Small Business Resource Center
Welcome to my Small Business Resource Center. As a former small business owner, I take the responsibility of helping small business owners cut through the red tape very seriously. I hope this small business resource center is of assistance to you and please don’t hesitate to contact my staff with specific questions.
Southern Arizona has a diverse and unique economy. Generating jobs and strengthening our economy is one of my top priorities in Congress. Small businesses are key to a strong Arizona economy. They create jobs and drive innovation. I strongly supports small businesses and will continue to work to promote growth and opportunity for all Southern Arizona businesses and workers. Below are some federal and state resources that might be helpful to those who own, or want to start, a small business in Arizona.
The following resources are available to businesses. If you need help with a federal agency you can contact Congressman Barber's constituent services team here. Please contact our office for assistance with any questions or problems you may have. You can also reach our Tucson office at (520) 881-3588 or Sierra Vista office at (520) 459-3115. Congressman Barber's office often helps constituents with issues related to their small businesses.
