Upspring is an active online business community where businesses come together to make connections using groups that you or that others create. You can ask for advice, provide support, or exchange leads with others in the business community.

You can create a private or public group. There are two types of private groups: a private group where all Upspring members can view the posts and images; and another private group in which the posts and images are viewable only by members within the group. With private groups, people outside of the Upspring community cannot view the posts or images. With public groups, all posts, images, and member listings are viewable by the public. Public groups get maximum exposure.

The free basic account members can join any group that interests them; however, only premium and storefront members are allowed to create groups.
