BBNA is a curated national network. New to the network, or already an advertising-only member — every applicant goes through the same fifteen-minute application and short interview with the founding cohort.
Approved Founding Cohort applicants (before 1 January 2027) get 20% off monthly membership for their first 12 months — $1,000 + GST per month, direct-debited from Day 1. Then locked at standard $1,250 + GST/month through end of Year 3 — no CPI, no increases. 12-month minimum term. Standard list price is $15,000 + GST/year. No franchise fees. No per-deal cuts. Ever. Every membership includes $120/year of giving to B1G1 Business For Good on your behalf.
Start Your Application
Complete the application below. We'll ask about your experience, current arrangement, licensing, and what you want from the network. Every field is deliberate — we don't waste your time.
We reply to every application within two business days. Either an invitation to interview, a request for additional information, or a clear decline. No radio silence, no ghosting.
A structured conversation with a member of the founding cohort. Video call or in-person if you're on the Gold Coast. You interview us as much as we interview you.
If approved, white-glove onboarding onto The Platform within 3–5 business days. Approved Founding Cohort applicants pay $1,000 + GST/month for their first 12 months (20% off standard), then step to $1,250 + GST/month locked through end of Year 3. Direct debit from Day 1. 12-month minimum term.
BBNA is not the largest network in Australia, and we're not trying to be. We're building the network serious independent brokers actually want to be part of.
Yes. BBNA membership is now a curated professional network with The Platform at its core — not an advertising subscription. Existing members go through the same application and interview as new applicants. It's not a formality: we reserve the right to decline applications that don't meet our new professional standards. Advertising-only members who aren't approved for the new tier can continue to advertise under the existing arrangement.
Within 3–5 business days of approval, you'll be onboarded onto The Platform (CIM-PRO) with white-glove support. Approved Founding Cohort applicants pay $1,000 + GST/month for their first 12 months (20% off standard $1,250/month) via direct debit, then step to standard monthly billing locked through end of Year 3. 12-month minimum term.
We tell you directly. Your existing arrangement with BBNA (if any) is unaffected. If we think you'd benefit from another year of experience before joining, we'll say that too, and encourage you to reapply.
No — the opposite. BBNA members operate under their own brands. Your name on the door, your face on the listings, your relationships with your sellers. BBNA appears as your infrastructure partner — like "Powered by AWS" or "Intel Inside" — never louder than your own brand.
On your listing advertising and buyer enquiry pages. This isn't a marketing preference — it's a disclosure requirement. When a buyer enquires on a BBNA listing, they need to know that their details enter the shared national buyer pool and may be matched against other network listings by our AI. Two conventions apply: “Powered by BBNA” on your digital touchpoints (email signatures, website footers, listing pages, CIMs, buyer enquiry forms), and “Member of BBNA” on your physical touchpoints (signage, letterhead, business cards). Your brand always leads. The BBNA mark sits quietly below, alongside a plain-English disclosure of how the buyer pool works.
Never. BBNA charges a fixed annual membership ($15,000 + GST list price, discounted to $12,000 + GST for the first 12 months if you're an approved Founding Cohort applicant) and separately-priced advertising packages if you want portal exposure. The network takes zero percentage of any commission on any deal, ever.
The Founding Member offer is contingent on a 12-month minimum term and active onboarding. Approved applicants who join before 1 January 2027 pay $1,000 + GST per month (20% off standard) for their first 12 months, direct-debited from Day 1. From Year 2, membership steps to standard $1,250 + GST/month — and stays locked at that rate through the end of Year 3. No CPI. No increases. Guaranteed. During onboarding you commit to attend the kickoff call within 14 days of acceptance and complete platform training within 30 days. After the initial 12 months, you’re free to cancel any time with 30 days written notice.
They stay 100% yours. BBNA never sees, contacts, or owns your seller relationships during your membership, and if you ever leave, your mandates, contracts, and personal contacts go with you. What flows across the network is buyer intelligence and settled-deal data, both generated automatically by the platform.
Two options: keep your existing website and drop BBNA's free listings iframe onto it so your listings on The Platform appear on your "Businesses for Sale" page automatically. Or take the $1,000 + GST/yr full broker website hosted at yourname.com.au. Both are optional.
The annual gathering of BBNA members on the Gold Coast in October 2027. Three-day working programme with deal reviews, buyer-side panels, and the BBNA Awards dinner. Included in every member's subscription. Launch applicants receive priority accommodation. Full details on the Exchange page.
