About The Business League

The CORPS Networking Methodology

For over 8 years, The Business League has been Gold Coast's premier CORPS networking chapter, transforming businesses through structured referrals, exclusive territory protection, and genuine professional relationships.

What is CORPS?

CORPS (Commitment, Opportunity, Relationships, Professionalism) is a proven networking methodology that goes beyond traditional business networking. It's a structured system designed to generate quality referrals and build lasting business relationships.

Unlike casual networking events, CORPS operates on the principle of "Stronger Together" - The more you contribute to fellow members, the more value you attract in return—creating a thriving ecosystem of shared success and mutual support.

Exclusive territory protection ensures you're the only business in your category.

Relationships

Build genuine, long-term business relationships through structured one-to-one meetings.

Professionalism

High standards of business ethics and service quality from every member.

The Business League history

Our Chapter Story

Founded in 2017, The Business League began with a simple vision: create Rhode Island's most effective business networking group by focusing on quality over quantity. Our founders recognized that traditional networking often lacks structure and accountability.

By implementing the proven CORPS methodology, we've built a chapter where every member is committed to each other's success. Our track record speaks for itself - over $2.1 million in business generated through referrals in the past year alone.
