As thousands of entrepreneurs across Arizona have discovered, access to expert guidance can be a game-changer for small businesses. The Arizona Commerce Authority’s Small Business Boot Camp, celebrating its third anniversary, offers just that through free educational webinars.
PHOENIX, AZ (April 27, 2023) – Originally conceived as a temporary six-week resource to assist businesses during the pandemic, the Small Business Boot Camp has evolved into a permanent fixture for Arizona’s entrepreneurs. Since its inception on April 27, 2020, it has become a cornerstone for small business development in the state. Recently, the program expanded to include Spanish-language sessions to better serve the community’s needs.
So far, the Boot Camp has conducted 276 sessions featuring insights from over 220 experts, drawing more than 14,800 participants from every county in Arizona. Its substantial archive of previous sessions is accessible via the program’s Content Library, providing a valuable resource for ongoing learning.
The Small Business Boot Camp has become an invaluable resource to help Arizona small businesses reach their goals,
