There have been one-stop shops since at least the 1920s, mostly in the retail trade, epitomized by the development of supermarkets and, in recent years, internet sales outlets. This book is about one particular type of service, namely, business registration, and the various one-stop shops that exist now and might exist in the future. If there is confusion about what constitutes a one-stop shop, there are also a variety of views about business registration. In some countries all businesses have to be registered, in others, only those companies with a legal existence separate from their owners. In some countries, registration is the responsibility of the courts; in others, it is an administrative function handled by a government ministry, semi-autonomous agency, or chamber of commerce. Registration may be a function of a central institution or may be affected at a local level. In all these areas, there is change when it comes to implementing a one-stop shop. It is hardly surprising therefore that there are many different views about what constitutes, or should constitute, a one-stop shop.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO CREDITACCOUNTACCOUNTINGACTION PLANSADVERTISINGADVISORY SERVICEADVISORY SERVICESBANK ACCOUNTBEST PRACTICEBUREAUCRATIC OBSTACLESBUSINESS ASSESSMENTBUSINESS ASSISTANCEBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS CLIMATEBUSINESS COMMUNITYBUSINESS DEVELOPMENTBUSINESS DEVELOPMENT SERVICESBUSINESS ENABLINGBUSINESS ENABLING ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS ENTITIESBUSINESS ENTRYBUSINESS ENVIRONMENTBUSINESS FACILITATIONBUSINESS LAWBUSINESS PROMOTIONBUSINESS REGISTRATIONBUSINESS REGISTRATIONSBUSINESS SERVICEBUSINESS SUPPORTBUSINESS SURVEYSBUSINESSESCAPITAL REQUIREMENTSCERTIFICATECHAMBER OF COMMERCECHAMBERS OF COMMERCECOMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGYCOMPANY INFORMATIONCOMPUTER NETWORKCOMPUTER SYSTEMCOMPUTER SYSTEMSCOPYRIGHTCORRUPTIONCREDITSCSSCUSTOMCUSTOMER SERVICECUSTOMSDATABASE SYSTEMDEPOSITDEVELOPMENT BANKDEVELOPMENT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIPDISABLEDDONOR INVESTMENTE-GOVERNMENTE-MAILECONOMIC CRISISECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTECONOMIC GROWTHELECTRONIC FILINGELECTRONIC FORMELECTRONIC FORMATELECTRONIC SIGNATUREELECTRONIC SIGNATURESEMPLOYEEEMPLOYMENT CENTRESENABLING ENVIRONMENTENTERPRISE PROMOTIONENTREPRENEURENTREPRENEURIAL CULTUREENTREPRENEURSEXCHANGE COMMISSIONEXCLUSIONSEXTERNAL SERVICE PROVIDERSFAMILY BENEFITFINANCIAL SECTOR REFORMFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SUPPORTGOOD PRACTICEGOVERNMENT OFFICEGOVERNMENT OFFICESHANDICRAFTHARDWAREHARMONIZATIONHEAD OF BUSINESSHOME PAGEICTIDIDSINCOME TAXINFORMAL ECONOMYINFORMATION CONTROLINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION SYSTEMSINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINNOVATIONINPUT DATAINSPECTIONINSTITUTIONINSURANCE SYSTEMINTELLECTUAL PROPERTYINTERNATIONAL FINANCEINTEROPERABILITYJOB CREATIONLEGAL REQUIREMENTSLICENSELICENSESLITERACY RATESMATERIALNETWORK SERVICESNEW BUSINESSNEW COMPANIESONE-STOP SHOPONE-STOP SHOPSONESTOP SHOPONESTOP SHOPSONLINE REGISTRATIONONLINE SERVICEONLINE SYSTEMPHOTOPRIVATE ENTERPRISEPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR DEVELOPMENTPROJECT MANAGEMENTPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC FINANCESQUERIESRADIORADIOSRECEIPTREGIONAL NETWORKREGISTRATION CODEREGISTRATION OF BUSINESSESREGISTRATION PROCESSREGISTRATION SYSTEMREGISTRIESREGISTRYREPORTINGRESULTRESULTSRETAIL TRADESALESSALES OUTLETSSECURITIESSMALL ENTERPRISESMALL ENTERPRISESSOCIAL SECURITYSOCIAL SECURITY SYSTEMSOURCE OF INCOMESTANDARDIZATIONSTART-UPSTART-UP COSTSUPERMARKETSTAX IDENTIFICATION NUMBERTECHNICAL ASSISTANCETECHNICAL ISSUESTECHNICAL SUPPORTTELEVISIONTELEVISIONSUNEMPLOYMENTUNIONUNIONSUNIQUE IDENTIFIERUSERSUSESVIDEOWEBWEB SITEWORKSTATIONReportWorld Bank10.1596/27886
