Informal and comprehensive human-readable definition of a concept. Description	In May 2011, the CFE one-stop shop for business registration was created, with technical assistance from the World Bank (South-South Experience Exchange Facility Trust Fund), International Finance Corporation (IFC), United Nations Development Program (UNDP), European Union (EU) and the African Development Bank (AfDB). The CFE one-stop shop combines all essential services needed to create a business under one roof, including notarizing the company statutes, registering at the Commercial Registry, obtaining the tax identification number, obtaining work permits for foreign investors and receiving commercial, industrial and tourism licenses and urban inspections. Licensing requirements were eased by eliminating the requirement for prior authorization for low-risk commercial activities. In addition, the implementation of the revised General Commercial Law of the Organization for the Harmonization of Business Law in Africa (OHADA), of which Guinea-Bissau is a member, replaces the requirement to submit the criminal records of the company founders at the time of registration with a sworn declaration.
