New and existing Richmond businesses can now apply, update and renew their licences online.
The City of Richmond launched a self-service portal called MyBusiness, part of the city's MyRichmond portal, to make the licensing process easier for owners without the need to travel to city hall starting July 11.
Business owners can access the portal by logging on to MyRichmond and identify their licence need, whether to apply for a new licence or to renew or modify an existing one.
“The city is always looking for new ways to support the business community and streamline how businesses connect with City Hall,” said Mayor Malcolm Brodie.
“The MyBusiness platform makes city licensing services available 24/7 and reflects our commitment to using digital tools to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of City services and better serve residents of Richmond.”
The addition of MyBusiness to the MyRichmond portal is part of the city's digital strategy to make Richmond functions available online through a single system.
