READ THIS PAGE IN FULL TO SEE WHAT IT IS
WHAT IF WE TOLD YOU THAT IF YOU BECAME A SPONSOR OF THE BMBA YOU WOULD HAVE THAT SPONSORSHIP RETURNED TO YOU, IN FULL, AFTER A TWENTY-FOUR MONTH PERIOD.
IN OTHER WORDS A FREE SPONSORSHIP
IF THAT INTERESTS YOU, THEN THIS PAGE WILL DETAIL EXACTLY HOW YOU CAN ACHIEVE THAT THROUGH THE BMBA SPONSOR INVESTOR INITIATIVE.
THE BMBA NEEDS TO RAISE FUNDS
AND NEEDS TO SOURCE INVESTORS TO DO THIS.
The BMBA has entered into an exciting project through the Stonnington LGA and their impressive state-of-the-art Sports Centre located right next door to the Chadstone Shopping Centre. As it is with most exciting business initiatives the BMBA needs to raise funds to maximise the opportunity that it has before it. The reasons we need to raise these funds are listed below.
1
Court Hire for Sports Venues within Stonnigton
Once we enter into 2026, the BMBA will be entering an agreement that will see it using six courts at three different venues within the Stonnington LGA. The cost of this court hire is significant with court hire costs in 2025 anticipated to reached $90,000 per annum and rising in 2026 to a minimum of $120,000 per annum. Initially, we will run at a loss as we build up our junior participant numbers throughout 2025.
At the completion of 2025, it is anticipated that all our courts will be running at full capacity. At this point we will then start to see significant profit margins being delivered throughout 2026. To achieve this goal we need to cover court hire and associated costs throughout 2025.
2
Marketing costs to increase our participant numbers
To achieve the participation numbers to meet the above objectives, we are looking at three ways to market our training programs, basketball competitions and holiday camps to households and businesses within the Stonnington LGA and surrounding suburbs. These are: –
⇒ Social media advertising through Google ads and Meta ads.
⇒ Letterbox flyer delivery to every household within the City of Stonnington and surrounding suburbs.
⇒ Flyer delivery through every school for each student within the City of Stonnington and surrounding suburbs.
None of these methods is cheap, but they will ensure we attract enough participants to fill the spaces in the venues that will be operating out of in the City of Stonnington.
3
Staff costs to fund our initiatives.
To put in place our coaching programs and competitions will require staff in coaches, referees and administrators along with development officers to conduct our school clinics for primary school students.
All of the above represents significant setup costs, which is why we require investors. The financial rewards when we establish the BMBA throughout these Stonnington venues though will be significant. This will take approximately twelve months to achieve. At that point, we will be generating a turnover of over one million dollars per year, while enjoying a $300,000.00 to $500,000.00 profit. To achieve this our goal is to secure a minimum of one hundred $1,000.00 business sponsor investors to assist us to cover the expenditure we will need to get to that point.

What is a business sponsor investor (BSI)
A business sponsor investor (BSI) is an original concept that we conceived when we were attempting to come up with solutions for investments to realise our business ambitions for our junior sporting programs and competitions.
A BSI is an investment for two years of a minimum of $1,000.00. At the completion of the two years, just like a normal investment, you will have that $1,000.00 returned to you. The return on that investment will be through our normal sponsorship arrangements that you would negotiate with us. Alternatively, they can include any one of the below business services, or we can simply negotiate a normal business investment with an ROI. This is a limited opportunity as once we have established our programs and competitions within our Stonnington venues, we won’t be requiring the same investment. At that point we will be transitioning to more normal sponsorship arrangements.
If your business would like to invest more than our $1,000.00 minimum to gain even more exposure, then of course we are happy to negotiate that with you. Just contact me via my details below to arrange a meeting to discuss further details.
This is your only window of opportunity to obtain what is effectively a FREE TWO-YEAR sponsorship with what will be one of the most exciting junior sporting organisations in Melbourne. This page provides you with the information you need, the ability to purchase a package and the information to arrange a meeting for a presentation from myself to cover any questions that you may have
Our Business Services
Normally, when a business sponsors a sports club, it pays a designated amount in possibly different categories, such as Gold, Silver, and Bronze. For that amount, the business may get a sign on a wall, an oval fence, a badge on a uniform, or an ad in a newsletter. What a business may get in return can vary, but it’s not unfair to say that a business, especially a small one, may not get much back in return for that sponsorship.
So we have come up with a unique approach. While all of the above can still be negotiated, we have decided to ensure that not only all businesses can become sponsors but that we can guarantee a return on any monies provided. We do that by providing a selection of business services that you can choose from that cater to your budget.
So as a business, you can:
- Choose any of the services listed below for your business.
- Choose a combination of the services listed below for your business.
- Opt for a regular sponsorship arrangement.
- Combine a traditional sponsorship with a service purchase below.
- Or we can negotiate with you to make any of this possible for your business.

Meet BMBA founder and owner Bob Mann.
Bob has been involved in basketball since 1990 and in the IT industry since 1988. Through that time, Bob has built two Associations from the ground up, both of which grew to be the equivalent of a medium-sized company. The two Associations grew to such a size that they both employed numerous staff while serving thousands of families. Through that time Bob devised strategies through his IT strategies to build websites, conduct email campaigns and build social media platforms. In 2016 Bob founded his basketball academy where he could focus his efforts on training and developing juniors and building competitions.
He also branched out to provide services to other businesses in 2019 just before COVID-19 hit our shores he started the Community Forum Online newspaper.
Throughout the COVID-19 period, Bob chose to put this part of his business into hibernation while he rebuilt his basketball academy again once COVID restrictions began to lift. Now that he has secured court access at the magnificent Stonnington Sports Centre Bob is now in a position to also launch the Community Forum Online Newspaper with its various business services to complement his Junior Basketball Academy.
Bob designed this unique approach to acquiring business support for his sports academy as an alternative to the normal sponsorship arrangements which in many instances don’t see a return to business. So as a business owner and sports administrator, he has brought the best of both worlds together so that both organisations will benefit. You may well meet with Bob when he visits your business, or hear from him through our business newsletter.
Have your business featured in the Community Forum.
