On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with John Patry, an Elite member of the Small Business Association of Michigan and the CEO and owner of Team UIS in Dexter. “What we do is keep power controls safe, reliable and compliant for places where downtime is not an option,” he says. “Those places are hospitals, data centers, water and wastewater plants, big commercial buildings like the Renaissance building in downtown Detroit, big shopping malls or universities and stuff like that all over Michigan and Ohio.”

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!
