Arizona Business Grants...Sort Of

This post would read so much better if the state of Arizona were actually giving away business grants in the form of cash. Instead, they're giving away grants in the form of a free, one-year membership to the Arizona Small Businesses Association (ASBA).

If you live in Arizona, your interest level may have just been shattered. However, it still may be worth looking in to. An ASBA membership has many benefits that can help local businesses - benefits that potentially can be better and bigger than a cash award.

For instance, members get access to the only guaranteed issue group health plan in Arizona (for groups as small as one); weekly networking opportunities; business education (via workshops and seminars); and more.

If interested, act fast. Free memberships to ASBA will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis until all grant dollars have been depleted.
