New England and North Coast to host Small Business Month 2026

Small Business Month 2026 is set to begin on October 1, featuring an expanded collaboration between the New England Times and the North Coast Times. For the first time, the initiative will include the North Coast region alongside the New England area.

Local businesses can participate in free business profiles throughout the month to increase visibility across both regions. To mark the expansion into the North Coast, three Taste Test advertising packages, each valued at $1,000, will be awarded to local businesses via a random draw at the end of the promotion.
