It measures and tracks changes in regulations affecting 10 areas in the life cycle of a business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts and resolving insolvency. In a series of annual reports Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 183 economies, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, over time. This economy profile presents the Doing Business indicators for Brazil. To allow useful comparison, it also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2011 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period January- December 2010). The data not only highlight the extent of obstacles to doing business; they also help identify the source of those obstacles, supporting policy makers in designing regulatory reform.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTACCOUNTSBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCHECKSCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY INFORMATIONCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSDATA TRANSMISSIONDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEFAULTSDEPOSITDEPOSITSDIGITAL CERTIFICATEDIGITAL FORMATDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESEQUIPMENTFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFOREIGN TRADEGOOD PRACTICEGUARANTEE FUNDIDENTIFICATION NUMBERIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTERNAL SYSTEMINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSISSUANCELAND OWNERSHIPLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNATIONAL TREASURYNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYNOTARY PUBLICONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAPER CERTIFICATEPAPER CERTIFICATESPAYROLLPENSIONPENSION FUNDPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREAL ESTATE REGISTRYREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRATION OF BUSINESSESREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGISTRY OFFICEREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESULTRESULTSSALESSALES AGREEMENTSAVINGS BANKSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX DEBTTAX SYSTEMTELECOMMUNICATIONSTELEPHONETELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTREASURYTURNOVERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWEBWEB SITEReportWorld Bankhttps://doi.org/10.1596/27209
