AmSpirit Business Connections is a professional business-to-business networking franchise that empowers entrepreneurs, sales representatives, and professionals to grow through structured referral groups.
Founded in 1990, the company is headquartered in Columbus, Ohio, where it remains led by Founder and CEO Frank Agin. AmSpirit began franchising in 2007.
AmSpirit’s core offering is weekly chapter meetings where members, each representing a distinct industry, exchange “qualified referrals” in a structured format designed to foster trust and boost sales.
Members pay a one-time initiation fee of approximately $295 and quarterly dues of around $95, investing in a system focused on warm client introductions rather than generic lead generation.
What sets AmSpirit apart is its exclusive chapter structure (one member per professional category) and its singular mission: to drive business referrals—unlike chambers of commerce or civic groups where sales are secondary.
Here's what you would need to invest if you were to start this franchise. These costs are provided by the franchisor in the Franchise Disclosure Document.

AmSpirit Business Connections offers a structured training program designed to prepare franchisees and their team for operating the franchise successfully. The training components are as follows:
AmSpirit Business Connections does not offer exclusive territory protection to its franchisees. Each franchisee is assigned a non-exclusive "Franchised Area" where they are expected to operate their business office, but this does not prevent the franchisor from establishing other franchises or company-owned outlets nearby.
Franchisees may also face competition from alternative channels of distribution or competitive brands controlled by AmSpirit.
Additionally, AmSpirit retains full rights to market, sell, and distribute services through various means, including internet, telemarketing, and other direct marketing methods, even within the designated area of a franchisee.
