredible $25.4 billion USD in revenue. This track record underscores the effectiveness of structured networking in fostering business success.

Mary Kennedy Thompson, CEO of BNI, stated, "This is an exciting moment for entrepreneurs who want to make a real impact in their communities." Her leadership, combined with a dedicated U.S. team, aims to empower business leaders to take control of their futures and cultivate robust professional networks.

The Opportunity for Entrepreneurs

The reopening of BNI franchise opportunities provides entrepreneurs and business leaders with several advantages: access to a globally recognized brand, a tested business model, and comprehensive training and coaching. This is more than a mere investment; it's an opportunity to achieve financial independence and positively influence local economies.

The franchise ownership model comes with extensive support from BNI's seasoned leadership team, which includes:

• - Dr. Lisa Renz, President of BNI US, known for her strategic approach to franchise management.
• - Michael Walchonski, Chief Development Officer, who drives the expansion of franchise opportunities.
• - Adam Petersen, VP of Franchise Development, focusing on nurturing franchise growth.
• - Dave Collins, Chief Operating Officer, who ensures operational excellence across the organization.

Together, they bring invaluable expertise to support franchisees, equipping them with the necessary tools and resources to thrive.

A Movement of Community and Success

BNI is not just about business; it's a movement dedicated to shared success and community advancement. With its structured referral system and an extensive global support network, franchise owners are positioned to increase their influence, cultivate significant business relationships, and build a foundation for long-term success.

The timing of this announcement is particularly exciting as BNI prepares for its upcoming BNI US-Canada National Conference, scheduled for April 2-4, 2025, at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott Hotel & Convention Center. This event will serve as a platform for business leaders to connect, exchange insights, and celebrate the growth of the BNI network.
