Description

New to business filings? Join us for an introduction to business filings in Arizona.  We will share information that you need to become acquainted with filing on behalf of businesses, including the capacity in which you intend to represent each business.  We will describe the relationship between the Arizona Corporation Commission and the Secretary of State, as well as discuss the other agencies (state and federal) that are integral to the comprehensive representation of businesses.  We will untangle the various filing types by category (starting, maintaining, and closing) and discuss key components necessary for successful filings.  We will also share resources and best practices with you to help new business owners grow, maintain, and protect their business. We will wrap up with an introduction to Arizona Business Connect for all your filing needs.
