2026 National Small Business Week is May 3 – 9, 2026. National Small Business Week recognizes the contributions of America’s 36 million small businesses – which comprise 99% of all businesses in America, create two out of every three new jobs, and employ about half of America’s workforce. Nominate a Central MA small business at sba.gov/nsbw.
To be considered for a Massachusetts District Office Award category (Veteran, Woman, Young, Family, Manufacturer, Homebased, etc.), review the instructions here.
All nominations must be submitted electronically by 7 a.m. ET December 8, 2025. National awards will be presented during a ceremony in Washington, D.C., next May during National Small Business Week. Questions? Contact norman.eng@sba.gov.
