ONE STOP SHOP is an investment facilitation or a “single-window” mechanism where relevant government agencies are brought to single cohesive structure that coordinates and streamlines processes to provide prompt, efficient and transparent services to investors

Role of a One Stop Shop It shortens and simplifies administrative procedures and guidelines for issuance of business approvals, permits and licenses, thereby removing bottlenecks faced by investors in establishing and running businesses. It will provide:  Facilitation of the entire investment value chain;  Will provide specialist advisory services to investors;  Co-ordination between the various line ministries;  Communication of these services to potential investors; and  Be the single-window clearance for registration, licensing and permits.
