Frequently Asked Questions
What happens when I apply?
We'll receive your details and book a discovery call with Thomas. We want to allow 90 minutes for the call — although if it's clear we're not right, it can be shorter. We'll want to get to know you, not just your business, but how you are personally, and discover the ways we can add the most value to you.
Do I have a contract?
We ask that you aim for at least one year of BIP100 membership, paid either upfront or on our monthly plan, as it takes time to settle in and for others to see your value and you to see theirs. We are on a journey together, hopefully for a life-time. You can, however, leave after giving us one month's notice.
Why don't you have more than 100 members?
We've learned the power of deep relationships and how that can have an amazing impact on people's happiness and success. We've studied the ultimate community size to enable trust and closeness and believe 100 is the maximum you can have.
How would I settle in and meet people?
We start with a 90-minute onboarding coaching session with Penny, who records a video about you and introduces you to everyone. There's a strong culture of 1:2:1s and people are keen to get to know all new members. Plus regular Zoom events, London lunches, and in-person days to get to know people fast.
What if I dislike networking?
Networking has a reputation for elevator pitches and hustling for business — that can make many of us feel nervous. This is why we build community, not a networking group. Think of it like a village with a pub in it, with a very welcoming landlord and a friendly group of new friends.
How much does the lunch in London cost?
We run these monthly, on the 3rd Thursday, in private rooms in a 4-star London hotel. Tickets are £85 inclusive of your welcome drink, three-course lunch, VAT and service. We don't profit from these events — in fact we subsidise the cost to keep the price as low as possible.
How often should I attend events?
There is no obligation. We suggest you attend when you can as you will get huge value from them, and it's always great to see your fellow BIPPers. The Zooms are interactive too — you'll get the opportunity to ask for advice or give some.
Where are your members based?
We are international. The majority are based around the M25 in the UK, but we have members in the USA and Europe. We deliver our service across 9 timezones.
What do your members do?
Most are service-driven experts, averaging around late 40s. Some have built and exited businesses, some have recently left corporate life. All are diverse and we try to ensure there is no duplicated expertise — everyone has their niche.
How do I get started?
