WHEN YOU BRING YOUR COMPANY TO PRESCOTT,
YOU WON'T REGRET LEAVING BUSINESS AS USUAL BEHIND.
Why Prescott?
When you live and work in the big city, the harsh realities of high taxes, exhausting commutes, layers of bureaucracy, endless red tape, and other restraints have simply become business as usual.
But when you move your business to Prescott, you’ll quickly discover all the reasons to love doing Business Unusual. Here are just a few.

A City that Wants
You to Succeed
In Prescott, you’ll find a dedicated City Council and Chamber of Commerce that truly want you to succeed—and will do whatever it takes to help you grow your business. From permits and permissions to staffing, strategy, and everything in between, the city can get your business up and running far quicker than the metro you’re used to.
Work. Life. Balance.
It’s something we’d all love to have, but it’s hard to find it just anywhere. Good thing Prescott isn’t just anywhere.
Here, our breathtaking lakes and landscapes turn hiking, biking, horseback riding, paddle boarding, kayaking, and more into everyday excursions, not just weekend getaways. Lively arts, unique culture, rich heritage, and compelling charm are found at every turn along our downtown streets. And when the sun finally sets, a thriving modern nightlife awaits on the historic Whiskey Row.
Prescott is truly home to people who do what they love, in a place they love doing it. Learn more about the countless ways to play as hard as you work at Experienceprescott.com.
A Four-Season Lifestyle
There's more to Arizona than just desert heat. From fresh springs and lush summers to crisp falls and cozy winters, Prescott's beautiful seasonality makes balancing work and life even easier.
Unplug When You Want.
Connect When You Need.
Prescott lets you indulge in a remote mountain lifestyle for as long as you’d like. But that doesn’t mean you can’t access the rest of the world whenever you please.
The Prescott Regional Airport can quickly bring you to popular metro areas with an efficient and stress-free terminal experience less than 20 minutes from downtown Prescott.
Rather hop in the car? A comprehensive network of major highways and interstates surround Prescott, connecting you in every direction.
