Established Connections, Endless Opportunities
The Business Club is a trusted community of Sunshine Coast business owners who come together every Thursday to exchange ideas, share insights, and support one another.
Whether you’re looking to expand your network or enhance your business skills, we provide the ideal platform for fostering meaningful relationships and achieving lasting success.
Our Story: A Legacy of Connection
The Business Club is one of the Sunshine Coast’s most enduring business communities. Originally formed as part of Ali Larson’s Leads Club, our journey began with just five passionate members. Over the years, we’ve grown, adapted, and evolved into the vibrant group we are today.
In 2000, we became The Business Club, merging two local groups into a unified and supportive community. With a focus on building genuine connections and driving business growth, we’ve proudly welcomed over 400 members since our inception.
Today, our membership includes 35 to 50 members, with around 30 actively participating in our weekly meetups. We continue to thrive, embracing new members and helping local businesses achieve lasting success.
A Space for Everyone
At The Business Club, we take pride in being a diverse and inclusive community, welcoming businesses from all walks of life. While some professions, like chiropractors or hypnotherapists, may not currently be represented, we’re always open to exploring new opportunities and inquiries.
