NCB co-director Danyelle Mailer said the vibrant college had been operating successfully since November 2002 in the Chevron Renaissance building in Surfers Paradise.
She said the reason for the move was to provide business owners with easier access to the campus and better parking.
"Access off the back highway makes it much easier and more time efficient to attend the college," Ms Mailer said.
A former Gold Coast Business Excellence Awards monthly winner in the Emerging Business category, the NCB has established a reputation as a leader in business, coaching and lifestyle education.
Last year, it assisted 320 participants ranging from small to multimillion dollar businesses.
The NCB specialises in working with businesses in the growth phase of the business life cycle. These are predominately businesses which are less than 10 years of age, have up to 20 team players and are open to growth and accelerated results.
"What's surprising is that businesses which have been operating for 25-plus years are also attending the college."
Always aiming to value-add for clients, the NCB has become known and trusted as the school for business owners and their teams.
"This is done by providing practical, street smart business guidance that produces accelerated results, having fun on the journey and creating an 'experience' for everyone who comes in contact with us," she said.
"The business has continued to develop and evolve the programs offered to recognise the needs of business owners and the training required for their teams to build successful businesses. We are committed that our clients win the game of life."
She said the Gold Coast Campus offered its first program in January 2003 and grew to open a second campus in Brisbane in March 2006.
"Since then, we have assisted growing businesses with the practical application of running their businesses," she said.
"The plan is to provide a campus around Australia for small and medium businesses to learn, grow and receive support to ensure their success. Not theoretical corporate training but practical, street smart training."
She said the NCB was committed to increasing the success of small and medium sized businesses in Australia.
"To ensure the success of businesses, business owners needs to be aware of the game they are playing, which means knowing their numbers. Included in the Business Mastery Program, Profit and Loss Projections are included so that business owners can be clear on their targets and know what sort of profits these targets are projected to produce. Most business owners are hoping for profit at the end of the year, not really knowing and, as such, the business is dictating their income and lifestyle," Ms Mailer said.
The NCB provides coaching, mentoring and training to small to medium-sized business owners and their staff in an environment that is fun, flexible and cost effective. It teaches techniques on how to sell, deal with cashflow, manage staff, market your business in a cost-effective way, how to be a great leader, time managed, self confident, enjoy a balanced lifestyle and be wealthy - the practical way.
It also actively fundraises for the StepUp Foundation, which gives teens the opportunity to be inspired by high profile Australian speakers and others who have 'stepped up' in life and business.
The launch will be on April 29 at Level 2, Eastside, 232 Robina Town Centre Drive, Robina, from 6pm to 9pm. Business owners who have never been to the college before are welcome to attend.
The NCB holds regular events. Upcoming business breakfasts are How to Develop the Dream Team in Your Business on April 15 in Brisbane.
The first Business Breakfast at Robina is on Tuesday, May 6, and will cover How to Bus-Proof Your Business - key tips to systemising your business. This will also be the topic covered at the NCB Brisbane breakfast on May 20.
The breakfasts are at 6.45am for a 7am start and finish at 8.30am. Entry is by $15 donation to the StepUp Foundation.
The Brisbane NCB is at Level 1, 74 Astor Terrace, Spring Hill.
