May 1, 2023

Alabama is a great place to start a business.

And, it’s easy to register that business in the Yellowhammer State.

In recognition of National Small Business Week, Secretary of State Wes Allen launched a campaign to demonstrate how simple it is to officially register a company in the state.

Allen is promoting an instructional video that provides a step-by-step guide through the on-line registration portal. The video is available on theSecretary of State’s YouTube channel.

Properly completing new business registration forms is one of the first steps an entrepreneur takes in launching a new entity. While it’s not the only step in starting a company — it’s an important one. Allen says that’s an intentional focus of his office.

“We want to make the process of registering your business as easy as it can possibly be. During National Small Business Week, the Alabama Secretary of State’s office wants to remind you that we are here to assist you as needed,” Allen said.

Allen also wanted to ensure that those seeking additional assistance know that they can reach the business services division of the Office of the Secretary of State by calling (334) 242-5324.
