Having opened two restaurants over the span of 6 years, once with the help of BizPaL and once on my own, I can honestly say what a difference it made to the red tape that one normally thinks of when it comes to regulation requirements during the start up phase of a new business. I hope all new and seasoned entrepreneurs are turned onto the time, and headache-saving help you will find with BizPaL. I wish all government services were so user focused and well put together.
