About Business Connections Florida
The Business Connections of Central Florida Inc (BCCF) manages a series of qualified business leads and referral groups in the greater Orlando area to help promote its member services and connect them locally and internationally with other business professionals, networking organizations, chamber of commerce’s and international connections.
Insurance & Benefit Partners used to belong to other groups and due to the growth and success of attending Business Connections we have directed all our efforts into these groups and belong to 3 of them.
In short Business Connections works.
-Heidi Soukup, Insurance & Benefit Partners
Being a business connections member requires a commitment to find referrals for your team and in turn they will work just as hard to find referrals for you. In just these 2 months I have received 6 referrals of which all 6 resulted in “closed business.” Not only have I gained strong referrals but also a group of people who will help keep you thinking about growing your business and growing the team.
Best Regards,

It’s John’s drive, passion, business knowledge and leadership skills that make our group successful.The I-Drive group is a motivated group looking out for each other,it’s like you have 30+ sales people working for you.
Business Connections has been a great asset to out our business, any business looking to join a networking group, and wanting to increase there client base and profit they should visit one of John’s groups and see what they are missing out on.
John also volunteers with me at the Sunshine Foundation, a child’s dream granting charity, and was my main sponsor in May 2010 when I did a 50 mile ultra marathon for the foundation.
Thank you John for all you do for the Sunshine Foundation and for your on going support.

I have had a few referrals and met a lot of nice people that I have enjoyed talking to and spending time with. I guess I also made a few friends too! John made me feel welcome and gave me a lot of ideas and support to help me grow.
I would like to recommend any business to join one of John’s connection groups to help their business grow and they will get all the help and support and knowledge that John has to make these groups as successful as they are.
I would like to say a big thank you to John for all the help and support you give!

The BCCF Difference
Membership of the BCCF groups is limited to one person from each profession with a maximum of 50 professions represented in each group because of the meeting time restraints. Membership of the groups also provides discounted membership to participating chamber of commerce’s and affiliate partner services. Members also have access to online training and other special events organized by BCCF.
Many leads, referral and networking groups are more like recruitment centers for new members and concentrate more on selling the group concept rather than their own businesses. We encourage members of any leads, referrals or networking groups to attend as a guest to experience our synergy. If your profession is not already represented within the group you are welcome to submit an application to join, if it is already represented you can submit your name on the reserve list and even join another start up group locally.
BCCF Founder
The BCCF was founded by John McLoughlin who has been responsible for founding the many local and international networking groups including the BNI* British Connections in Orlando and The British American Chamber of Commerce of Central Florida (BACC) leads/referral groups.
His work in forming the BACC leads/referral groups increased the membership to the BACC by over 70% in less than five months.
