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.

Check Your Notice of Property Value. It Determines the Amount of your Real Estate Taxes! Deadline: March 1st

 

Every year the Chamber receives inquiries when and if a business' real estate taxes increase. Members who wish to dispute it often miss the deadline and therefore have to wait one year to challenge the issue. - - - - > Read more here.
