ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- (Business Wire)
The State of Maryland recently released an updated version of the
popular Central
Business Licensing and Registration Portal (CBL), offering new
features as well as improvements to existing functionality. Maryland’s
CBL Portal was initially launched in early 2013 as part of Governor
O’Malley’s Maryland Made Easy initiative to make conducting
business in Maryland easier. The CBL Portal is a virtual “one-stop shop”
where business owners can register a new business, create legal
entities, file trade names and establish state tax accounts. The CBL
Portal is available through the State’s official website, www.maryland.gov
or through the Maryland Made Easy website, www.easy.maryland.gov.
New features on the site include the ability to file Foreign Limited
Liability and Foreign Corporation (Non-Maryland) business filings, the
ability to order certified copies, and other updates to streamline the
user workflow for faster filing. The next release, scheduled for early
2015 will offer businesses the ability to submit their annual business
personal property filing with the State Department of Assessments and
Taxation.
“Thousands of Maryland entrepreneurs use the Central Business Licensing
and Registration Portal to register their company online every day – the
portal is truly a 'one-stop shop' for conducting business in Maryland,”
said Governor Martin O’Malley. “We’ve simplified the registration
process to ensure that entrepreneurs can spend more time growing and
running their businesses and less time sifting through paperwork.”
Customers who use the CBL Portal are not required to know which specific
agencies they must interface with to successfully complete the process
for starting a new business. Entrepreneurs are now empowered to more
quickly establish new businesses through the CBL Portal, while avoiding
the hassle of submitting redundant applications in-person, at multiple
agencies. Through CBL, business owners register their business in a
simple 4-step process and receive an electronic notification when their
filing(s) have been approved or denied. To date, more than 40 percent of
sole proprietorship and general partnerships are filed through the
system and are approved in less than two business days. Entrepreneurs on
the go are taking advantage of the online application’s responsive
design with nearly 15 percent of filings being completed on a mobile
device.
The Central
Business Licensing and Registration Portal is a collaborative effort
between Governor O’Malley’s office, the Department of Information
Technology, the Maryland Department of Business and Economic
Development, the Comptroller of Maryland and the Maryland State
Department of Assessments and Taxation. The CBL Portal was developed at
no charge for the State of Maryland by NIC
Maryland, through the self-funded eGovernment services contract with
the State
Department of Information Technology (DoIT).
