To allow for useful comparison, the profile also provides data for other selected economies (comparator economies) for each indicator. Doing Business 2015 is the 12th edition in a series of annual reports measuring the regulations that enhance business activity and those that constrain it. Economies are ranked on their ease of doing business; for 2015 Venezuela RB ranks 182. A high ease of doing business ranking means the regulatory environment is more conducive to the starting and operation of a local firm. Doing Business presents quantitative indicators on business regulations and the protection of property rights that can be compared across 189 economies from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe and over time. Doing Business measures regulations affecting 11 areas of the life of a business known as indicators. Ten of these areas are included in this year's ranking on the ease of doing business: starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, registering property, getting credit, protecting minority investors, paying taxes, trading across borders, enforcing contracts, and resolving insolvency. Doing Business also measures labor market regulation, which is not included in this year's ranking. The data in this report are current as of June 1, 2014 (except for the paying taxes indicators, which cover the period from January to December 2013).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SERVICESACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING POLICIESADMINISTRATIVE FEESAUCTIONAUDIT COMMITTEEAUDIT REPORTSAUDITSAVAILABILITY OF CREDITBALANCE SHEETBANK ACCOUNTBANK DEPOSITBANK LOANBANKRUPTCYBANKRUPTCY LAWBANKRUPTCY LAWSBORROWERBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS INDICATORBUSINESS INDICATORSBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONBUSINESS REGULATIONSBUSINESSESBUYERCADASTRECAPITAL GAINSCERTIFICATECERTIFICATESCOLLATERALCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTCOLLATERAL AGREEMENTSCOLLATERAL FOR LOANSCOLLATERAL LAWCOLLATERAL LAWSCOLLATERAL REGISTRYCOMMERCECOMMERCIAL ACTIVITIESCOMMERCIAL BANKCOMMERCIAL BUSINESSCOMMERCIAL REGISTRYCOMPANY LAWSCOMPETITIVENESSCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONTRACTORSCOPYRIGHTCORPORATE GOVERNANCECREDIT BUREAUCREDIT BUREAUSCREDIT HISTORYCREDIT INFORMATIONCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMCREDIT INFORMATION SYSTEMSCREDIT SOURCECREDITORCREDITORSCREDITWORTHINESSCUSTOMSDEBTDEBTORDEBTSDEFAULTSDEPOSITDISCLOSURE REQUIREMENTSDISTRIBUTION NETWORKDOMAINE-MAILELECTRICITYELECTRONIC FORMENTERPRISE SURVEYFINANCIAL HISTORYFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFINANCIAL RESOURCESFINANCIAL STATEMENTFINANCIAL STATEMENTSFRAUDGOOD PRACTICEIDIMAGESIMMOVABLE PROPERTYINCOME TAXINFORMATION SHARINGINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINSPECTIONINSPECTIONSINSTALLATIONINTEREST RATEINTERNATIONAL BANKINVENTORYINVESTOR PROTECTIONINVESTOR PROTECTIONSLABOR MARKETLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGAL RIGHTSLENDERLENDERSLENDING DECISIONSLEVYLICENSELICENSESLIENSLIMITED LIABILITYLOAN AMOUNTSLOCAL BUSINESSMACROECONOMIC CONDITIONSMANUFACTURINGMARKET PRICEMATERIALMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTMINIMUM CAPITAL REQUIREMENTSMINORITY INVESTORMINORITY INVESTORSMINORITY SHAREHOLDERMINORITY SHAREHOLDERSMORTGAGESMOVABLE ASSETSMOVABLE COLLATERALNATURAL RESOURCESNEW MARKETSNOTARIESNOTARYONE-STOP SHOPORIGINAL ASSETSOVERHEADPAYMENT OF TAXESPERSONAL ASSETSPHOTOPOSSESSORY SECURITYPRIVATE BANKPRIVATE CREDITPRIVATE CREDIT BUREAUPRIVATE PROPERTYPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR CREDITPROCUREMENTPROPERTY RIGHTSPUBLIC REGISTRIESPUBLIC REGISTRYPURCHASINGQUERIESREGISTRATION APPLICATIONREGISTRATION FEEREGISTRATION FEESREGISTRIESREGISTRYREGISTRY OFFICEREGISTRY OFFICESREGISTRY OFFICIALSREGULATORY ENVIRONMENTREGULATORY PRACTICEREGULATORY REQUIREMENTSREPORTINGRESERVERESULTSRETURNSALE DOCUMENTSALESSALES AGREEMENTSEARCHSEARCHESSECURITIESSECURITIES REGULATIONSSECURITY INTERESTSECURITY INTERESTSSERVICE PROVIDERSSHAREHOLDERSHAREHOLDERSSOLVENCYSTOCK EXCHANGETAXTAX RATETAX RATESTAX RULESTELEPHONETELEPHONE CONNECTIONTRADINGTRANSACTIONTRANSACTIONS SYSTEMTRANSLATIONTRANSPARENCYTURNOVERUSERUSERSUSESVERIFICATIONWAREHOUSEWAREHOUSESWEBWEB PAGE10.1596/20985
