The aim is for all people who want to open a small business in Tijuana to have all their paperwork completed before starting operations to avoid “premature closures” due to non-compliance with regulations.
This was stated by the president of the National Chamber of Small Commerce of Tijuana (Canacope), Gina Villalobos González, who stated that the lack of preparation before opening their businesses is common among new entrepreneurs.
She explained that this occurs in those who use the “Quick Opening Window” with the municipality, a scheme that, while it allows operations to start quickly, also has short deadlines to comply with the documentation requirements.
She added that the culture of early compliance is another of the tasks that will be promoted among new merchants, so that they do their paperwork in a timely manner, but not in a corrective manner.
