Membership Page

Small Business United Association membership provides an opportunity to participate in the strength of a group purchasing organization [GPO] for small businesses and any size trade or affiliated Association of individuals. SBU provides solutions for small business and associations to combine the purchasing power of thousands of our members, which enables our association to negotiate large volume pricing agreements with numerous vendors that provide products and services attractive to our membership.

By joining Small Business United and leveraging the strength of our association’s combined purchasing volume, your small business, association, or individual members are able to obtain discounts on products and services available only to large corporations. 

Small Business United Association membership provides every member access to a robust and affordable suite of voluntary insurance plan options.  Our plans are underwritten by some of the nation’s largest insurers, including Continental American Insurance Company. Membership in SBU includes group negotiated rates for Limited Benefit Hospital Indemnity Policy which provides a PPO network of 300,000 practitioners nationwide offered by Beech Street. SBU members also receive an employee discount card for access to a discount vision plan, nurse’s hotline, counseling services, and discounts on hearing aids. Members and their dependents have unlimited access to Registered Nurses via a toll free number in the USA 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Any employer with up to 499 employees may join SBU.  Any association without limit to size may join SBU.  Employers pay an annual membership fee for joining SBU and all of their employees [50 or less] are eligible to participate in the group purchasing programs.

Associations of affiliated members may join SBU at no charge, and each of their individual members that would like to participate in SBU group purchasing programs must pay the annual SBU association fee.
