What is BALLE?

BALLE stands for Business Alliance for Local Living Economies.
It is an international movement in which local, independently-owned businesses are working together to build sustainable and vibrant communities.

Why is BALLE the fastest growing business movement in North America?
Because the time for dynamic local economies is right now! We believe in the power of local independent businesses to transform communities, build local self-reliance, align commerce with the common good, and bring transparency, accountability, and a caring human face to the marketplace.
