One of our first programs is to help local entrepreneurs create businesses that will help them bring their ideas to life and support their families. Starting a business in Arizona is not as hard as one might imagine. It takes a little bit of money, some time filling out paperwork, and getting everything submitted to the proper agencies. Overall, it isn’t extremely complex and getting established as a legal business entity is a process that almost anyone can do without spending hundreds or thousands on a lawyer.
Our aim is to be a local resource to help people get their individual process sorted out so that they can legally work and earn income through improving their communities.
