At LightCorp, we’ve always believed in the power of small business. We were founded here in Michigan in 1986, and nearly 40 years later, our roots still run deep. That’s why we’re proud to share that we are now officially certified with the Small Business Association of Michigan (SBAM).
What SBAM Certification Means
SBAM is Michigan’s largest organization focused solely on supporting small businesses. Membership connects us to a statewide network of entrepreneurs and innovators who are shaping the future of Michigan’s economy. For LightCorp, certification is more than a badge—it’s recognition that we are part of a community committed to advancing Michigan-made products, local jobs, and small business success.
Why It Matters
For our customers, partners, and employees, SBAM certification is another way we demonstrate our values:
- Credibility you can count on. Third-party validation adds to the trust we’ve built through quality, reliability, and on-time delivery.
- Local commitment. With 60% of our suppliers located within 75 miles of our Grand Haven factory and 90% based in the U.S., being part of SBAM underscores our dedication to Michigan’s economy.
- A stronger voice. SBAM advocates for policies that protect and empower small businesses. By joining, we’re lending our voice to ensure companies like ours—and the people and communities we support—continue to thrive.
- Community connection. SBAM certification makes it easier to collaborate with other like-minded businesses, opening doors to new opportunities and partnerships.
Looking Ahead
For us, “Good Energy” means more than products—it means contributing to the vitality of our state, our communities, and our people. Joining SBAM is another step in strengthening those connections and reaffirming the values that have always defined us. To learn more about the SBAM, visit their website at www.sbam.org.
