About the New York State Business Group

The New York State Business Group was founded in 1974 with the express purpose of providing small to medium size businesses with the same advantages and benefits previously enjoyed only by large corporations.

Our success is built around "strength in numbers"

The strength of our organization lies in the number of members we serve. So we're committed to providing every Business Group member -from the smallest to the largest- with the highest quality customer service. Members can count on our friendly, helpful customer service representatives to answer any questions, address concerns, and listen to feedback on our programs and services.

Affordable Membership Since 1974

Annual membership dues remained at $35 from 1974 to 2001. In 2001 it became necessary to increase membership dues to $60 -that's 27 years without an increase in dues! With that increase came the addition of the Wellness Package. While all the standard NYSBG benefit programs remain available to member employers, employees and their families, the Wellness Package is now available to the business owner or primary member as part of their annual dues. NYSBG, once again due to its size, is able to maintain these programs at heavily discounted costs -we pass the savings on to you, the business owner, in the form of a free benefits package.
