Associations giving industry support
Industry associations play an important role in providing a voice for individual businesses. They offer educational support, and can also help your small business with:
- collective bargaining
- recommended retail pricing
- membership restrictions
- information sharing guidelines

Members of an industry association can share information, discuss issues, develop standards, and establish rules for best practice within their industry. This is usually behaviour that benefits businesses and consumers. However you do need to be careful that actions are not anti-competitive conduct.
