Maryland Business Express is a digital “one-stop” where business
owners can register a new business, create legal entities, create
trade names, establish state tax accounts, obtain certified copies,
and file annual personal property returns.
“Being recognized for our efforts in the government to business
transaction category only further echoes Governor Hogan’s promise
of being open for business here in Maryland,” said Sean Powell,
director of the department of assessments and taxation. “Our
department has worked tirelessly over the last year with work
groups of local stakeholders to pinpoint exactly what was needed in
a portal. This national recognition demonstrates
Maryland's commitment to transforming government services
and ensuring they work at the speed of business.”
More than 75 percent of all sole proprietorships and general
partnerships are now filed online with more than half of all
filings occurring outside of regular business hours. This
reinforces the importance of having a business registration system
that is accessible any time of the day or night.
Prior to Maryland Business Express, entrepreneurs and business
owners were subjected to a lengthy manual paper application process
that required in-person visits to multiple agencies and took 10
weeks for the approval process. Now, through Maryland Business
Express, approval times have been reduced to one day.
Maryland Business Express reduces the points-of-entry
eliminating the time, expense, and risk of managing conventional
paper and postage registration.
Kyung Endres from True Pancea stated, “It was very easy, very
well laid out, and the results were extremely quick. This site has
taken the headache out of the registration process.”
It is through services like Maryland Business Express that the
state of Maryland creates efficiency, not only for the businesses
who use the application, but also within the state agencies.
Maryland Business Express is a collaborative effort between the
Departments of Assessments and Taxation, Commerce, Information
Technology, and the Comptroller of Maryland.
