Hartford, Conn. (WTIC Radio)-The state has launched a new on-line portal to make business transactions a one-stop shopping experience according to Governor Ned Lamont and Secretary of the State Denise Merrill.
Transactions can be accessed through Business.CT.gov.
“Since I came into office, one of our top goals has been to make sure each entrepreneur can spend less time with the government and more time growing their business and doing good for our residents,” Governor Lamont said. “This update is another incredible milestone in Connecticut’s modernization efforts to move toward an all-digital state government experience. Every business owner is required to register through the Secretary of the State, and this integration will take away one more burdensome extra step or login that they need to undertake to grow their business.”
“Small businesses are now better equipped to start, expand, and thrive in Connecticut,” Secretary Merrill said. “Starting a business comes with several risks and inherent challenges. Registering should not be one of them. I look forward to our state and our businesses growing together.”
“The modernization of state government happens one step at a time, and today we are announcing a very large and important step,” Connecticut Department of Administrative Services Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Josh Geballe said. “The prior business registry system, Concord, was one of the most antiquated and frustrating systems for Connecticut businesses and residents, and now it is finally gone. We are thrilled to launch its modern replacement as part of Business.CT.gov to provide a seamless, intuitive, and fast experience for our constituents that provides a much better first impression for anyone starting a business. These steps we’re taking to integrate services and break down state agency silos get us closer to Governor Lamont’s vision to be a fully digital government that is responsive to business needs.”
