Authorities in Ho Chi Minh City officially inaugurated services for business registration at home and an electronic ISO management system on February 28.

The city’s Department of Planning and Investment (DPI) started the registration services on January 2, and 319 domestic enterprises had been registered by that way till February 19, DPI deputy director Tran Thi Binh Minh said.

She added the service helped lessen paperwork, save time and cost for enterprises and the regulator, and make life easier for entrepreneurs, and the agency expected it to be able to serve foreign-invested companies soon.

DPI also expects to see 10 per cent of the new enterprises making registration at home this year and a double of that in 2015.

As for the city’s electronic ISO management system launched on February 28 for all 24 districts, the metropolitan administration considers it a major improvement in organisational efficiency as it helps manage all of the documents.

The system will provide city dwellers with online public services such as applying for construction licences, home repair licences, and filing dossiers. Residents can also know the status of their dossiers via email or SMS, and know a new day of completion if the progress is behind schedule.
