Since becoming a member of the SBA in March 2016, I have been able to gain valuable support in the form of business references and affordable classes to assist me in developing my business.  I have also been able to give back to them by tutoring one of their classes, which has also been a beneficial experience for me, as I have widened my business scope and have also gained new opportunities as a result of that experience.  The staff are always accommodating and friendly, and I do believe they are doing their best to lobby on behalf of small businesses in Barbados.  I am a firm believer of getting involved in any organization of which I am a member - as that is the only real way to realize benefits.  I am glad I'm a member and will continue to support the SBA in any way that I can.
