Business Retention and Expansion Program (BRE)
Employer Visitation Program
New jobs don't come from just outside a community; rather, they are created by
existing businesses. In fact, most economists say up to 80 or 90 percent of
all new jobs come from internal growth.
Small Business Division staff conducts visitations and interviews to local
businesses to gather industry specific information, inform them about city
services and address their needs.
BRE interview results provide tactical and direct assistance to businesses
that are expanding, in need of
financial or management
technical assistance, workforce
development, or those at risk of leaving the city of Phoenix. A new portfolio
management system creates a foundation for all participating businesses to
receive ongoing assistance, which, in turn, should help them stay, grow and
expand with our community.
