Abstract
Experience of countries development and studies of international
organizations such as the World Bank have proven that the business
environment has a direct influence on entrepreneurship development.
A discouraging environment can cause more problems to Small and
medium sized enterprises than larger ones. Consequently paying
attention to the business environment has been recently regarded as
one of the prerequisites of entrepreneurship development. Meanwhile,
to rank the countries’ business environments, various international
reports are annually being published. The goal of this research is to assess Iran’s business environment, from the viewpoint of Iranian specialists. After reviewing various models, finally the World Bank's Doing Business model was chosen as our basis. Then, using a descriptive survey method, opinions of 101 specialists were collected and analyzed. The results indicate that Iran’s business environment is
not suitable for investment; and these results are in accordance with the rankings of the World Bank and other models.
