Phoenix Small Business Toolbox
Idea Category: Jobs and Entrepreneurship
Problem
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, one of the hardest-hit groups in Phoenix was small businesses. While many are recovering and returning back to post-pandemic levels of business, some are still struggling. There was a plethora of resources available provided from the city, state, and federal governments, but there was neither a centralized place to find those nor an effective way to communicate which resources worked best for certain scenarios.
Solution
Phoenix decided to act and established the Small Business Toolbox. It is a website that convened all of the resources from different public and private sector entities, so small business can access their resources for assistance in one place.
