Business Checklist

The Business Checklist is an interactive application that can provide you with step-by-step instructions to manage your business in PA. You can get customized step-by-step instructions for starting a new business; registering an out-of-state business; expanding or acquiring a business; amending a business; or closing a business in PA. The goal of the Business Checklist is to take the guess work out of completing the necessary steps to manage your business in PA.  

My Dashboard

On My Dashboard you can access the various features of the Hub. Use the Quick Actions to navigate to various Commonwealth systems based on the specific action you want to take. If you create a checklist, you can track and quickly update your progress as you register, amend, or close a business in PA. Additionally, quickly access businesses and systems you use frequently. 

My PA Apps

My PA Apps is a collection of Commonwealth systems that a user can access to register their business and/or apply for business licenses, taxes, and/or permits. The Business Filing Services system uses single sign-on functionality to seamlessly log you in without the need to enter your credentials again. Other systems will require you to register for a user account separately.

My Business(es)

In My Business(es), you can create business profiles for a new or existing business with which you are associated. If you are the business owner, you can create the business profile yourself. If you are a practitioner or business associate, you can create a business profile and send a request to an owner for approval. Business profiles can have multiple owners, practitioners, and/or business associates. Every user can create multiple business profiles. NOTE: Creating a business profile does not officially register your business with the Commonwealth.

My Profile

In My Profile, you can manage your Keystone Login user account information, including your username, password, security questions, and contact details. The information in My Profile is shared across all Commonwealth systems that use Keystone Login. The email address is also used for your Business Filing Services account with the PA Department of State.
