NFIB is the voice of small business, advocating on behalf of America’s small and independent business owners, both in Washington, D.C., and in all 50 state capitals. NFIB is nonprofit, nonpartisan, and member-driven. Since our founding in 1943, NFIB has been exclusively dedicated to small and independent businesses, and remains so today.
When a big issue affects small and independent businesses, NFIB is there. We have been for 75 years, and we will continue to be. We represent our members’ interests—our one member, one vote balloting process guides our work.
NFIB has an ear to the ground on what’s happening in Washington, D.C., and the state capitals. That puts NFIB at the forefront of advocating on today’s most pressing small business issues, such as taxes, healthcare, and regulations.
When NFIB speaks, legislators listen. They know that we bring them the voice of small business.
That voice, hundreds of thousands strong, comes directly from NFIB’s members and our research—combined, they make a powerful and influential case for our advocacy.
Because of NFIB’s credibility, we are asked to bring the small business perspective to Congress, state capitals, the courts, and the media.
NFIB was founded by C. Wilson Harder in 1943 and maintained its headquarters in San Mateo, California, until 1992 when it was relocated to Nashville,TN. Harder began with a home office and sold the first memberships to his neighbors. His vision was to give small and independent business a voice in governmental decision-making through advocacy. Since its early history, NFIB’s agenda has been determined through a one-vote balloting process of its membership. NFIB has grown from Harder’s for-profit entrepreneurial vision in 1943 to the non-profit national association it is today.
Small business owners dedicate themselves to their life’s work. We are dedicated to being their voice.
The voice of small business. It is our mission.

“I really enjoy planning and attending member events. One of my favorite things to do is member profiles, which allows me to go into the members’ businesses, sit down with the owners and learn about their businesses. What I love most is getting to hear how we have made a positive difference for them, making their work and lives easier!”

“I love working for the mission of NFIB on behalf of small business owners.
My one regret is that I didn’t start with NFIB sooner!”
-ETHAN HOBSON
Membership Representative
“I truly feel grateful that I am in a position to coach and develop my peers. Helping others increase their chances of being successful is something I enjoy doing. Another reason I’ve stayed at NFIB is attributed to the culture of NFIB. Everybody supports everybody else.”
“NFIB offers an excellent bonus program and a commission structure unheard of! I have a great career with an organization that truly cares for their employees and I can make more money here than anywhere else. I love my NFIB career and know this is where I am meant to be.”
“Right now is the perfect climate both literally and metaphorically speaking. Seize the opportunity and make IT happen!”
I came to NFIB when I was 18, just out of high school. I met my husband here. I feel like I’ve lived my life here. And I am so appreciative of all the stability and advantages I have had throughout these 25 years. I am especially grateful for the life I have been able to give my sons because of the opportunity NFIB affords me. The healthy teeth, gorgeous smiles and good educations that my sons have are advantages that will benefit them throughout their entire lives. I have never taken those privileges for granted.
The wonderful NFIB trips that I have taken provided experiences that I never would have had on my own. I won a number of Quarterly Achiever’s Clubs, which we had before President’s Club, and I’ve won eight President’s Clubs. Every one of them was out-of-the-box spectacular!
My retirement years will also be completely different than my parents’ because of my career at NFIB. I have always participated in the 401(k) program. My comfort, security and peace of mind will continue on after I retire, thanks to NFIB.
I have been working at National Federation of Independent Business part-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
I have worked as a Membership Representative and Division Trainer for many years. I love the fact that I can make as much money as I want. I am responsible for presenting NFIB to small business owners and enrolling them as a member of NFIB. Their reputation and culture are outstanding. I have the freedom to balance my family and work life and still make a good income. What keeps me going is the mission of NFIB to help small businesses to be able to create and grow their business without too much tax burden or being over-regulated.
As a trainer, I can travel and make an investment in the success of new hires. I also like being a mentor.
Cons
Must be able to be self-motivated and have good communication skills. This is a different approach than most people are used to if they come from a sales background. The most successful Representatives have NO SALES EXPERIENCE. We have a great training program.
