Who can apply to join the Martin County Business Exchange?
MCBE is open to business owners, executives, and licensed professionals who are committed to building strong, long-term relationships. While all are welcome to apply, membership is selective and based on business reputation, industry category, and community alignment.
How do I apply for MCBE membership?
To apply, simply complete our online application and provide any requested documentation. Our Membership Committee will review your submission and reach out with next steps, which may include an interview or additional questions.
How long does it take to hear back after applying?
MCBE applications are reviewed during our monthly Board of Directors meetings. Most applicants can expect to receive a response within 4 to 6 weeks. Please note that acceptance is contingent on the availability of your business category — if a current member already represents your category, your application may be deferred or declined to maintain exclusivity. You will be notified of your application status via email.
Is there a limit to how many businesses can join from the same industry?
Yes. MCBE follows an exclusive seat model, meaning only one member per industry or profession is allowed. This ensures each member gets maximum visibility and category protection.
What happens if my business is considered a competitor to an existing member?
If your business falls into a category already occupied by a current member, your application may be respectfully declined to maintain exclusivity and fairness within the group. You are always welcome to reapply if the category becomes available.
Are there membership fees or dues for joining MCBE?
Yes, MCBE has annual membership dues that support events, technology, marketing, and administrative operations. Specific pricing and payment terms are shared during the final approval process.
What are the benefits of joining the Martin County Business Exchange?
As a member of MCBE, you gain access to trusted referrals, increased visibility, professional credibility, exclusive networking events, and a supportive community that values meaningful relationships over cold sales tactics.
