In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, businesses need more than just a location to operate; they need an environment where growth is facilitated, processes are simplified, and challenges are minimized. The Pakistan Economic Zone Development and Management Company (PEZDMC) is committed to creating such an environment by implementing initiatives that promote the ease of doing business for local and international companies.
With a clear focus on improving the industrial ecosystem, PEZDMC has introduced several reforms and initiatives aimed at reducing bureaucratic hurdles, streamlining processes, and providing end-to-end support to businesses at every stage of their journey.
Business Facilitation Center (BFC) – A One-Stop Solution
At the heart of PEZDMC’s ease of doing business strategy is the Business Facilitation Center (BFC). This innovative center brings together various essential services under one roof, simplifying and expediting the process of setting up and operating a business in PEZDMC’s industrial zones.
The BFC provides:
- Centralized Access: Businesses can access a wide range of services from different departments, including PEZDMC, DHA, and other key stakeholders, in one location. This removes the need for companies to navigate complex bureaucratic processes across multiple offices.
- Streamlined Approvals: From land allocation to utility connections, the BFC ensures that approvals are granted quickly and efficiently, helping businesses to get started with minimal delays.
- Dedicated Support: A team of experts is available to guide businesses through the entire process, providing assistance with documentation, compliance, and other regulatory requirements.
Simplified Processes for Land Allocation and Infrastructure
One of the most crucial aspects of setting up a business is securing land in a prime location with access to essential infrastructure. PEZDMC has simplified this process through a transparent and straightforward land allocation system.
- Easy Plot Allocation: Businesses can choose from a variety of plot sizes ranging from 1 to 25 acres, with the option to combine plots for larger space if needed. The application process is designed to be quick and hassle-free, with forms available both online and at PEZDMC’s marketing office.
- Efficient Documentation and Payment: The entire documentation process, including the submission of application forms and the down payment, is handled through the BFC, ensuring a seamless experience.
- Strategic Location: PEZDMC’s industrial zones, such as the Malir Industrial Park, are located at key trade routes with easy access to highways, ports, and airports, allowing businesses to efficiently connect to both local and global markets.
