Become a Trusted BBB Partner.
Join a carefully curated network of businesses trusted by Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, Family Offices and private offices across the world.
Not advertising. Not a directory. A standing recommendation from people who have already tested your standard.
Reach an exceptional professional audience.
BBB members are Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, Chiefs of Staff and Family Office managers who make significant purchasing decisions on behalf of the world’s most demanding principals. They are not browsing. They are acting.
Build trusted relationships rather than buying leads.
Every introduction through BBB is peer-endorsed. When a member recommends your business, it carries their reputation. That is worth more to you than any advertisement, and it is worth more to the principal than any directory listing.
Showcase your expertise within a curated community.
Your partner profile, editorial contributions and event presence position you as an expert within a community that values substance over noise. The members who find you have already been told you are exceptional.
Connect through events, editorial content and member recommendations.
Partners are invited to BBB convenings, briefings and private dinners across London, New York, Dubai and beyond. Editorial placement in The Journal reaches members who trust what they read precisely because it is not advertising.
Become part of an ecosystem built on trust and reputation.
BBB is not a directory you appear in. It is a community you belong to. Partners operate alongside members, share knowledge and are held to the same standard of excellence that makes the network worth belonging to.

Common questions, plainly answered.
-
How long does approval take?
Applications are typically reviewed within five working days. If your application progresses to an introductory conversation, we will be in touch directly to arrange a suitable time. The full process — from submission to acceptance — usually takes two to three weeks.
-
Is every business accepted?
No. We are selective by design. We deliberately limit the number of partners within each category to maintain quality, relevance and genuine value for our members. We would rather decline a strong application than dilute the standard of an existing partner. Every decision is made carefully.
-
How many users can access BBB?
Annual partner membership includes access for up to three named team members. This allows your team to engage with the community, contribute to editorial content and attend partner events. Additional users can be discussed during onboarding.
-
When does membership begin?
Membership begins on the date your application is accepted and your onboarding is confirmed. You will be introduced to the community, listed in the Partner Directory and connected with relevant members from that point forward. There is no waiting period once you are accepted.
-
Can I speak to someone before applying?
Yes. If you would prefer to speak with someone before submitting your application, please write directly to partners@thebatteredblackbook.com. We are happy to answer any questions in confidence before you formally apply.
