The Center for Private Business offers any underresourced business owner their first year of membership at no cost, as well as one participant’s Forum orientation fee at no cost. Your company’s second year membership dues ($1,500) will then go into a fund to support another underresourced business owner’s first year membership dues, creating a pay-it- forward model.
