Smart-Tek Expands Business Registration to 33 States
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc., (OTC Bulletin Board: STTN) has added to its California operations and expanded its market to two-thirds of the U.S. by completing licensing and registration requirements in 32 new states. In response to rising demand since entering the Professional Employer Organization (PEO) business in August 2009, the Company is actively pursuing licensing and registration in the remaining 15 states in the continental U.S.
"This will enhance the Company's ability to attract multi-state companies that need the resources and support to fully comply with each state's requirements," said Kelly Mowrey, COO of Smart-Tek Automated Services, Inc. "These multi-state clients also benefit from a single-source solution, which will provide their payroll, tax administration and workers' compensation insurance policies."
The strategic move builds on Smart-Tek's March 15, 2010, announcement that it had secured the ability to write workers' compensation insurance policies for clients in all 48 contiguous states. In addition to meeting insurance requirements, each state has its own licensing and registration process that must be followed in order to properly conduct business in that state.
