Gov. Katie Hobbs announced Thursday the state has launched the Arizona Microbusiness Loan Program.
The program established by the Legislature last year sets aside $5 million dollars in loan funding accessible to businesses with five or fewer employees. Each borrower could receive up to $50,000 in loans.
Partners with the program provide lending education. The funds are available statewide, including in tribal communities.
