Pennsylvania Business One-Stop Shop is the go-to resource for planning, registering, operating, and growing a business – while working smart and living happy in Pennsylvania.
Entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses bring new ideas, tools, technology, and jobs to Pennsylvania, creating opportunities throughout our state. They employ about half of the state’s workforce, and in second half of 2015, created nearly 24,000 new jobs.
To support our entrepreneurs and businesses at all stages of development, Governor Wolf created the Pennsylvania Business One-Stop Shop and launched business.pa.gov in February 2018.
Serving as the first point of contact for Pennsylvania business development concerns, the Pennsylvania Business One-Stop Shop connects and guides businesses through all stages of development — from planning and startup to operating and expanding.
