Who we are
The Arizona MBDA Business Center is funded by the Minority Business Development Agency, U.S. Department of Commerce and locally operated by the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.
The Arizona MBDA Business Center accelerates the growth and global competitiveness of small businesses. We offer access to credit, capital, markets, expert consultation, and vital resources.
MBDA’s vision: Economic prosperity for all American business enterprises.
Important Notice: Center Operations Concluding June 30, 2025
As of June 30, 2025, the Arizona MBDA Business Center will cease operations following the termination of our federal funding, per the Executive Order 14238 and subsequent grant closure notification. We are currently in closeout mode and are no longer able to accept new clients.
We remain incredibly proud of the many businesses we’ve had the privilege to serve and support. While the future of the MBDA remains uncertain, we are prepared to resume services should federal directives change.
In the meantime, our operator, the Arizona Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, remains committed to supporting Arizona’s business community. For business resources or business assistance, please contact:
