Home-based businesses build Maricopa economy
f Maricopa seems to have a lot of home-based business, well, it does.
More than 370, in fact.
According to the city’s Economic Development Department, 30 percent of Maricopa’s businesses are run out of a home.
On a national perspective, that is not much. Numbers from the Small Business Administration show 52 percent of small businesses in the United States are home-based. The SBA considers any business with fewer than 500 employees to be “small,” which takes in the vast majority of companies in Maricopa.
