At the event, Senator Turner laid out a three-point plan to use the
Business Services Division to help reduce barriers to
starting a business in Ohio and improve the responsiveness
of the office. She proposes to:
•
Transform the Division into a resource center for Ohio businesses
by linking companies to economic development resources
throughout the state;
• Create a more flexible business support system by ensuring staff
are available for questions or troubleshooting outside of
traditional business hours; and
• Allow for more online business filings to reduce turnaround times
and increase convenience for business owners.
"Anything that can be done to make things easier to start and
operate a business is incredibly welcome," said Kelly
Harvey, owner and winemaker at Signature Wines. "Having
continued to work my day job while getting this company off
the ground, I know how important it can be to provide more
flexible, convenient, and meaningful resources and
assistance from the state." |
