Small Business Assistance Programs
Management Technical Assistance to Help Your Business Grow
Starting or expanding a business can be very challenging. Success requires
good planning and sound business management skills. In 1994, the Phoenix City
Council established the Small Business Assistance Program to help small business
owners address such challenges and provide a one stop shop of technical and
financial assistance.
Services Provided by MTA
The Management Technical Assistance (MTA) Program offers small business owners
the opportunity to work with experienced consultants at no cost. This is made
possible by a Community Development Block Grant sponsored by the U.S. Housing
and Urban Development Department.
