MBAT Open Office Hours

Thu, August 21, 2025 2:00 P.M. Add to your calendar
Business Resource and Innovation Center at Parkway Central Library

The City of Philadelphia's Mayor's Business Action Team (MBAT) is here to answer your business questions! MBAT is the one-stop shop for Philadelphia business owners and entrepreneurs. We're partnering up to host office hours with Business Services Managers. They are the first point of contact for Philadelphia businesses assisting with navigating through city processes. MBAT helps all businesses from launch to expansion.
You can ask us things like:
How do I register my business?
I have my Employer Identification Number (EIN). Isn’t this the same as the City Tax Account number?
What is a BIRT and why do I need this?
Is the Commercial Activity License the same as the Business Privilege License?
What grants are available for new businesses?
How do I set up an LLC and get an EIN number?
I conducted market research at the BRIC. What is the best way to utilize those resources?​

Office hours are in person from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the ground floor of the BRIC. There is no pre-registration for this event, and questions are limited to fifteen minutes. Service is first-come, first-served. The last person will be seen no later than 3:45 p.m.
