WASHINGTON, D.C. –U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.), Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.), and Jim Justice (R-W.Va.) introduced a bill to protect a centralized, online hub for small businesses. Their bipartisan One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to maintain its website that contains centralized information for licensing and business permit information and materials for small businesses.
“West Virginia’s small businesses are the backbone of our communities and local economies, making up more than 98% of businesses in our state, but too often, entrepreneurs face unnecessary red tape when trying to get off the ground,” Senator Capito said. “The One Stop Shop for Small Business Licensing Act cuts through that bureaucracy by streamlining the federal licensing process, making it easier for small businesses to thrive from day one.”
