"Unbelievable! It only took us two days to get the business license," said Li Sifeng, legal person of an SIP-based software company.

She is not the only one surprised by SIP’s quick-response administrative services. Many other companies in the area have expressed their satisfaction with the local administrative service efficiency which SIP deems as one of the important foundations for achieving its goal to foster a world-class business environment.

In order to better its services, SIP has carried out a succession of system and mechanism reforms over the past few years.

For example, it has simplified the administrative procedures and reshuffled the administrative organization to provide one-stop services to the enterprises. It also offers on-line services relying on advanced Internet and smart technologies, trying to save enterprises time as much as possible.

Concurrently, SIP has enhanced the monitoring of corporate behaviors and credit for the purpose of maintaining a good market order, helping the enterprises avoid risks as well as protecting the rights and interests of all stakeholders.

Thanks to all the above efforts, SIP is now able to meet the World Bank's criteria for top 10 best business locations. Enterprises here can obtain a business license within two days, a real estate registration certificate within three days and a permit for industrial construction project within 33 days.
