Page 1


Debbie Hann is the interim chief executive officer of the Arizona Small Business Association and brings more than 20 years of corporate and small business knowledge to the organization through her previous roles with a Fortune 500 services company and owning her own successful small business.

Hann’s role with ASBA blends her significant experience running operations, executing strategy and building meaningful partnerships.

Today, ASBA thrives as one of the largest nonprofit trade associations in Arizona, supporting small businesses through an active and connected community of small business owners.

The Power of Small Business

Each year, the Business Resources Guide offers a timely reminder of the critical role small businesses play in shaping Ariz ona’s economy and communities. These businesses are more than just a part of the economy; they are innovators, job creators and neighborhood anchors that bring energy and opportunity to every corner of our state.

Arizona’s small businesses make up more than 99% of all businesses in the state and employ nearly half of our private-sector workforce. They’re responsible for two-thirds of new jobs and are often the first to respond to local needs. From main-street shops to fast-growing startups, small businesses reflect the ingenuity and determination that define our state’s entrepreneurial spirit.

Their power lies not only in economic output but in their adaptability and impact. Small business owners face challenges head-on, whether it’s accessing capital, navigating supply chains or building a skilled workforce, and they do so with grit, creativity and heart. They show us what’s possible when ideas are supported and opportunities are shared.

This guide shines a light on that spirit, featuring the people and organizations working every day to help small businesses grow and thrive. The services and solutions listed here support business owners at every stage, providing a foundation of knowledge, mentorship and community that makes long-term success possible.

At the Arizona Small Business Association, we’ve made it a priority to reach businesses where they are, both in their journey and geographically. One way we’re doing that is through SCALE (Strategic Coaching for Advancing Local Entrepreneurs), our new program in partnership with the Arizona Commerce Authority. Through statewide educational roadshows and immersive coaching opportunities, SCALE is helping entrepreneurs in rural and underserved communities build stronger, more resilient businesses. It’s about expanding access, lifting local talent and creating lasting impact.

As you explore this year’s guide, I hope you’re inspired by the innovation, perseverance and partnership that define Arizona’s small business community. Whether you’re just starting out or scaling for growth, the tools and connections you need are within reach.

Because when small businesses succeed, Arizona succeeds.

Benefit Commerce Group, an Alera Group Company

Small business is the heart of the American economy!

At Benefit Commerce Group (BCG), we are committed to supporting small businesses and bringing them the same types of employee benefits programs that larger companies utilize— and saving them money.

There is a myth that there’s no difference among benefits brokers for small groups…that none of them really has anything different to offer. That is simply not true.

At BCG, we have many options for small businesses to help them save money and better compete for talent.

And now we have exciting news for small businesses: You CAN get the best medical care and save money at the same time!

We have an exclusive program that gives workers and their families access to topperforming doctors—at a lower cost.

It’s based on proven data science that shows that if you go to one of the best doctors, you will receive better medical care, with fewer complications, faster recovery and at a lower cost. Isn’t that what we all want?

While this program has attracted many large employer customers…Apple being among them…BCG has implemented this model effectively for smaller employers—to save money and improve healthcare for employees.

BCG has been saving money for small businesses for many years, and we have a long list of clients who have saved an average of $1,500 per employee in the first year. At BCG, we never stop innovating to serve them better.

We thank the small businesses of Arizona for keeping our economy vibrant and growing!
