Small Business Membership
Who it's for: Independently owned and operated businesses with fewer than 50 employees, generating moderate annual revenue and catering to local or regional markets. Perfect for companies aiming to broaden their customer base and expand their operations.
Why it helps: Small businesses often seek to expand their market reach, improve operational efficiency, and navigate the complexities of growth. This membership provides enhanced networking, advocacy, and support services to address these needs.
Small businesses in their first year of operation receive 50% off membership dues. Contact the GSBA Membership Team at membership@thegsba.org to qualify.
