About The Business Council of New York State

The Business Council of New York State, Inc. is New York=s largest broad-based business group. The Business Council represents the interests of large and small employers through the state with more than 1.2 million workers.

The Business Council formed in 1980 when two of the state=s most powerful business groups joined forces - Associated Industries of New York State, Inc. (founded in 1914) and the Empire State Chamber of Commerce (founded in 1945).  The purpose of The Business Council is to serve as an advocate for employers in the state of New York and to work towards creating a healthy economic climate.  The Business Council has been effective throughout the decades and has successfully championed tax cuts, ensured sufficient and affordable energy capacity, won important workers compensation reforms, and achieved many other policy victories designed to improve New York’s business climate.

The Business Council provides its members much more than outstanding lobbying results; it also offers group insurance to members that are underwritten by name carriers (Aetna and First Ameritas), a workers compensation trust for manufacturers, and a wide range of discount products that allow members to save on their cost of doing business.
