International Surveys (archive)
The annual international business registry survey aims to analyze different business registration systems and procedures to facilitate the business registration authorities to compare their own practices and performances with those of other organisations.
The surveys and reports have been structured around six topics:
- legal and institutional settings of organisations responsible for business registration;
- registration process;
- use of e-services by business registries;
- the changing role of the business registries;
- funding and fees; and
- business dynamics/trends resulting from registration; and
- the information in the Business registers.
