Moreover, Queretaro lacks an integrated electronic system where different government authorities can access information about SMEs without asking business owners each time. This is opposite to Morelos, where administrative information about a firm can be sourced online by public authorities at any time. In other “doing-business” indicators such as the presence of a one-stop shop, business registration’s cost and number of procedures, and time to obtain licenses and permits, the two states performs more homogenously and fairly well. There are, for example, one-stop shops for business start-ups in both states, the time to obtain permits and licenses equally ranges between two weeks and two months in Morelos and Queretaro, and the business registration process is quite streamlined on account of an average of only two visits at the one-stop shop to become an operative firm. They both have a clear strategy, informed by local stakeholders, with the corresponding state economic development secretaries (SEDECO in Morelos and SEDESU in Queretaro) that lead the strategy-making process. There is not, however, an agency devoted to SME policy implementation in either state, which is the result of policy being delivered by a network of private intermediary organisations.
