How Exclusivity Works

A Protected Position Built Around Your Industry

Every Network-Wide Industry Partnership is reviewed individually to ensure that the protected category is clearly defined, available, and appropriate for the TBBX community.

1

Request Information

Tell us about your company, your primary industry, and the category you would like to protect across the TBBX network.

2

Category Review

TBBX reviews your requested category, current availability, business reputation, service area, and community fit.

3

Partnership Approval

If approved, you receive a partnership proposal defining the protected category, term, participation, and annual investment.

4

Network-Wide Protection

Once activated, the approved category is marked as filled across all 12 TBBX meeting groups for the partnership term.

Business Industries

Categories such as HVAC, roofing, plumbing, insurance, financial services, healthcare, and other professional services are reviewed and protected independently.

Attorney Practice Areas

Legal partnerships are protected by individual practice area. For example, Personal Injury, Estate Planning, Family Law, and Business Law remain separate protected categories.
