On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with David Rhoa, owner of D2R Consulting in Kalamazoo. He recently wrote an article about life and business planning for SBAM’s Focus Magazine. “Over the past two years, I've had a number of conversations with small business owners who've stated that economic uncertainty was making it very difficult for them to develop contingency plans for their business,” he says. “It was those conversations that served as the inspiration for the article.”

The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.

Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own. 

Our 30,000+ members are as diverse as Michigan's economy. From accountants to appliance stores, manufacturers to medical, and restaurants to retailers, what unites the SBAM membership is the spirit of entrepreneurship…a spirit that drove you to start and continue to operate your own business because you believe you can do something better than anyone else is doing it!
