U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business Benefits of Membership


As a business owner, your time is valuable. You want someone in Washington to listen to you, work for you. That's where we come in.
	Improve affordable access to quality health care for small business owners and their employees.
	Provide a level playing field for small businesses to hire, train, and retain qualified employees.
	Promote a tax policy that allows small businesses the opportunity to reinvest more money in the growth of their businesses.
	Fight burdensome federal regulations and paperwork requirements that weigh disproportionately against small business—60% more than for larger businesses. We help you keep track of regulations that affect you.
	Cap punitive damage awards, to stop plaintiffs from shopping for friendly juries, and to ensure even handed judges are elected to the bench. One lawsuit, frivolous or not, can put a small business out of business.
	Encourage the efficient use of limited resources the government has dedicated to small businesses in their effort to reduce regulatory barriers, provide capital, and spur economic development.
	Expand and strengthen our infrastructure. Failure to do so can have devastating effects on a small business’ ability to survive. They’re called “essential” public goods for a reason: Your business can’t thrive and prosper without them.
