The regional Department of Industry has eliminated the licences required before opening a business and for work to reform business premises from today.
The move is part of a project to encourage the creation of new businesses in the region.
A declaration by the person responsible for the person that he/she will comply with all the legal requirements will be substituted for the licences normally required before a business can open.
The only exceptions to the new procedure are if there is an historic- artistic impact; or the business is in a public building; or there is an environmental impact.
A new line of finance, “Inforeactiva” aimed at small businesses was also unveiled. This programme offers 25 million euros in loans over the next year with “advantageous conditions.” There is also a fund of 50 million euros to help businesses become international, improve their competitiveness and innovate transactions.
