Established in 2013 by the Government of Punjab, Punjab Bureau of Investment Promotion (Invest Punjab) is a single point of contact for facilitation of investors who are looking to set up a business in Punjab. It is a one-stop office for providing state-level regulatory clearances and approvals for fiscal incentives.

The State has launched the BusinessFirst portal, an initiative to put Ease of Doing Business as the core philosophy of the State, which offers a single unified and transparent interface to the Industry and Businesses for all regulatory and fiscal services throughout investment lifecycle. The Bureau also houses sector experts who guide the investor through the entire investment lifecycle – from initiating the proposal to setting up the business. The State unequivocally realizes that conducive business environment and investor facilitation are pre-requisites for growth, innovation and employment generation in the State.
