BTAX Aims To Simplify Business Licensing

SAN DIEGO - Oct. 7, 2014 - PRLog -- Business licensing can be complicated - depending on your industry, business model and activities any number of different licenses may be required (or not required). It’s difficult to know which without spending hours on internet research and phone calls. The lack of standards across the four levels of government (federal, state, county and local cities) makes this issue even worse. Each license has it’s own set of rules, regulations and must be maintained at specific intervals. If that wasnt enough to keep us busy, licensing agencies frequently add and remove requirements making it difficult to stay on top of every change. BTAX hopes to simplify the entire licensing process by addressing these problems head on.

Whether you have one location or thousands, licensing presents a problem. In an industry that hasn’t innovated in decades BTAX hopes to disrupt the existing process by providing an easy-to-use alternative that helps you start in compliance and stay there.

Rather than scouring the internet trying to determine which licenses apply BTAX provides one, simple interface to fully license your business. One account gives you access to every licensing authority with the ability to research, file and monitor your licenses. By entering a few pieces of company data BTAX will suggest common licenses for your industry and allow you to easily access forms and applications. Once activated, the platform will monitor all changing regulations to ensure you’re always compliant.

"The only way to really simplify the licensing process is by arming business users with the technology they need to cut through the noise and allow information to flow towards them instead of searching it out," said Michael Pecoraro, founder and CEO, BTAX Systems. "We use 3 different methods to ensure the right information gets to the user in a timely fashion with one uniform experience across all levels of government."

BTAX allows you to know exactly what’s going on at all times by using a combination of dashboards, visuals and email alerts. The platform provides additional tools to share documents and automatically calculate license fees. There’s also a feature to allows you to auto renew any flat fee license. While complete integration with every authority is not quite available just yet BTAX can provide a bridge between a manual and automatic process.

BTAX is offered under a freemium model, in which the underlying service will be free, but some advanced features and online payment functions will be available to those who wish to pay for them. That will include the ability to pay for license filings and renewals from one interface. Even with those paid features, BTAX plans to charge significantly less than existing service providers.
