Manchester Business Association
The Manchester Business Association (MBA) was formed in early 2017 as a grassroots organization to originally strengthen communication and collaboration but quickly evolved into a unified organization dedicated to supporting local businesses and the broader community.
Today, the MBA is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit organization that represents and advocates for Manchester-area businesses and organizations. Our mission extends beyond marketing — we actively support economic vitality, community engagement, and destination development throughout the region.
The MBA works to strengthen the local economy by promoting member businesses, fostering partnerships, and producing events that drive visitation and commerce. Through signature events, collaborative initiatives, and strategic marketing efforts — including our website, social media channels, e-newsletters, and regional partnerships — we help position Manchester as a vibrant place to live, work, visit, and do business.
By connecting businesses with resources, visibility, and opportunities, the MBA plays an active role in shaping a thriving and resilient Manchester community.
