Message from Jayna I've already seen one of our classmates (Louella Mata) walk through our doors here at the Business Action Center and hope to see more of you if you need assistance with registering a business with the departments of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, Taxation, and Labor.  We also provide information on federal, county, and other state regulatory permits and licenses that you may need in order to comply with the laws.    We're on Nimitz Highway just above Eagle Cafe and Diamond Head of the former Xerox building (the new soundstage for the T.V. show "Lost").  Parking is free!   Aloha,   Jayna
