The Business Consulting Center (YAAVAR) system has been implemented and utilized in all provinces of Iran since 2017. The system offers quick, clear and free of charge advices on businesses, provided by committed and experienced consultants in 26 main fields (for example, financial Affairs, customs, insurance, etc.) and 160 subfields (for example in tax field: property tax, corporate tax, inheritance tax, etc.). This is done through ICT tools in the form of an online and integrated system.
Other goals of this project include the reliability of advices (regarding the possibility of registering and tracking consultations) and conducting knowledge management at all stages of the task. Moreover, another significant achievement of this project is providing applicants from remote and deprived areas with the ability to accessing professional consultancy services that are made available by means of IT tools, as well as, ranking government agencies based on ratings given by the users in accuracy and usefulness of received advices.
This project currently has been launched in all provinces of the country and the relevant authorities are obliged to respond to all registered consultation requests within 5 working days (as it is specified in the relevant regulations).
