Membership Benefits
Qualified Referrals
Exchange leads with professionals who know your business and want to see you succeed. OBRS gives members a consistent place to build referral relationships through weekly participation.
Category Exclusivity
Each business category is carefully balanced to avoid conflicts between members. That means your category can be reserved, giving your referrals a clear and trusted path.
Local Relationships
Members get to know one another beyond a quick introduction. The group is built around mutual support, local connection, and the confidence that comes from seeing familiar professionals every week.
Member Promotion
OBRS also helps promote current members to the local community. The member directory gives visitors an easy way to find trusted businesses across Osceola County.
Open Business Categories
OBRS carefully balances membership by business category. Current open categories include:
- Florist

- Electrician
- Handyman

FAQS
How much does membership cost?
Membership is $150 per year. Breakfast or coffee during weekly meetings is optional and purchased separately.
Can I visit before joining?
Yes. Guests are welcome to visit a meeting so they can experience the group, meet members, and see if OBRS is the right fit.
How do I join OBRS?
Start by visiting a meeting and introducing your business to the group. From there, prospective members can complete an application and learn whether their business category is currently open.
What are the benefits of joining?
Members build stronger local relationships, exchange qualified referrals, and stay connected with trusted professionals in other industries. Membership also reserves your business category so another business in the same category does not join the group.
Can two businesses in the same category join?
No. OBRS allows one business per category so members can pass leads clearly and confidently without category conflicts.
What does a typical meeting look like?
Meetings usually include member introductions, one-minute business updates, a featured presentation, and time to pass leads. Most meetings run about 1 to 1.5 hours, and guests may order breakfast or coffee if they would like.
