Comparing the benefits and costs of each membership 


The Business Prime Duo and Essentials plans offer small business basics with the added bonus of our Business Prime Rewards program. Business Prime Rewards allows businesses in the U.S. the opportunity to earn rewards points while shopping on Amazon Business. Points can be redeemed on future eligible orders at checkout. Business Prime Rewards is only available to customers on either the Business Prime Duo or Business Prime Essentials plans. 

 

Depending on the size and scale of your business, features like the ability to extend Business Prime benefits to additional users like Guided Buying and Spend Visibility can be a huge help when it comes to simplifying operations. If you need to extended Business Prime benefits to 2-3 team members, you’ll want to consider Essentials. If you have an even larger team, the Small plan may be the right fit for you with up to 10 users. 

 

Having a larger team creates a need to simplify operations. That’s why our Essentials and Small plans come with added features like Guided Buying and Spend Visibility. With access to Guided Buying, you can create buying policies that automatically direct your team members to preferred purchasing behavior, eliminating the guesswork and streamlining buying on a growing team. With Spend Visibility, you get a clear dashboard view of spending patterns across your business, which can help identify areas to save money and forecast financial decision making. 

 

To determine if different membership levels are worth it for your business, compare costs against the benefits and services provided to ensure that you're getting the most out of your investment. Larger memberships come with more in-depth capabilities that may not be necessary or cost efficient for a smaller business or solopreneur.

 

If you’re doing it all for your business, we recommend the Duo plan. This membership is a cost-effective solution for sole proprietors who don't need additional users, but still want access to exclusive discounts, free shipping, and other benefits. Ultimately, it’s important to consider both the short-term and long-term financial impacts of each membership and whether these benefits will offset the higher cost.


Making the right choice for your business


When choosing the right Business Prime membership for your small business, it's important to match the membership with your business needs and financial goals. This decision isn't just about selecting a plan; it's about investing in the growth and efficiency of your business. Start by clearly defining your business's current requirements and future goals. Then consider the additional benefits each plan offers and whether they're worth the expense for your business.
