BAC Staff Comments
The City of Oakland Business Assistance Center (BAC) has been opened now for over one year.  During that time our office has served and helped over two thousand clients to navigate the City’s permitting, zoning, business tax and license departments along with business counseling and outreach resources. The staff of the BAC thanks you for your support and we will continue to be your first point of contact for doing business with the City. We have a number of new and exciting things in the works for you, one of which includes our first client satisfaction survey that we will publish soon. Please continue to monitor our web site for new information on how to better operate your business and to obtain resources for growth.

Thank you to everyone for your continued support.
