    Goals / Remit

    The European Small Business Alliance (ESBA) is a non-party political group, which cares for small business entrepreneurs and the self-employed and represents them through targeted EU advocacy and profiling activities.

    In 2023, the European Small Business Alliance celebrated its 25th anniversary as a Brussels based pan-European body representing micro and small companies from across the EU. Today, ESBA is one of the largest organisations based on voluntary membership in Europe. Through its direct membership, associate membership and cooperation agreements, the Alliance now represents almost one million small businesses and covers 35 European countries. The two main pillars in ESBA's lobbying are the two main pressing issues for SMEs across Europe: Access to Finance and Better Regulation.
