ABOUT
ISSBA

The Ipswich & Suffolk Small Business Association
(ISSBA)

Proud organisers of the Anglia Business Exhibition

ISSBA was launched over 30 years ago and is still the only organisation of its kind in East
Anglia supporting small and start up businesses.
A not for profit organisation, ISSBA provides a forum for the mutual support of small
businesses whilst encouraging medium and bigger businesses to get involved. An informal
organisation of small business owners and a selection of like- minded business people,
it is funded purely by members’ subscriptions and organised by an elected Committee of
volunteers from local businesses.
Now in its’ 21st year, the exhibition has grown from strength to strength. The exhibition
originally launched as the ISSBA Trade Fair, rebranded as the Suffolk Business Exhibition
to reflect its partnership with Suffolk Chamber of Commerce several years ago, and now
reaches across the East of England as the Anglia Business Exhibition – the largest and best
established event of its kind.
ISSBA also organises a varied selection of networking meetings and other events for its
members throughout the year, with the annual exhibition being the showcase event.
Our three-year membership offers the chance to take advantage of early bird bookings
at future exhibitions, as do the Sponsorship Packages detailed in this brochure. You don’t
need to be a member to attend our events, just book and pay on the door. To be the first to
hear the news or for further information about membership/exhibitor options contact our
