No!   WE ARE NOT A TRADE ASSOCIATION.   

Trade Associations are also known as industry trade groups, business associations,  sector associations, or industry bodies. Those organizations are founded and funded by businesses that operate in a specific industry. Although operates within the building maintenance, supply, and related industries, FacilityAXS is not a non-profit organization governed by bylaws and directed by officers who are also members.

FacilityAXS is a for-profit organization committed to helping other for-profits become more profitable.  As such, we will actively pursue membership in each of the Trade Associations representing the Interest of our Members.


What is it about the FacilityAXS Business Directory that makes it unique from other similar platforms?

The latest reports show that there are 150+ local online directors in existence today, each providing similar services. Each of those directories is structured with either a "Generic" or "Industry Specific" focus.  While FacilityAXS has offerings of its own of a general nature (e.g., website development), its core business objective is to promote and advance all small-to-medium-sized businesses, regardless of industry.  FacilityAXS empowers its membership base to compete more effectively with the larger more prominent players in their field.
