Klajd Gazulli opened Main Street Group Holdings LLC at 254 E. Gun Hill Rd. in January 2015. Originally from Albania, Gazulli came to New York in 1993 and settled in Queens. He has been in business in the Bronx for the past few years and just recently expanded to East Hanover, NJ. With a background in retail banking, Gazulli transitioned into the insurance business in 2006 and started tax preparation services in 2015.

Main Street Group Holdings LLC offers a variety of services to local residents and business owners at affordable prices. “We offer the whole tax suite and the whole insurance suite. When it comes to tax and insurance, we have everything,” said Gazulli. Main Street Group Holdings LLC is one of the few businesses in the BID that can meet tax and insurance needs for both individuals and corporations. Gazulli and staff offer tax preparation for individuals and businesses, payroll services, personal and business accounting, as well as personal and business insurance. He and his team, which includes his sister Monika, father Philip, and longtime colleague Orville McLaughlin, take pride in their ability to work with clients to find a solution that fits their budget and their unique needs.

After five years in business in the BID, Gazulli has made himself at home in the community. “I love working with people, I love talking and chatting with different people from different backgrounds. I find that this section is very busy and being located here gives me an opportunity to listen to people’s needs and address those needs,” said Gazulli.

As a business owner, Gazulli is acutely aware of the importance of having business insurance. His goal for this year is to make more connections in the BID with fellow business owners to ensure that they have the proper coverage. “Insurance is everything for small business owners. You need to protect yourself, your employees and customers. You need to have the proper insurance in place to protect your business assets,” said Gazulli. “It takes you 30 years to build business, but just one accident to ruin it,” he said. While he says that “protection comes at a price,” Gazulli wants business owners to understand the value of insurance.

“We can always tweak coverages to fit within their budget. We can add and subtract components to make the policy work for you,” said Gazulli, who wants to act as a resource for local business owners and encourages his neighbors in the BID to stop by the Main Street Group Holdings LLC office to meet with him.
