The foundation of life in the Phoenix "Valley of the Sun" is business. Founded as a cattle ranch for hungry miners to the north, the area was the center of the "3 C's - Cattle, Cotton and Copper" triumvirate that built Arizona. Now, the area is home to almost every major corporation in the world, many of which have their headquarters here.

The environment for business has been carefully nurtured to provide a place where any enterprise can grow and thrive. An ample workforce, moderate cost of living, convenient transportation and favorable tax structure make the Valley ideal for business.
