About Us

It all started on a crisp autumn morning in 2015 when our team, then a group of strangers, gathered at a local coffee shop in Portland, Oregon, to discuss the challenges of building a thriving business. As we shared our stories, a common thread emerged: the struggle to find reliable referral partners. That pivotal moment changed how we saw the world of business networking, and two years later, in 2017, Business Circle was born. Our small team of enthusiasts, each with their own unique entrepreneurial journey, came together to create a platform that would revolutionize the way local business owners connect and grow their businesses.

Our mission is to foster a community of trusted referral partners, where local business owners in non-competing trades can collaborate, support each other, and thrive. We believe that by matching owners who send each other three referrals a month, we can create a powerful network effect that drives growth, improves customer satisfaction, and strengthens our local economies. Some of the key benefits our members enjoy include:

  • increased exposure to new customers and markets
  • valuable feedback and insights from fellow business owners
  • opportunities to develop strategic partnerships and collaborations

We’re proud to serve a diverse range of industries, from home services to professional consulting, and our members appreciate the personalized approach we take to matching them with the right referral partners.

We invite you to join our vibrant community of local business owners and experience the power of Business Circle for yourself. Whether you’re looking to expand your customer base, improve your marketing efforts, or simply connect with like-minded entrepreneurs, we’re here to support you.
