Starting and operating a business in New York City can be challenging. Between
raising capital, finding space, and organizing internally, entrepreneurs and
business owners do not have time to spare. With the launch of NYC Business Express, doing
business in New York City
is now easier. The City's new online tool reduces paperwork and time
while providing easy access to critical information needed to run a business in
New York City.
The NYC Business Express Incentives Estimator can even help businesses
determine the City, State and Federal incentives for which they may
qualify.
Before the launch of NYC Business Express, an entrepreneur
had to contact the City, State, and Federal governments separately to learn
what would be necessary to start a business. NYC Business Express
consolidates information from all levels of government in one location.
By using the NYC Business Express Wizard, entrepreneurs can answer questions
that set up a business scenario. NYC Business Express then generates a
customized list of licenses, permits, taxes, and regulations that are typically
needed, as well as information about where to apply, links to application
materials, and contact information where applicants can access help with
applying. For some business licenses, permits, and certifications,
business owners can even apply directly through the site.
The tools that NYC Business Express offers are not limited
to startup entrepreneurs. As of today, there are thirty-three licenses
that businesses can apply for directly through the website and more are
continually being added. Operating businesses will also soon be able use
their NYC Business Express account to manage their relationship with the City,
enabling them to view everything from the status of their applications to previous
violations. NYC Business Express is a user-friendly portal into
government that anyone can understand.
