Memphis, TN — In a business environment where huge corporations seem to be competing for every niche, small business owners are finding it harder than ever to stay afloat and succeed. The Small Business Empowerment Association (SBEA) is coming to the rescue with a new website and a powerful package of benefits that small business owners can use to create their own advantages.

The new SBEA 360 at http://www.sbea360.com features services that include legal assistance, discount health care, tax services and over 100 benefits and discount services for a price that is lower than what traditional companies offer for one benefit alone.

The site also features cutting-edge services like Small Business TV, networking, financial tools, a website builder, downloadable forms, and a B2B market place that connects buyers and sellers.

SBEA CEO Malcolm Allen is author of "Tired of Being Broke." An expert on small business, Allen fully understands the difficult situation many small business owners are finding themselves in.

"So far, the nation’s economic recovery has been largely limited to big corporate profits. Small businesses need important services at affordable prices in order to compete. SBEA 360 offers what is needed at deep discounts," Allen said.

SBEA uses the power of numbers to negotiate dramatically lower prices for its members. Included are business kits that provide business plans, sales letters, and legal forms. Members also receive access to more than 400 approved lenders who give small business loans.

SBEA also gives members a free web site and offers associated tools to promote sites. "The Internet is the great leveler," Allen said. "Get online and you can grab new customers 24/7 without having to spend thousands for big media ads. A business of one person can have the same visibility as a much larger business."

SBEA 360 also offers discount health care plans that employers can use for themselves and their employees. Of the millions of Americans who do not have health care coverage, a large percentage work in small businesses. Allen sees SBEA 360’s healthcare offerings as an important positive step toward solving the problem.

Should members have questions or need new ideas; the SBEA 360 Forum is online and open around the clock, featuring discussions between members and answers from SBEA’s panel of experts.
