Letter from the President & CEO

Detroit small business owners deserve better – a level playing field, access to capital, supportive legislation, help navigating City services, a way to connect to peers, and so much more. They need an advocate. Enter Detroit Means Business (DMB), an organization fully dedicated to helping small businesses operate safely and successfully.

Access and Inclusion Statement

DMB is committed to providing a path to business ownership, neighborhood stability, inclusive employment and upward mobility for all Detroiters.
