Advertising is an important issue in the world and has a deep effect on various aspects of our individual and social lives. The effect of this phenomenon on the economy, culture, society and even politics is constantly increasing, and the lack of appropriate laws in this area will provide a good platform for abusers. The issue of advertising is very important for products that are directly related to consumer health. The most important problem in the field of health advertising in the Iranian legal system is the multiplicity and fragmentation of the resolutions that have existed for a long time. However, it can be said that each resolution addresses the issue from a specific perspective, but there are sometimes overlaps, and contradictions regarding the competent authorities provided for the issuance of advertising licenses and the authorities dealing with violations, guaranteeing the implementation of violations of the rules governing advertising, etc. In recent years, not only has there been no effort to resolve this issue, but in some cases, it has increased these ambiguities. In this article, we will explain the situation of the Iranian legal system in this regard, while referring to the European Union's directives on health.

The Commercial Code of Iran (adopted in 1932) is the most important set of laws related to commercial affairs in Iran, which forms the basis of Iranian commercial law. The vast majority of Iranian jurists consider the law inadequate, overly incomplete, and vague. In this regard, and accepting the need for amendment, we review the trade bill that has been prepared for this purpose. Given the complexity of the topic, we will only look at the definition of a trader and business practices in the new bill, which is the foundation of the Commercial Code and distinguishes the trader from the non-trader. For this purpose, we first state the main goals of the bill and then examine the success or failure of achieving these goals. Finally, since e-commerce oversees the use of electronic communications in the business process and is a means of doing business, it is inevitable to refer to the corresponding concept in e-commerce law, the concept of "supplier". After analysing the issue, we concluded that by comparing Articles 1 and 2 of the current Commercial Code with Article 1 of the bill, the fundamental changes considered by the Office of Economic Studies of the Deputy Minister of Planning and Economy are not visible, so it cannot be considered a strength listed the innovations of this amendment.

Lack of transparency, complexity and strictness of the process of obtaining a license to register or start a business is one of the important problems of businesses in Iran. This is more complicated in emerging businesses. Many start-ups are confused about their licenses. In this article, we try to discuss the issue of business licenses with an emphasis on Internet businesses. Laws and regulations have been enacted by the relevant authorities in recent years. There are significant approvals for business licenses that, if implemented, will facilitate the licensing process and, as a result, improve the overall business climate in the country. Although the adoption of some regulations is a positive step in organizing economic activities in cyberspace, there are still many gaps and ambiguities in this area. The present study, using descriptive-analytical methods and using library and Internet resources, examines the challenges in issuing licenses for e-businesses.
