Founding Members
Did you receive an invitation to become a Founding Member of Southern Business Institute? You’re in the right place.
The Southern Business Institute is about connecting and collaborating.
Business owners and professionals are better when we all come together to share ideas and resources. You can own a business without being on your own. Join other businesses in the Southern Business Institute to empower and help you on your journey.
The Vision
Looking around our community, the only professional organizations and platforms for collaboration are based on business location, business type, and groups the owner associates with personally.
Other business networks limit the group to a single seat of a particular profession. The broader need for businesses to collaborate and connect is missing. Business growth is contagious and when businesses thrive communities thrive. The Southern Business Institute is the cornerstone to small business collaboration and growth throughout the South.
As a Founding Member, you will be able to socially share your commitment with the community and will also have opportunities to speak at events and collaborate on publications.
You are helping us build something great. Your feedback will be invaluable as we open the group to general membership.
