We provide business knowledge to members in critical ways to help our members stay competitive. Our members find value in knowing what other businesses are doing and we provide that information through our annual survey date in five key areas. We also provide exclusive advice from experts with white papers and statistics. The MBPA has over 30 workshops, digital webinars and events per year, plus more than 5 large statewide conference symposiums.

There are four primary ways the MBPA networks your business through Facilitated Networking. Our monthly networking events and webinars, Facilitated Networking Packets and Blasts as well as Social Media and Forum are all ways we keep your business connected with others.

The MBPA has been a critical factor in many issues concerning Small Business. We were instrumental in the repeal of the Michigan Business Tax and the Item Pricing Law. Our focus changes as issues arise that affect business in Michigan and we fight to help do what is right for business in Michigan. Our lobbyists are very active in Lansing working with Legislators daily. We also have significant influence with lobbyists in Washington D.C. to support our business needs on the federal level.

The MBPA has over 100 valuable financial savings programs for your business. We encourage you to look over these highlights, and also speak with your Membership Services Representatives as to which programs will best fit your business.
