Entrepreneurial Ecosystem
Regulation
The Government/Regulatory Factor evaluates the policies, ordinances, and the experience of entrepreneurs and small businesses as they work with the public sector to launch and scale their business operations. In an unhealthy support system, entrepreneurs find the process for getting permits difficult and an environment focused on what you can’t do rather than how do we find a solution. It also examines the prioritization of entrepreneurship as an economic development strategy.
Examples of Government/Regulatory Factor to be evaluated include:
- Community-specific web resources on how to start a business
- Economic development resources and capacity targeting small business development
- Zoning practices that provide for protections while allowing for a broader mix of uses and functions
