Our Mission
The Online Business Association was created to bring clarity, integrity, and support to the often-unregulated online business world.
Founded by Steve Fowles and Alison Goodwin, who both have decades of experience helping businesses scale sustainably around the world, the Online Business Association was born out of a shared frustration with the unethical practices and misinformation that dominate the online space.
Too often, entrepreneurs are misled by promises of quick wins or left navigating a maze of conflicting and costly advice. Steve and Alison knew there had to be a better way. The Online Business Association is their answer: a trusted hub where business owners can access ethical, compliant, and actionable tools, training, and resources to grow their businesses sustainably.
Their mission goes beyond growth – they’re here to challenge the status quo, ensuring businesses operate with transparency, compliance, and a long-term vision. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to strengthen your foundations, the Online Business Association is committed to helping you build a business that’s not only successful but principled and enduring.
