Bring Your Business Into the Private

Public corporations and agencies have turned business into permission slips and endless compliance. A Private Membership Association (PMA) gives you back control — so you can serve, create, and grow without interference.

What is a PMA?

A PMA is a Private Membership Association formed under your constitutional right to associate freely. Instead of being bound by public codes, licenses, and mandates, you set the terms of your own private agreement with your members.

Think of it as moving your work from the “public domain” into a protected private space — where you and your members decide how business is done.

Who benefits from a PMA?

Every business owner who wants to stop asking permission.

Practitioners and entrepreneurs tired of agencies telling them how to operate
Educators and leaders who want to teach, guide, and serve without restrictions
Ministries and organizations protecting their faith-driven missions
Communities and clients who deserve choice without government interference

If you’ve ever felt boxed in by rules that make no sense, a PMA is the way out.
