Stark Business forms alliance with Rockefeller Grp. Business Centers

Stark Business Solutions (SBS) has entered into a strategic alliance with Rockefeller Group Business Centers (RGBC). The agreement will enable SBS clients and RGBC clients special access to each other's New York business centers. SBS operates the SBS Suites in White Plains, Mount Kisco, Harrison and Scarsdale, which recently opened. In all, SBS occupies more than 55,000 s/f of office space in premium locations throughout the county. RGBC has two business centers in Manhattan. They measure a total of 70,000 s/f. "Today's economic climate requires creativity to meet the changing needs of our clients and the business community at large. This partnership will enable clients to conduct their business in Manhattan while continuing to maintain their Westchester County presence. Reciprocally, RGBC's clients can expand their business reach to Westchester County while still maintaining their Manhattan presence," said Adam Stark, president of Stark Business Solutions. Howard Watler, RBGC vice president, said that both organizations' clients will benefit from the additional address options. "Our commitment to the success of our clients means that we continually seek out value-added services for them. This partnership provides additional growth opportunities for both RGBC and Stark Business Solutions clients," he said. Additionally, SBS recently partnered with Intelligent Office of Garden City for a similar arrangement. Intelligent Office, which was named Long Island's Best Executive Suite Company in a poll conducted by Long Island Business News in 2007, is located in close proximity to the Long Island courthouses. The SBS Suites in White Plains is located at 445 Hamilton Ave. The SBS Suites in Mount Kisco is located at 100 South Bedford Road. The SBS Suites in Harrison is located at 500 Mamaroneck Avenue. SBS Scarsdale is located at 2 Overhill Road. RGBC's Manhattan sites are at 45 Rockefeller Plaza and at 48 Wall St. SBS enables entrepreneurs and professionals to establish and maintain a polished professional image without the cost and commitment of a traditional office and staff. All SBS Suites are conveniently located close to major area highways and Metro-North train stations. SBS offers flexible, turn-key office configurations ranging from workstations to executive office suites; ability to use any SBS location for meetings; impressive conference facilities and meeting support services; access to worldwide locations through a brand affiliate network; top-notch administrative support available on-demand; private phone number with call screening; advanced fiber-optic IT backbone capable of supporting private networks and VPNs; integrated IT support; advanced telecommunications with digital and VOIP capabilities; and invitations to special networking events.
