Resource Links

The ASBA Resources section lists essential links to community partners and agencies for visitors and business owners to get answers to business questions and find out about programs to help you get to the next level. Many agencies and organizations conduct business courses and sessions on-site at ASBA to guide members and offer additional assistance. This is a virtual one stop shop for any business.

Entrepreneurial Center

ASBA’s Entrepreneurial Center launched in 2005 at the Phoenix office location as an additional resource. Members can rent temporary or permanent offices or cubicle space, available hourly, daily, month-to-month and annually. Offices and cubicles come complete with a telephone, computer with high speed Internet access, and a shared copy machine/printer.

The center also offers conference rooms starting at just $15 per hour. These are convenient for meetings, workshops and presentations. There is a work center for copying, binding and faxing needs (fees may apply.)

For those who are not in need of actual office space or equipment, ASBA provides a Virtual Office Suite option. This program allows for the use of our address for home-based businesses or others to use rather than a home address or P.O. Box. Other benefits include incoming and out-going mail service, access to the copy center, free meeting room usage and a discount on administrative services. Nominal monthly fee applies.

Another great advantage to the ASBA Entrepreneurial Center is our Business Resource Center (BRC). This onsite resource library provides a variety of information in various formats, such as flyers, current newspapers, books and other business resources. A television, VCR, and DVD player are available for all media resources in the BRC. In addition, the BRC includes a telephone, computer with high speed Internet access and a color printer for research needs. It is the perfect place to relax before an important meeting in a pleasant atmosphere.
