Economic Impact and Statistics
Studies consistently show that Massachusetts citizens receive a strong return on their investment by utilizing the Massachusetts Small Business Development Center. The program’s success is directly related to the quality of our professional staff and partnerships between the U.S. Small Business Administration, the Massachusetts Office of Business Development, college and university sponsors—led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Isenberg School of Management—and a wide range of supporters in the business community.
