Disclosure Policy

Welcome to Business Circle, where we’ve been fostering genuine, local business connections since 2017. In the spirit of our community‑first ethos, we want to be completely transparent about the ways we help keep the platform thriving. When you see links, recommendations, or tools highlighted on our site, they may be part of one of three affiliate or partnership programs we’re proudly involved in: the BNI Membership Referral Program, the Constant Contact Affiliate Program, and the Canva Affiliate Program.

Our participation in the BNI Membership Referral Program means that when we recommend a BNI chapter or membership tier, we may receive a referral bonus if you decide to join through our link. This does not affect the price you pay, nor does it influence the impartiality of our advice—our goal is simply to connect you with a proven network that can boost your referrals, just as our own members benefit from the three‑referral‑per‑month model we champion.

Similarly, links to Constant Contact and Canva are affiliate links. If you click through and sign up for their services, Business Circle may earn a commission. These partnerships enable us to keep providing free resources, webinars, and the round‑table‑style discussions that help members grow their businesses. Rest assured, we only recommend tools we truly trust and use ourselves, ensuring they align with the practical needs of local business owners aged 35‑60.

We are committed to maintaining the trust that defines our community. Any compensation we receive is disclosed clearly, and we never accept payment for favorable reviews or biased content. Our content remains editorially independent, and we always aim to give you the most accurate, helpful information to support your referral partnerships.

If you have any questions about our disclosure practices or want more details about a particular partnership, please visit our Contact Us page. We’re here to listen, learn, and keep Business Circle a transparent, supportive space for all members.
