On Thursday, Gov. Doug Ducey announced the launch of a one-stop business portal for entrepreneurs to grow their business.
Launched in partnership with the Arizona Department of Administration, the program aims to make the process for expanding or starting a business simpler by bringing the process to a centralized site.
The Governor’s Office says the system is secure, digital and personalized, providing guided planning checklists, a streamlined application process, accelerated processing time, integrated customer support and an automated cost estimator. Entrepreneurs can expect new additions in the upcoming months to the system including managing out of state and foreign businesses, as well as the integration of state licensing entities, cities and counties.
The Department of Administration led the Business One Stop consolidation, bringing together the Secretary of State, Arizona Corporation Commission, Department of Revenue and the Arizona Commerce Authority to build the new application. The initiative was championed by Rep. Jeff Weninger in the 2019 Legislative Session.
