BASIS, or Business Access to State Information and Services, aims to provide a single location where companies can access all government information and services. The site is structured around the 'life events' of a business, such as start-up, expansion, employment of staff and regulatory filings. As well as hosting a wealth of information, the site offers commonly used forms for downloading, along with gateways to online services such as tax filing and tender notices.
