The objective is to encourage regulations that are designed to be efficient, accessible to all who use them and simple in their implementation. Where regulation is burdensome and competition limited, success tends to depend on whom one knows. But where regulation is efficient, transparent and implemented in a simple way, it becomes easier for aspiring entrepreneurs to compete on an equal footing and to innovate and expand. In this sense Doing Business values good rules as a key to social inclusion. Enabling growth, and ensuring that all people, regardless of income level, can participate in its benefits, requires an environment where new entrants with drive and good ideas can get started in business and where good firms can invest and grow, thereby creating more jobs. Doing Business was designed with 2 main types of users in mind: policy makers and researchers. Doing Business is a tool that governments can use to design sound policies for the creation of firms and jobs. But this tool should not be used in isolation. Doing Business provides a rich opportunity for benchmarking by capturing key dimensions of regulatory regimes. Nevertheless, the Doing Business data are limited in scope and should be complemented with other sources of information.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOAUCTIONE-MAILEQUIPMENTENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENTCUSTOMERREGISTRIESINSTALLATIONMATERIALSSEARCHINTERFACESADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMMONITORINGIMAGECOPYRIGHTCONSULTANTSTRANSMISSIONCAPACITY BUILDINGSELF-SERVICEPRICETIME PERIODMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSINFORMATION SYSTEMSDISPUTE RESOLUTIONE-GOVERNMENTCUSTOMS CLEARANCECOMPUTERDISTRIBUTION SYSTEMTELEPHONE CONNECTIONECONOMIC ACTIVITYCOMMUNICATIONSCUSTOMER REQUESTSONLINE PAYMENTGLOBAL STANDARDSHUMAN RESOURCEDATAADVERTISINGFOREIGN TRADETECHNICAL ASSISTANCEBUSINESS REGULATIONPERFORMANCE INDICATORSDOMAINCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSLICENSECUSTOMSTARGETSTECHNICAL EXPERTSCUSTOMS DECLARATIONBUYERSCONSULTANTWEBSTANDARDIZATIONMATERIALHARD COPIESSINGLE IDBUSINESS REGISTRATIONCAPITAL INVESTMENTSINVENTORYLEGAL FRAMEWORKHARD COPYCHANGE SYSTEMTRANSACTIONSAUCTIONSBUSINESS PROCESSESPDFINSPECTIONBUSINESS INDICATORINTERNATIONAL TRADECOMPUTER HARDWAREPOSTAL SERVICEPUBLIC UTILITYSOFTWAREBEST PRACTICESREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSCOMPETITIVENESSELECTRICITYREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTDIRECT SALENETWORKSONE-STOP SHOPSFAXMANAGEMENT SYSTEMREGISTRATION APPLICATIONTRADE FACILITATIONPRIVATE SECTORDATA INTEGRITYPRIVATE PROPERTIESDOCUMENT MANAGEMENTELECTRONIC TOOLSELECTRONIC DATAQUERIESBACKBONERESULTGOVERNMENT POLICIESECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTICTMANAGEMENT SERVICESWWWELECTRONIC FILINGBUSINESS ACTIVITYBUSINESSBUSINESSESPEER-TO-PEERTYPES OF USERSPERFORMANCESERVERSBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTDISTRIBUTION NETWORKBACKUPSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONSCOMPANY INFORMATIONINSTITUTIONSITESFUNCTIONALITYCOMMUNICATIONCOMMODITIESCUSTOMER SERVICESCAPITAL INVESTMENTLEGAL PROFESSIONALSOUTSOURCINGSECRET CODESSERVERPAYMENT OF TAXESMIDDLEMENREGULATORY FRAMEWORKELECTRONIC PLATFORMSSUPERVISIONKNOWLEDGE SHARINGCERTIFICATEINTERNAL COMMUNICATIONSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYBUYERGLOBAL COMPETITIVENESSCAPABILITYVALUE CHAINDIGITIZATIONCONSUMER GOODSDIGITALIZATIONINFORMATIONENTERPRISE SURVEYSTURNAROUND TIMESREGISTRYLEGAL PROFESSIONALCSSHARDWARETRANSLATIONINSTITUTIONSLINKCOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESSERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTGLOBAL ECONOMYONE-STOP SHOPBAR CODEPRODUCTIVITYCONTROL SYSTEMAUTOMATIONADVERTISEMENTLINKSCUSTOMER SERVICECALL CENTERDATABASESLOGISTICS COMPANIESWEALTH CREATIONBROADBANDTELEPHONEACCESS TO INFORMATIONGOVERNMENT SERVICESBUSINESS VALUESUSERSINSTALLATIONSTECHNOLOGYTRANSACTIONOPERATING SYSTEMSYSTEM DEVELOPMENTWHITE PAPERSUPPLY NETWORKRESULTSDOCUMENT REQUIREMENTSCUSTOMSOFTWARE SYSTEMCOST CONNECTIONELECTRONIC FORMINCOME INEQUALITIESBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS NEEDTRANSLATIONSEXCHANGE OF INFORMATIONCOST CONTROLSADMINISTRATIONGENERAL PUBLICELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONWANREGISTRATION APPLICATIONSMARKET SHARELICENSESSECURITYNETWORKBANDWIDTHCENTRAL SERVERIDDATA WAREHOUSEONLINE REGISTRATIONINSPECTIONSADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSESCERTIFICATESINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYWORKING HOURSBUSINESS REGULATIONSLEGAL ISSUESTRACKING SYSTEMCUSTOMERSINTERFACEELECTRONIC PLATFORMSEARCHESTURNAROUND TIMEDATABASETECHNOLOGIESONLINE PRODUCTSTARGETEXPERT OPINIONPRICESUSESUSERPRODUCTION PROCESSESSERVICE PROVIDERSReportWorld Bank10.1596/23255
