In 1979, Allen and Maria Calderon set out to achieve the American dream by founding Alcal Business Services. With a deep commitment to helping others, they sought to empower new Americans by providing essential services for small businesses in Queens, NY. Allen, armed with a strong educational background, and Maria, with her natural ability to connect with the community, joined forces to create a business dedicated to supporting others in their entrepreneurial journeys.
For over 45 years, Alcal Business Services has been a cornerstone in the Queens community, helping hundreds of small businesses get off the ground. From incorporation to bookkeeping and tax preparation, Allen and Maria provided more than just financial services—they offered guidance and support. They took pride in connecting new business owners with a network of professionals, including insurance brokers, mortgage brokers, and attorneys, always with the intent to help them succeed.
At the heart of Alcal Business Services are the values instilled by Allen and Maria Calderon: a commitment to the success of new business owners and a dedication to helping them focus on their craft while we manage their financial tracking and tax needs. This legacy of support continues to guide us today, as we strive to help our clients grow and succeed. We remain committed to networking within our community, connecting clients with trusted professionals, and offering guidance on financial management.
As we transition to the next generation of ownership, we are proud to continue serving the clients who have been with us for decades, as well as welcoming new ones. Though we may not have specific milestones to share, the hundreds of businesses we've helped start over the years are a testament to our impact. As we prepare to move into a new office space in 2025, we are excited to adapt and expand our services to meet the needs of the modern business landscape.
Currently, our offices are temporarily located in Long Island City, Queens, as we prepare for a grand reopening in our original location in early 2025. We understand this temporary move may be inconvenient for some, but we assure you that our commitment to providing excellent service remains unchanged. During this transitional period, we are actively listening to our clients' feedback and adjusting our services to better meet their needs.
As we step into this new chapter, we are dedicated to honoring the legacy of Allen and Maria by expanding our online presence and integrating new services to better connect with our community. We also want to recognize our office manager, Diana, whose unwavering support has been a stabilizing presence for our clients during this time.
We are deeply grateful for the support of our clients and community during this period of change. As a new business owner, I am committed to continuing my parents' mission while adapting to the evolving business environment. My hope is that, with the support of my family and the dedication of our team, we can carry Alcal Business Services forward into a bright future.
