Ease of doing business in Benin
According to the World Bank’s latest Ease of Doing Business index, Benin ranks 153rd out of 190 countries, a significant improvement from its previous ranking. The index measures various factors, such as starting a business, dealing with construction permits, getting electricity, and enforcing contracts, to determine the ease of doing business in a country. Despite its low ranking, Benin has made significant progress in improving its business environment in recent years, and its government continues to prioritize economic reforms to attract foreign investment.
As a global organization looking to expand to Benin, it is crucial to understand the country’s business environment. The low ranking of Benin on the index implies that doing business in the country can be challenging, especially for foreign investors. However, with our EOR services in Benin, you can navigate the complexities of the local market with ease. We provide you with instant access to local expertise, so you don’t have to worry about the intricate details of doing business in Benin.
Our team of professionals is well-versed in the local labor laws and regulations, ensuring that your business operations are compliant with the law.
