Terms, Conditions & Rules Of Membership

The MBBG aims to fully support each member of their group, by providing them with the greatest opportunity for recognition and referrals for their business. To achieve this, the MBBG limits membership to one business only within any industry. This allows MBBG members to develop a closer relationship with your business, ensuring you are always first in mind when it comes to industry-specific referrals.

Where a new business may be similar to an existing member business (such as a cafe applying for membership when a restaurant may already be a member), the similarities and differences will be evaluated by the MBBG members to ensure there is no direct conflict. This process means every MBBG member can enjoy equal opportunities within the group, which keeps it fair for everyone.
