Industry associations
Why join an industry association?
When you start your business, it’s a great idea to join an industry association.
An industry association is a group of people and businesses who all work in the same sector, like builders, hairdressers, travel agents or farmers with shared professional interests.
They often have special events where you can meet others, network, exchange information and learn from people who have been doing it longer than you.
Joining an industry association can give you:
- advice and tips for your business
- support from people who understand your work
- professional development opportunities and resources
- help speaking up for your industry to government.
Lots of industry groups have special low-cost memberships for new businesses, so it’s easier for you to join when you’re just starting out.
