The Secretary of State’s Vision
The Goal: To make it easier for entrepreneurs to
navigate the state regulatory process of starting a
business.
The Master Application: A robust, adaptable,
easy-to-use online tool-set specifically designed to
meet this goal.

Vision Backed By the RI Statute
§ 42-132-1 Purpose. – The purpose of this chapter is to provide a
convenient, accessible, and timely one-stop system that will enable the
business community to acquire, maintain and file the necessary state
licenses required to start and conduct business in Rhode Island. It is
the intent of the general assembly that use of the fast-start system by a
business be optional and that any business may continue to work
directly with the appropriate state agency if preferred.

Using Universal Business Data
Most forms request the following types of information over and over
again:
Universal Business Data offers users a name and address book to
save this info and easily insert it into forms.
