Want to grow your business? The Hills Business Network provides a great environment to network with other business owners from different industries who will not only be a great source of referrals and provide collaboration opportunities but also support you and your business.
Our goal is to ensure that every week, you leave feeling inspired , educated and empowered in your business journey. Whether it’s through hearing the story of another business, building meaningful connections with potential referral partners, or meeting the right person who can help elevate your business to the next level, every interaction is an opportunity.
We strive to create a space where every member feels valued and walks away with at least one actionable insight or spark of inspiration to bring back to their business—whether it’s the motivation to embrace change, explore new ideas, or take the next bold step.
Albert Einstein famously said, “The day we stop learning is the day we die.” While it might sound dramatic, it highlights a simple truth: continuous learning is essential for personal and business growth.
Connecting with fellow business owners opens the door to shared knowledge, mutual support, and the chance to give back by sharing your own experiences, challenges, and successes.
There’s something incredibly rewarding about sharing your business journey—whether it’s a cautionary tale or a triumphant win—and reflecting on how you overcame those moments.
In a positive, professional environment, the benefits of learning from and supporting one another are invaluable. After all, we’re stronger together than we are going it alone.
Let’s be honest—running a business can feel isolating at times. That’s why being part of a supportive community of like-minded business owners is so valuable. You’re not meant to navigate this journey alone, and that’s exactly why HBN exists. There’s nothing quite like being surrounded by people who believe in you and cheer you on every step of the way.
We’re creating an environment where you can share both your challenges and successes with others who truly understand. Whether you’re seeking advice from someone who’s been in your shoes or celebrating a win with people who genuinely get it, you’ll find encouragement, camaraderie, and inspiration to keep moving forward.
We recommend allowing 2 hours - the actual meeting goes for 90 minutes however, we encourage you to stay a little longer to mingle & chat with other members.

Commencing in 2025, our membership policy will allow multiple businesses per category, providing broader networking opportunities and a richer exchange of ideas and expertise.
We believe this change will provide the following benefits:
Enhanced Collaboration: By welcoming multiple businesses in the same category, we create more opportunities for collaboration, partnerships, and shared success.
Increased Variety: This change will provide members with a broader range of expertise, products, and services, enhancing the value and experience of being part of our network.
Stronger Network: A larger and more diverse membership strengthens our ability to support local businesses and drive growth within our community.
No, we believe your time is more valuable spent networking and receiving input & getting you back to your business instead of spending hours a week on fulfilling other obligations relating to the running of the group, that's what we are here for.
No forced accountability at HBN! We don't force you to record statistics etc, just be committed to turn up, be engaged, participate & you will begin to see significant changes in your life & your business. We believe your accountability is to your business, we are here to help you achieve that.
Full details on the annual investment are on the application page via the link at top of this page. It basically works out to be around $47 per meeting which also includes catering/breakfast so it is very affordable. The membership is paid annually and there is an option to split the annual membership over 4 months.
