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 South Africa. 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).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTINGBANK ACCOUNTBANK GUARANTEEBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMPANY LAWCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCOMPLIANCE COSTSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE LAWSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORSCUSTOMER SERVICEDEBTORDEBTSDEEDDEEDSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDEPOSITSDERIVATIVEDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILECONOMIC ACTIVITYELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FILINGELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONENFORCEMENT PROCEDURESFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFINANCIAL TRANSACTIONSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEHOLDINGIDIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINSURANCEINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTEREST RATEINTERNATIONAL BANKINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSLEGAL ASSISTANCELEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLEVYLICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDER PROTECTIONSMORTGAGEMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSORIGINAL CONTRACTOVERHEADPERSONAL ASSETSPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION APPLICATIONREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRIESREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPAYMENTRESERVERESULTSRETURNSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSOLVENCYSTAMP DUTYSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTAX SYSTEMTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTELEPHONE LINETRADE CREDITORSTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERSVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWEBWEB SITEWITHHOLDING TAXReportWorld Bank10.1596/26925
