 Becoming a Member

What is NFIB?

NFIB is America’s leading small business association, promoting and protecting the rights of its members to own, operate and grow their businesses. Today, hundreds of thousands of small and independent business owners across America are NFIB members, united by one mission: to promote and protect your right to own, operate, and grow your business. Learn more about NFIB.

Why should I join NFIB?

 NFIB stands up for small business owners at the federal and state levels and in the courts.

Here’s what sets NFIB apart as the voice of small business:

One Member, One Vote: NFIB members—actual small business owners—define our work through their responses to our surveys. Each member has an equal say in the policy positions NFIB takes, regardless of the amount of dues paid.

State and Federal Advocacy: NFIB has a presence in every state and in Washington, D.C., giving our members a voice in public policy debates on the local, regional, and national level.

Exclusive Focus on Small Business: NFIB has always stood and continues to stand for America’s small and independent businesses. This sole focus distinguishes us from all other business organizations in the country.

We also hold events around the country that enable members to join our advocacy efforts and network with each other, NFIB staff, and lawmakers.

As an NFIB member, you can also access big savings for your small business, including discounts on personal and commercial insurance, payroll services, office equipment purchases, and more. Your NFIB membership will quickly pay for itself.

NFIB membership is valid for one year.

First of all, let me say this. I've always loved small business and having been in business myself for many years, I believe that there is nothing better. I encourage everyone to have some sort of business regardless if it only part time of a full fledged company employing many people.  I'm a membership rep for NFIB and am pleased to visit many business owners on a daily basis. To me NFIB membership is essential for any business person to learn about the issues, take as little time as he or she wants to invest in voting on them and then go about their business with the peace of mind that NFIB is working on their behalf.

Ter Scott of Ask LLC introduces new program to Celebrate Small Business in Northern Wisconsin

  Location Celebration of Small Business What is it? Every week North Wisconsin Small Biz celebrates a northern Wisconsin location and up to 20 businesses (first come first serve basis) in that location. We present a post listing your business (with 19 others) which is linked to your business Facebook page.   Viewers are asked to click on your link, go to your page and “Like” it. This creates more traffic to your Facebook page where you can offer them ads and information. They are also asked to like the post, comment, tag one person and share. This exponentially increases traffic overall. Each week we’ll randomly choose a winner who will then personally visit your place of business (and the other 19) to collect their prize; something you’ll commit to giving to the winner priced from $10 to $20 retail. Many businesses offer gift certificates to make this easier.  Visit our Facebook Page, NORTH WIS SMALL BIZ here.  What do you do as a business? First, you’ll...
