Industry exclusivity – a key component of DBN is that of industry exclusivity – we allow only one person per profession

By joining DBN you will be locking out your competitors and taking advantage of this unique referral generating system, subsequently positioning your business as the preferred provider for your industry.
At every meeting, sometimes you win new business and sometimes you learn.

As a result of the success of DBN we capped full Membership at 25. Due to the logistics of having limited time on a Wednesday morning. DBN Lite has been created to allow people visit up to once a month without needing to apply for ‘Full’ membership, as long as your Category is not already filled.

This is ideal for someone who cannot commit to weekly meetings, but who wants to get involved every month. Twelve visits a year could make a big difference to your business.

There is a small nominal Annual Fee €100 which helps cover the costs of stationery and marketing. There is no fee to attend. We are a ‘Not for Profit’ group.

DBN Lite is not full membership. After you visit twice you can join the Lite programne, to be entitled to visit up to once a month.

You can still apply for full membership if your Category is available. Or you can start lite and go full at a later date, if you choose.
Benefits of Lite include attending meetings, attending Training, giving and receive referrals, doing 121’s, bringing visitors and being included in Social Events.

• DBN Lite Members do not hold exclusivity to the seat or category. If another Lite membership application is received from another business, it will be considered. Therefore there could be two dentists or two engineers as Lite members.
