About the club
A business network open to everyone.
Persian Business Club exists for one purpose: connecting business owners and skilled professionals in Australia so they can grow their businesses through each other. Every background is welcome.
Definition
What Persian Business Club is
Persian Business Club is a professional business network in Australia, open to business owners and skilled professionals of every background. It exists to build a trusted network where members find clients, partners, mentors and referrals through people who have a stake in each other’s success.
Audience
Who it is for
Every business owner and skilled professional in Australia is welcome to apply, from sole traders and freelancers to company directors. There is no minimum business size, no industry restriction, and no requirement about nationality, language or heritage.
Members span multiple industries by design. The club deliberately mixes sectors so introductions cross into new markets rather than circulating inside one industry.
The name
Where the name comes from
The club grew out of Sydney’s Persian-speaking business community, and it kept that name. The name describes the club’s origin, not a condition of joining. Membership has never been restricted by background, and the club is stronger for the range of people in the room.
Position
Independence and neutrality
Persian Business Club is a business network, not a political organisation. It is not affiliated with any political party, government or foreign entity, and does not conduct political activity under its name.
Members bring a wide range of personal views and backgrounds. What they share at PBC is a commitment to business, not a political position. This neutrality is a condition of membership rather than a marketing line — it is what lets a genuinely mixed community work together on the thing its members actually have in common.
Objectives
Strategy and objectives
The club’s objective is to be the most trusted business network in its region. It pursues this by running regular events, seminars and exhibitions; supporting members through structured education, mentorship and referral collaboration; and creating deliberate cross-sector connections that produce partnerships members would not otherwise find.
Operator
Who runs the club
Persian Business Club is operated by Can-Do Events Pty Ltd, based in Castle Hill, NSW. Can-Do Events organises the club’s events, manages membership, and sets the operating standards — including the non-political rule — that keep PBC functioning as a business network first.
How PBC differs from a chamber or an open networking group
| Chamber of commerce | Open networking group | Persian Business Club | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who is in the room | Any business that pays the fee | Anyone who buys a ticket | Applicants reviewed individually against conduct standards |
| Who can apply | Registered businesses | Open to all | Open to all — sole traders through to company directors |
| Typical event | Broad and general by design | Large, high-churn, low continuity | Referral-focused networking, seminars, workshops |
| Commercial mechanism | Advocacy and visibility | None beyond the introduction | Referrals, structured mentorship, 10–20% member discounts |
| Say in how it runs | Board and committee structure | None | Members vote for the club’s planning members |
The difference is not who is allowed in — anyone can apply. It is that the club vets for conduct, mixes industries on purpose, and attaches a commercial mechanism to membership rather than leaving the value to chance.
See the room before you decide.
Guests are welcome at PBC events. It is the honest way to judge whether the network is useful to your business.
