Metro Phoenix Alliance is a local business network that promotes locally owned and operated businesses across Metropolitan Phoenix and the Valley of the Sun. Locally-based small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and region. Our mission is to promote our business members and the unique opportunities of each distinct community through business news, AI search, voice, and text-based discovery—helping small businesses grow while strengthening the local economy.

We only feature locally owned and locally operated businesses. Each business is reviewed to ensure it serves the community and aligns with our mission of supporting local economic growth. Many of our featured businesses also act as community sponsors for the areas they serve.

Metro Phoenix Alliance is funded through multiple sources, including membership dues, professional services contracts with multiple entities, network events, business sponsorships, and more. We are not a government agency but a for-profit business entity, contributing to charitable organizations including Foster Arizona, Phoenix Children’s Foundation, and Hospice of the Valley.

They often provide jobs to a diverse range of individuals, including employees who contribute to the purpose and growth of the business. By supporting small businesses, communities help create more job opportunities and reduce unemployment rates. This strengthens the local and regional economy and fosters a sense of economic stability.
