Why should you join our Association?
There is a good proverb - "there is safety in numbers." Based on this principle, and established associations - to unite the efforts of entrepreneurs to solve their problems.
In developed markets, the strongest associations often perform self regulating role, which is often even a substitute for legislative action and more effective.
So, briefly, the association is:
- Lobbying for the interests of market participants in power;
- Standards ("civilized") market for goods and services;
- Self-interest of the organizations and the people behind them.
A self-interest can be power and money, connections and influence.
What exactly make such joint efforts in the case of our Association?
1. NASMB represents the interests of large business groups, and therefore has a high social status. The authorities prefer to interact precisely with the associations, rather than with individual companies. Even large and rich company can not resolve this level as a change in legislation, tax cuts, improving the investment climate, etc., and our association have the opportunity and achieved much during the period of its existence. NASMB represented virtually all (sometimes only one of the Tajik business associations!) Expert groups, working with ministries and departments of the RT in terms of realization of state economic program and reform legislation. The views expressed by our association, will be heard!
2.NASMB - known association with extensive ties. On becoming a member of our association, you can expect an additional element of trust in your organization, possible new useful contacts with potential clients, learn from their colleagues. Associations are a tool to influence public and professional community, so our association is a good mediator in relations with the government, potential partners and competitors. NASMB - a thin PR-tool!
3. The Association focuses its efforts not only on general issues, and specifically on the existing problems of doing business in Tajikistan, so our services are always up to date! The Association conducts regular surveys of entrepreneurs, collects statistics and sociological research, so we offer our services, knowing the needs of businessmen.
4. The services provided by our Association, is much cheaper! Appeal to the consulting firm is expensive to hire the necessary expertise in-house companies are also expensive. Most small and medium enterprises can not afford a permanent full-time legal counsel, an expert in marketing or business development, often working part-time accountant, for wages of skilled experts are not less than 300 dollars a month. Pay about the same as if you hired a specialist in the company's staff, but not in the month and year (!!!) as membership dues to our association, you receive services at the same time several (!!!) Expert staff associations, as well as services of consulting companies with whom NASMB has an agreement. Thus, even if you need individual services (for example, you order is specific market research or want to Association represents your interests in court proceedings), which represents the association separately on a fee basis - it will still be cheaper, because all consulting company cooperates with the Association, provide services to association members at a discount no less than 25% of the total cost of services!
5. NASMB has extensive access to relevant information, which regularly provides to its members. Our association is among the first to receive various invitations from the organizers of exhibitions, business forums, seminars and conferences, which then invites its members. The Association cooperates with educational institutions in the country and abroad and has the latest information about business courses, Master and others, including information on obtaining scholarships and grants for education. Our association can also give you a recommendation for a scholarship, respectively, the chances to learn for free, as a member of the Association, sharply.
6. Association - partner of international donor organizations. Our Association has initiated and participated in several projects that received funding from international donors. At the expense of the projects of NASMB found opportunity to conduct free training for its members, organizes seminars and round tables for business to develop and produce relevant problems for the benefit of entrepreneurs on taxes, administrative procedures, etc.
Associations are different - sectoral, regional, etc., unite members with different interests and needs, therefore, each organization chooses itself - a member of any association (or maybe just a few?) It can become. Just when you choose, look at who has already chosen this association, our membership list speaks for itself.
Association, as well as commercial companies, appear and disappear. We have been working since 1993! And believe me, soon we are not going to disappear!
Our extensive experience, wide range of services, professionalism, organization of work and focus on your needs - a guarantee that we can be useful for you.
But! If you want to get something from the association, to her something and give away! That is to actively participate in her life, make a real contribution and leave a passive, parasitic position. Membership fee - this is not a tribute, and not charity! This means, on which work is organized by the association.
If you are a progressive and responsible employer, then our association will be your real tool in solving problems. |
