6. Recommendation #1 – Changes to Governance and Resourcing
Recommendation #2 – Business/Company Registration Reform
Recommendation #3 – Improve Access to Licensing Information
One of the major obstacles facing SMEs today is the lack of a single service to research and identify the
registrations, licenses, and permits required for their line of business or industry sector. Therefore, it is
recommended that a one-stop information portal be developed.
Recommendation #4 – Improve Licensing and Permitting Processes
•Identify and analyze sectors and geographies that will have the greatest impact on SMEs;
•Reposition the BLESS project and change its emphasis to focus on priority licenses not yet in a system and on
functional improvements identified by SMEs and regulators;
•Determine a long-term sustainability model for BLESS including the identification of a host organization;
•Determine how best to integrate other licensing solutions with BLESS and business registration systems.
Recommendation #5 - Fundamental reforms for Sabah and Sarawak
Recommendation #6 – Provide Multi-Channel Integrated Service
