The federal government defines a small business as one with 500 employees or less. According to these government standards, National Merchant Center itself is considered a small business, even though we process billions in transactions annually. And we are happy about it. Being a small business enables us to know our customers, personalize our service, and provide the kind of partnership support that we have enjoyed from institutions like Wells Fargo^® Bank, Visa^®, and MasterCard^® over the past ten plus years.

Serving any small business requires respect for the limitations on their time. That means that those of us privileged to serve growing companies must have a high level of efficiency and effectiveness to deliver our services and products on time, effectively, and in a simple format.

At National Merchant Center, we pride ourselves on both the accuracy and user friendliness of our reporting system. We enable any business to spot a trend and adjust their operations, sales, or marketing accordingly.

 

That’s why we are so honored to have been selected as the Official Processor for Business Matchmaking, the nation’s leading small business procurement and training initiative. We help bring together thousands of small business sellers with prospective buyers from government agencies and many of the country’s leading corporations. We work closely with the outstanding counselor corps of SCORE™, the resource partner of the US Small Business Administration. We share sponsorship responsibilities with Aflac^® and Federal Express^®, American Airlines^® and HP^® and other great companies dedicated to helping small business succeed as the engine driving our economy.

We have also been able to partner with two significant emerging markets – Hispanic owned companies and Veteran owned firms. As the Official Processor of the The Latino Coalition, the highly respected umbrella group of Hispanic business leaders, we provide training and product introductions along with pricing advantages.

Of the 25 million veterans alive today more than 3 ½ million are “vetrepreneurs” small business owners building on a dream. We have recently partnered with Veterans Corporation, the congressionally created group dedicated to helping those veterans with their own companies. No group of business leaders deserve more attention and respect than those who have worn the uniform of our country.

Hector Barreto, former administrator of the US Small Business Administration and now Chairman of the Latino Coalition and a member of the National Merchant Center Board of Directors, often says that small business wants the same thing as any big business – more business.
