LGUs to Streamline Business Permit, Licensing System
According to Richmond Mercurio (2016) A business registration process of no more than two days in local government units (LGUs) has been agreed upon by three departments, but hurdles remain in luring investors to the country, such as in securing fire safety inspection certificate and barangay clearance. The DICT in the next few months will develop and make available computer application software to automate local government processes. The system will automate the process of recording, assessment and issuance of business permits. In line with this circular, the DICT will make the system available to LGUs in coordination with DILG, DTI and the NCC. (www.philstar.com).
Business Permit and Monitoring System
According to this site (www.inettutor.com) (2016) in local government units, Mayor’s Office is the regulating and monitoring division that assesses from small scale, medium and large scale businesses within the area of responsibility. Pertinent laws are implemented to regulate businesses and monitoring is regularly done by the office. However, there are still businesses that operate without proper permission from the authority. This problem is difficult to trace in the mayor’s office lists of businesses that are permitted and not permitted to operate due to the fact that their files are stored in a manual storage facilities. It also observed that, the office has a manual list of corresponding amount of fees per business.
The use of Business Permit and Monitoring System with DSS alleviate these problems. With the system, it will twist and do a little change in processes of securing permits and monitoring businesses. Some features of the system such as registration of the businesses name, types of business and location; it also computes licenses fees. Storage facility will now become reliable and access of data and information will be easier. Moreover, the system can easily track or browse list of registered businesses that license is expired and about to be renewed. The system gives warning and notification for expired business licenses and automatically computes for fines. It has also a capability to compare data graphically, such as categories of business; small scale, medium scale and large scale and make comparisons so that decision makers will have an idea to better facilitate permitting and monitoring procedure. Once, installed and operational, it would be beneficial to the revenues of the city as well as to the business owners of the city (www.inettutor.com).
GIS Application for Local Government Revenue Mobilization
According to Collins Fosu and George Ashiagbor (2016) “as part of decentralization reforms, many countries have devolved revenue and expenditures responsibilities to Local Government Authorities (LGAs). LGAs therefore, face the challenge of mobilizing appropriate level of revenue to enable effective service and infrastructure provision. To ensure effective execution of these statutory functions, the Local Government Authorities (LGAs) all over the world need to improve their Internal Revenue Mobilization”. The GIS technology can enhance revenue mobilization and describes comprehensively the functionalities of GIS Application, Local Government Revenue Mobilization System (LGRMS), developed for local authorities in Ghana for internal revenue mobilization. It gives detailed information of the developed functionalities of the application and the dependencies on GIS for effective local government revenue planning and mobilization. The paper clearly shows that an integrated GIS-Database technology tool is capable of providing a more efficient collection, tracking and management of Local Government revenue and other municipal fees. The development of the revenue system is implemented by the use of the system development life cycle. The system provides realistic information on the revenue potential of an assembly and automates the revenue mobilization processes. It has the ability to integrate and analyze a wide variety of information based on their spatial locations. It also supports a full range of business process on revenue mobilization ranging from, billing, license applications and renewals, permits issuance etc. and the tracking of the same. The menu driven GUI developed is user friendly and incorporates various spatial utility maps including education and health facilities and road network which will increase its acceptability and utilization among planners and decision-makers and is expected to increase the efficacy of revenue planning and budgeting.

The following items are some suggestions to complete this task:
The study must include both renewal and new application of business permit. Hire full-time researchers or you may also appoint staff to conduct the study. (However, impartiality of staff may be compromised.) Assign researchers to track applicants who completed the cycle of the BPL process. Identify your sample applicants. Request profile of businesses in your locality. Consider adequate representation of business type and business size, as well as application type (new or renewal). Identify appropriate sample size. Select sample applicants randomly. Consider schedule of renewal of business permit (January) to maximize observation and documentation of renewal process.
