On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Scott Ringlein, founder of the Energy Alliance Group of North America, a family of for-profit and nonprofit companies that share a common goal and expertise to develop innovative solutions to energy waste and environmental challenges. “We help business building owners, including those in Michigan, find ways to become more energy efficient, reduce their utility cost, improve cash flow both short term and long term, and then have an option to give back to others in the same community that they're located in,” he says.

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 32,000 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!
