Company Overview
The 360 Business Council is the umbrella organization for a growing family of initiatives that help businesses connect, engage, and grow. Together, these initiatives create a connected ecosystem that supports businesses through every stage of growth — from building capacity and accessing capital to expanding markets and strengthening strategic partnerships.
As the operator of these initiatives, the 360 Business Council serves businesses of all sizes, as well as corporations, government agencies, and partners committed to their growth. MMSDC, which for almost 50 years has connected businesses to opportunity and today supports $56 billion in annual economic output, remains a cornerstone of the family and continues its mission to ensure everyone is included in this country's economic opportunities. This integrated approach makes it easier for businesses to access the relationships, expertise, and opportunities they need through one connected ecosystem.
Why We Evolved
For nearly 50 years, we've helped Michigan businesses connect to opportunity. What began as a focus on supplier connections has grown into something larger: an integrated ecosystem linking businesses to capital, contracts, workforce solutions, trusted advisors, and new markets.
The 360 Business Council reflects that evolution. By bringing a growing family of initiatives under one organization, we make it easier for businesses to find the right resource at the right time - and to build the relationships that drive long-term growth.
Growth Doesn't Happen in Isolation
Businesses don't grow through a single program or one opportunity. They grow through the right relationships, resources, and strategic support.
That's why the 360 Business Council brings together businesses, corporations, capital providers, public agencies, and industry partners in one connected ecosystem. Rather than offering a single service, we connect businesses to the people, programs, and opportunities that help them move forward.
Whether you're seeking capital, pursuing contracts, strengthening your workforce, expanding into new markets, or building strategic partnerships, we're here to help you connect, engage, and grow.
