The New England Business Association is a not-for-profit organization based in Burlington, Massachusetts, that serves small and mid-sized businesses in the six-state New England region. Originally founded in 1938 as the Smaller Business Association of New England, it has historically functioned as a collective voice for small business interests and provided practical information to help owners grow their companies. Since rebranding in 2017, the association has expanded its mission to enhance member support, resources, and networking opportunities, including initiatives to improve access to capital and offer exclusive rates through a preferred vendor program. The organization emphasizes active member participation through a broad committee structure and has roots in chapters across Massachusetts and Rhode Island, reflecting its focus on regional business development and collaboration.
