Detroit Means Business

Detroit Means Business is Detroit’s small business assistance program offering access to resources, information and experts to ensure businesses can safely reopen and successfully operate moving forward. It is comprised of a coalition of many organizations and advised by a group of Detroit’s small-business owners committed to providing trusted support to help businesses succeed.

Small businesses are the backbone of Detroit’s economic vitality. They are the primary drivers of our city’s job creation, constituting 50 percent of Detroit’s employment. We know there are tens of thousands of small businesses in our city that need this program, all of which are critical to Detroit’s future.
To help Detroit’s small businesses safely reopen, the program offers:

• Reopening Guidelines and Playbooks focused on safety and cleanliness
• Free one-on-one coaching and consultation
• Informational webinars
• Access to relevant financial resources
• Contact information for suppliers of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gloves, masks, hand sanitizer, sneeze guards and face shields

While our focus is on Detroit small businesses, DMB is accessible to all businesses regardless of geography through its webinars, reopening playbooks and online informational resources.

Just like Detroit’s business community, we’re committed to success. The program will continue to be updated as new protocols are announced and new tools become available. To learn more about the DMB program, visit www.detroitmeansbusiness.org or call (844) 333-8249.
