Business Memberships

In recognition of the integral role of local, sustainable businesses, Simply Living established a Business Membership class in 2012.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your refund policy?

Membership purchases are generally not refundable unless there is an issue such as accidental payment or double charging. Our new system does not engage in automatic membership renewals so there should be no surprise billing.

Can I change the name on the membership?

Yes, and someone else can also buy a membership for you. Please note that for single-employee businesses, the membership will go under the name of your business, not your name, but the two will be linked in our system.

What payment methods do you accept?

Our form takes payments on any major credit card or through direct transfer from your bank. We no longer accept PayPal payments for memberships, but your membership will also not automatically renew as PayPal used to do.

Can I upgrade my membership later?

Yes, you can upgrade your business membership at any time. The higher the level of Business Membership, the more benefits you will receive.
