B-READY: Business Location Pillar 2: Quality of Public Services and Transparency of Information for Business Location

B-READY focuses on ten topics that are organized following the life cycle of the firm and its participation in the market while opening, operating (or expanding), and closing (or reorganizing) a business. The Business Location topic measures three different options—purchase, lease, or build—that are available to entrepreneurs to choose the adequate location to set up their company, across three different dimensions, or pillars. The second pillar assesses the quality of public services and transparency of information in the provision of property transfer, building, and environmental permitting.
