Council Member Farías inquires about how IBSPs assist businesses with permitting and regulatory compliance. Kitty Chan from SBS explains the process and services available.
- IBSPs serve as gateways to SBS services
- If unable to answer questions directly, IBSPs refer businesses to the NYC Business Express Services team
- SBS has small business advocates and compliance advisers
- These services have reportedly saved small businesses tens of millions of dollars
- No specific agencies were identified as presenting bigger challenges in terms of regulations or permitting

The IBSPs are our gate one of our gateways to our services.

So they would actually refer to our NYs if they're unable to answer their questions themselves, they would refer to our n NYC Business Express Services team.
