Why The Collective
A first-of-its-kind collective of small business owners, pooling power to secure better funding -
Small Businesses, United.
We aren’t waiting for a seat at the table. We’re building our own — together.
Going at It Alone Is Expensive
Traditional lenders deny over 80% of small business loan applications. And the "alternatives"? Often predatory, short-term, and stacked with fees.
This isn't about bad businesses. It's about bad leverage.
MiltonHaines is organizing 10,000+ small businesses to apply for funding together — so we can negotiate like a franchise, not beg like a startup.

Why Now?
We're launching with our first 10,000 members. The more we grow, the stronger our bargaining power becomes — and the more benefits we unlock for our members.
