- The SBA Massachusetts District Office in Boston serves the entire state.
Funding the Massachusetts economy
Few places concentrate as much research, capital, and talent as Massachusetts. Kendall Square in Cambridge is widely regarded as the densest biotech cluster in the world, fed by MIT, Harvard, and a constant stream of pharmaceutical and life-science startups. Greater Boston layers on major hospital systems, a large financial-services and asset-management industry, and a deep technology base. West of the city, Worcester has become a biomanufacturing and healthcare hub, and Springfield anchors precision manufacturing and healthcare in the Pioneer Valley.

What the rules mean for you
Massachusetts has not enacted a commercial financing disclosure law, so there is no state-mandated standardized cost disclosure on merchant cash advances or other business financing. That said, Chapter 93A — the state’s unfair and deceptive practices statute — applies to business transactions and gives owners real leverage against misleading terms, including potential multiple damages and attorney’s fees. The burden is still on you to compare offers: look closely at the factor rate, total repayment, holdback percentage, and fees before signing. Hoss Capital only works with partners who present these terms transparently.
