This is over-regulation at it's best.

  That's not even a regulation problem per se, it's a bureaucracy issue. The only regulation here is that you need to get a piece of paper to do business. There's no complex requirement, no job-specific rules to follow, no training requirement, nothing except a piece of official paper. Some jobs in some places may have onerous requirements for some jobs, possibly for good reason, such as having a doctorate to perform medicine, which takes a decade of hard work or so. The bureaucracy involved may be simple, you're supposed to have the diploma: if you're found to have performed medical acts without it you end up in jail. (This is not typically how it's done any more for a number of good reasons, incidentally.) Getting a simple piece of paper is the problem. As far as regulations are concerned, this is not any more complex than buying a concert ticket. If the festival you wanted to attend turned out to be unable to do that in a timely manner, you wouldn't fault them for selling tickets. You'd fault them for sucking at a simple business task.

    That's why I said over-regulation, what I mean is regulation for the sake of regulation. Although, I would imagine there is a form with some fields that if filled incorrectly would result in a rejection. I don't really want to debate what the meaning of regulation is, but I see it as any checkpoint with a government, not all of it is bad but a need to get a piece of paper for which there are no requirements does seem like a regulation and a pointless one at that.
