Calling all Retailers!
Take the NYC Retail Survey Today!
The New Business Acceleration Team (NBAT), created through a partnership between Council Speaker Quinn and Mayor Bloomberg in 2010, helps businesses navigate City requirements and open their doors more quickly and easily. NBAT has helped nearly 600 restaurants shave an average of 75 days off the time to open.
The city plans to expand NBAT's services to the retail industry, but first we need to learn more about the interactions retail businesses have with the City, and which requirements are the most difficult.
Click Here to Take the Survey!
The survey is active from now through Friday, March 2.
