The government has launched a centralised platform to allow businesses to register for a number of permits and track approval.
The Jamaica Business Gateway was launched on Wednesday.
JAMPRO President Shullette Cox says a few application processes have so far been onboarded, with plans to expand the platform over the coming months.
"The ministry, supported by JAMPRO and all of our partners have a very ambitious plan to roll out an additional 35 processes on the gateway. Today, we have ticked the box on the first 14. We are currently in procurement for the next 26 processes that will be in place by the end of this fiscal year," she announced.
The JAMPRO president said there will be a number of other integration work will be done "to make sure that all the other government platforms that exist can be accessed through the gateway as well".
Industry, Investment and Commerce Minister Aubyn Hill said the gateway should improve efficiency.
"I know that time is a precious resource and by streamlining processes and making government interactions happen on your time instead of on government’s time, which we know can be a little bit slow, we unleash the potential for greater entrepreneurship, innovation and job creation," he said.
