Short description of the case:
A special system for creating companies that allows firms (private limited companies, partnerships or PLC) to be set up by making a single trip to just one office (Business Formalities Centre or the Commercial Registry Office), and taking around one hour. In operation since July 2005, in 6 offices as a pilot scheme, this new service will be made available all over the country in February 2006. An internet domain name and an electronic address are immediately available to each firm created by this system.
Main feature of the case:
- Developing and managing processes
- Innovation and implementing change
Key words:
"On the spot firm" allows creating firms more quickly, more easily and more cheaply.
