Who we are
Welcome to The Jamaica Business Society Group Limited (JBS) we are a non-profit social club for business owners on the island of Jamaica.

We are a cooperative society, which is regulated under the Cooperative Societies Act of 1950. We follow the regulations set out by the Department of Cooperative and Friendly Societies in the Ministry of Industry, Investment, and Commerce, and we are governed by a Board (Management Committee) which is comprised of 14 Business Owners, 4 Affiliates, and 3 Youth Business Advocates.

We Are here to Help
We help to develop small businesses
The society was created as a home base for all businesses. A sanctuary where business people are free to express themselves openly and to learn from and make mistakes without fear. A place where they can be with other business professionals who understand what they are experiencing and how challenging being in business can be. The society’s aim is to inspire, and welcome talented people who are inspired by business ownership, but who are on the outside looking in, as accessing the required knowledge of business development is scattered and tedious to obtain so they may prematurely give up on their dreams.
Financial Support
Small businesses financial support
We are fully dedicated to ensuring that all our members experience financial growth. So we help each other with sales management, advertising, marketing, international trade, peer counseling and much more. We also assist with the filing of taxes and the recouping of returns. In order to accomplish all of this, we are affiliated with most local and a few international financial institutions, including all local government offices, this is to ensure easier access for example to grants and loans for all our members.
The society also assists with the development of all the essential paperwork needed for the efficient running and management of a business, including: Contracts, Tenders, Business Plans and Proposals, Reports, Brochures, Booklets, Receipts, Nondisclosure Agreements, and many more.
