Our Story

In 1996, Moe Somani recognized the need to service the growing SOHO (small office home office) marketplace. Specializing in the delivery of unique benefits, he worked with corporate service providers to create special savings programs on key business essentials previously not available to small business. The SOHO™ Membership was born providing small business an affordable way to access group benefits and corporate rates to help them save time and money.

In 1997, with a growing demand by small business to market and network, SOHO expanded its services to including small business events and conferences which allowed small businesses to connect with business professionals, executives and entrepreneurs and expand their network of contacts. In 1997, along with various busines networking receptions, the Annual SOHO Small Business Conference was born to provide valuable tools, resources and networking opportunities during Small Business Week.

In 2000, SOHO continued to expanded it services to include the SME (small and medium size enterprise) marketplace, again recognizing the needs of these businesses and their people, that were not being addressed in the marketplace. The annual conference changed it's name to the Annual SOHO-SME Business Conference & Expo. Going into its 9th year, this special event during Small Business Week is recognized as the premiere event for small and medium size businesses,
