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.

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.
