Arizona SSBCI Technical Assistance Grant Program
The Arizona Commerce Authority (ACA) manages the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) Technical Assistance (TA) Program for socially and economically disadvantaged businesses (SEDI-owned businesses) and VSBs (very small businesses) that are applying for, preparing to apply or have previously applied for capital from a SSBCI supported program or other eligible federal or state program.
This is not a loan program; the program’s outcome is to prepare Arizona small businesses for either debt or equity funding by providing legal, accounting and financial advisory services. Examples of these services include:
- Financial Advisory Services
- Banking Relationships and Loan Preparation
- Financial Literacy
- Business Plans
- Pitch Decks
- Funding Readiness Workshops
- Accounting Services
- Audits, Financial Statements or Business Records
- Financial Records
- Tax Services
- Accounting Practices
- Legal Assistance Services

- Licensing, Filings and Certifications
- Contracts
- Venture Capital Agreements
- Transfer of Ownership

If you are seeking any of these services, please complete the SSBCI TA form and a member of the ACA will be in touch regarding next steps.
