Company Overviews

About Business Round Table

Rick DesBrisay was a businessman in Moncton, New Brunswick, and a member of the Young Presidents' Organization (YPO), an international network of company presidents under 50 years of age. DesBrisay thought such an organization would be useful to Canadian small-business owners who weren't eligible for YPO membership (companies must have at least 50 employees and sales in the millions).

Business Round Table started in Moncton in 1991. At present, there are more than 125 members. There are 11 Business Round Table groups in Moncton and it is now operating in the greater Halifax area with Paul Roy. Under the guidance of John Schrempf, Business Round Table is now operating in Barrie, ON. Ram Sundar is the latest franchisee in Etobicoke, ON. There are 2 groups in Nova Scotia so far. Membership is open to experienced entrepreneurs (those who have a financial interest in a business for 5 or more years and are involved in the management of it).

Groups of 10 to 12 members meet once a month to discuss business problems and opportunities, then work together to solve problems and build more successful businesses. Franchisees in Canada and now in the United States act as facilitators and teachers for group members.

About The C12 Group

"The
Building great businesses for a greater purpose.
The C12 Group is not another business-centric Bible study or a professional networking group. It's also not a guest speaker forum or business solicitation platform.
It’s an objective Peer Advisory Group for like minded business leaders to share ideas and best practices, focusing on areas to sharpen in their business, and lives.
In a confidential, non-competing C12 Peer Advisory Group experience, members learn from their group’s wisdom and insight. By sharing with those who have "been there", they encourage and hold each other accountable to the biblical principles and core values that guide them. Our mission is to change the world by advancing the Kingdom of God in the marketplace through the companies and lives of those Christ calls to run businesses for Him.
