Universal Business Consultants Professional Referral Network

Big Name. And it means big opportunity, too—for the right folks. We call ourselves “UBC” for short. And we really are a Professional Referral Network.

UBC is B2B. We build personal referral groups that surround and support a well-known local business leader in your own community. Membership into each referral group is exclusive, by invitation only, and managed by you—the franchise owner. 

UBC is Unique. UBC has developed a unique and time-tested business model that can produce outstanding financial results for franchise owners—income from group memberships, as well as residual income from renewing groups. It’s truly a win-win business proposition.

Win with UBC. You already know that the very best business you can generate is from personal referral, wouldn’t you agree? Well, that’s the heart of the UBC System. We create, curate and cultivate business referrals among our group members. We don’t profit directly from these referrals—we build lasting relationships that lead to profitable renewals—as we continue to build new groups around local business leaders.

More than Words. UBC has developed copyrighted marketing materials and referral methods that help assure success within each group—for the members and the local business leader, too.

Proven Potential. UBC has been operating successfully for almost 30 years. Now, we’re franchising in select cities to bring this dynamic and profitable business opportunity to a few capable and motivated entrepreneurs who want a business that offers these benefits:

  • Business Casual environment for marketing—you control your time and efforts
  • Business to Business (B2B)— you deal with business owners who value what you offer
  • We practice what we preach—prospective group members come to you by referral only
  • Group members typically receive a financial multiple of what they invested
  • Groups can renew each year, so you can build residual income streams
  • You can develop full-time income on part-time hours

UBC Sees You. So, we know who we’re looking for, maybe someone like you. Here are the qualities we appreciate most:

  • You are self-motivated, ready to use your talents, and want to make more money
  • You are a Millennial stuck between the corporate routine and entrepreneurial freedom
  • You are a Gen X’er between careers not wishing to climb that corporate ladder again
  • You are a Boomer who wants more money (but not full time) to have the time to live well

UBC Needs You. If you have sales skills, an outgoing personality, know the power of referral business, and want a business of your own helping other businesses grow—then look at us.

We’re UBC—Professional Referral Network. This is your time. It’s time to contact us
