On today’s SBAM Weekly Podcast, Michael Rogers talks with Heidi Devroy, owner of Prosper-Tech Machine & Tool in Richmond. They were named to the prestigious list of Michigan 50 Companies to Watch for 2023. “Starting a company at the bottom of a recession, always in the back of your mind…how can we diversify ourselves to really stand apart and then ride those waves and then continue to move up and grow our company?” she says.

The Small Business Association of Michigan is the only statewide and state-based association that focuses solely on serving the needs of Michigan’s small business community. We have been successfully serving small businesses like yours in all 83 counties of Michigan since 1969. We’re located in Lansing, just one block from the Capitol.

Our mission is to help Michigan small businesses succeed by promoting entrepreneurship, leveraging buying power and engaging in political advocacy. When small businesses band together through the Small Business Association of Michigan, they achieve more than they could on their own.
