If you are a new business start-up (3 years or less) or are considering the rewarding path of entrepreneurship, the Business Start-Up level provides you with these benefits:

Your Advocate:  SBE Council is your advocate in Washington, D.C., which means you receive the most effective and respected representation in the halls of Congress, within the Administration and Federal government regulatory agencies. SBE Council is YOUR VOICE.

Your Watchdog and Issue Specialist: Thousands of legislative and regulatory initiatives are proposed each and every year that impact small businesses, investment and the entrepreneurial sector of our economy. SBE Council staff review hundreds of proposals, and work with our network on Capitol Hill, in the White House and within Federal agencies to ensure that proposed measures encourage - rather then hinder - small business growth and entrepreneurial activity.

Small Business News: This popular and widely sourced report will arrive weekly in your email box. The concise and action-packed update will keep you appraised of SBE Council's legislative and advocacy work, special reports and links to our regularly published Op-Eds or news articles where SBE Council staff or members are quoted. Small Business News not only informs you of SBE Council's work, but also includes member activities, key issues and trends impacting your business, and resources to help your business grow.

Tools and Briefing Materials:  SBE Council will call on you to contact your Members of the U.S. House or Senate, or officials within the Administration and Federal agencies to help advance or defeat proposals depending, of course, on their impact upon your small business and the climate for entrepreneurship in general. Join an issue Task Force or Advisory Panel, and play a more active role in the education and advocacy process.  SBE Council will provide you with the opportunity, tools and path to help you make a difference.

Special Events: The SBE Council hosts events, conferences, Capitol Hill visits and educational forums throughout the year, enabling members to network with each other, and stay informed on trends and best practices that benefit your enterprise.  (Please note: events may include registration or meal fees.)

Member Surveys, Feedback & Involvement: SBE Council members are asked for their opinion and ideas on policy issues. Your personal stories are also very important for SBE Council research, educational and advocacy efforts. Therefore, SBE Council members are called upon to speak with the media, government officials and testify before the U.S. Congress as well as special Commissions and Task Forces.
