Membership is open to Muslim entrepreneurs, business owners, professionals and students. There are tiers designed for each stage, from those with an early business idea through to established businesses expanding into international markets.
Membership tiers are shown on the membership section of this site, each with its own monthly price and benefits. All tiers include access to Connect by SMBF, our online B2B platform, with event discounts, mentorship and investment access increasing at each level.
