I have a company with three staff members. Should I purchase three separate individual memberships or a business?
A Business membership will cover your entire organization at its current and future size. Purchasing individual memberships for smaller companies is an option but will be an additional fee. The benefit of a business membership is that it covers all employees through one company representative. There is a financial benefit to purchasing a business membership versus individual memberships. The choice will need to be made by the prospective member. Feel free to contact an NBIH representative via e-mail for further advice for specific situations.
