About the Saginaw Small Business information Network (SSBiN) Organization:
The Saginaw Small Business Information Network (SSBiN) provides informational and networking resources for new and existing businesses in the Saginaw, Michigan area. SSBiN seeks to streamline information access and availability for small businesses, providing solid resources for decision-making, creating a unique mix of economic development programs, and building a network of regional partners focused on growing business within the Saginaw Valley.
SSBiN completes their mission through the development and continual maintenance of this website, through targeted educational programs and through networking opportunities. The SSBiN presents a comprehensive network of available small business education resources, support services and financing options.
The SSBiN web site is an initiative of the Vision 2020 Entrepreneur and Small Business Committee. Through a generous grant by the Saginaw Foundation, SSBiN has developed this website.
During this first-year trial period, the website will evolve as the local business community uses the information provided. We need your input! Ideas and suggestions to improve the types of information provided, to expand the lists of tested and reliable resources, and to provide a good forum for questions and answers are welcome. Please contact us with your thoughts.
The organizations listed below are responsible for the SSBiN organization and web site. For a complete list of business organizations in the Saginaw area, please see the Business Groups in the Roadmap.
