What Is Persian Business Club?
Persian Business Club is a professional network in Australia open to any business owner or skilled professional, regardless of background.
What is Persian Business Club?
Persian Business Club is a professional business network operating across Australia. It connects business owners and skilled professionals through regular networking events, referrals, mentorship, and member discounts, and it is open to sole traders, company directors, and everyone in between. The club is operated by Can-Do Events Pty Ltd, based in Castle Hill, NSW, and runs on a simple premise: business owners get more from a network built for repeated contact and mutual referral than from one-off events.
Who can join Persian Business Club?
Membership is open to any business owner or skilled professional in Australia, regardless of background, nationality, or language. This isn’t a soft aspiration — it’s the club’s actual membership policy. Applicants are reviewed individually on the same basis: a genuine business or professional practice and a willingness to participate in a network built on reciprocity. The club spans sole traders, partnerships, and company directors, across every industry, from trades and retail through to professional services, healthcare, technology, and finance.
Where does the name come from?
Persian Business Club takes its name from the community it grew out of. The club’s founders and early members built the first events and referral relationships within Sydney’s Persian-speaking business community, and the name reflects that origin. It has never described who can join. As the club’s events and referral network have grown, membership has grown with them, and the same welcome extends to every applicant regardless of where they or their business came from. The name is history, not a gate.
What does membership actually include?
Membership is built around a small number of things that consistently produce business results: structured introductions, real discounts, and consistent access to other members.
| Benefit | What it means in practice |
|---|---|
| Referrals and joint ventures | Structured introductions between members whose businesses complement each other |
| Member-to-member discounts | Discounts of roughly 10 to 20 percent on goods and services from other members |
| Members-only networking events | Regular events where members meet the same people repeatedly, not just once |
| Professional development workshops | Sessions on running and growing a business, open to all members |
| Mentorship program | A structured pairing of newer and more experienced members |
| Platform visibility | Member profiles and businesses featured across PBC’s own channels |
| A voice in the club | Members vote to select the club’s planning members |
None of these benefits are restricted by industry, background, or how long a member has been trading. A newly registered sole trader and an established company director draw on the same benefit set.
How does membership work?
Joining starts with an application, reviewed individually by Can-Do Events rather than granted automatically. Anyone considering membership can attend an event as a guest first, before applying, to see how the club runs and who’s in the room. There’s no fixed quota by industry or background — the review looks at whether the applicant runs a genuine business or professional practice and is likely to participate in good faith, not at where they come from.
Is Persian Business Club politically affiliated?
No. Persian Business Club has no affiliation with any political party, government, or foreign entity. It is a business network, not a political or advocacy organisation, and its events, mentorship, and referral activity are all organised around business outcomes rather than any political position. Members join for the same reasons members join any professional network: to grow a business, meet reliable referral partners, and get practical support from people who’ve solved similar problems.
Who is this club actually for?
In practice, that’s business owners and skilled professionals anywhere in Australia who want a referral network that produces more than a stack of business cards. Members come from every kind of background, and no prior connection to the club is needed — an interest in its events, and a genuine business to bring to them, is enough.
For anyone deciding whether to apply, the practical test is straightforward: does the club’s mix of referrals, discounts, mentorship, and events look useful for the business in front of them right now. If it does, the application process is open to them regardless of industry, business stage, or background.
