Small Business Partnership Aims to Conquer a $1 Trillion Gorilla

(Falls Church, VA) RapidRegistration.com (www.rapidregistration.com) today announced that it has formed a partnership with the new national small business portal allbizdepot.com (www.allbizdepot.com) in order to provide its portal members with a simple solution to registering for state and local government bids, a $1 trillion marketplace. The partnership will be supported by a major marketing and promotional campaign planned by allbizdepot.com to launch in November.

RapidRegistration.com's first-of-its-kind, unique, one-form, one-step process addresses the first requirement in doing business with state and local government agencies: registration. Prior to RapidRegistration.com, the only way to register with the over 80,000 government agencies was to contact each county, city or town, request their application, and fill out all the individual forms.

RapidRegistration.com's service, currently available for the largest local governments in the nation and which costs $10.00 per agency, provides fully-completed applications, mailing labels, a sample cover letter, a list of agency names and telephone numbers, and a completed W-9 form.

"Currently, there are 34 million small businesses, and most are intimidated or overwhelmed by the paperwork process required to get into the government bidding system," says Stephen Coakley, President of RapidRegistration.com. "Our partnership with allbizdepot.com will give its members easier access to a huge market of opportunity, and affording them more time to work on growing their businesses."

RapidRegistration.com was founded in January of this year and is headquartered in Falls Church, Virginia.
