Pima County is Southern Arizona's economic hub, anchored by Tucson and powered by two major economic engines: the University of Arizona and Raytheon Missiles & Defense. The university's world-class optics, astronomy, and biomedical research programs generate a steady stream of technology spin-offs, while Raytheon's massive defense operations support hundreds of contractors and subcontractors throughout the region.
Tucson's revitalized downtown, the growing Fourth Avenue and Congress Street corridors, and the expansion of the Tucson Tech Park all drive SBA lending demand. The city's lower cost of living compared to Phoenix makes it an attractive location for business owners, while the University of Arizona's 45,000+ students create consistent demand for restaurants, retail, and service businesses. SBA 7(a) and 504 programs are ideal for Pima County's diverse business landscape.
