WHAT IS IT
EXPRESS PERMIT SIMULATOR

Invest in Murcia has an Investment Acceleration Unit (UNAI) that facilitates the acceleration of procedures. In this context, we put at your disposal this interactive tool in which, by selecting the main characteristics of the activity to be carried out, it offers as a result the necessary permits and authorizations for the start-up of a business activity.

HOW
IT WORKS

 

It is a form where drop-downs appear, grouped by the Urban Planning, Industry and Environment sections. Using the dropdowns, the different available options are selected that help to draw the profile of the business activity. Once the selection is complete, the results page informs of the necessary administrative procedures with links and references to them.

WHY

 

Because it has been designed to simplify the compilation of documentation and facilitate the application processes, allowing better planning for the implementation of a company. With this tool we can have a first advice on the need for an environmental study, an urban planning authorization or the regulations to which the necessary equipment and machinery are subject.
