In this article, the author considers an analytical approach to how the activities of business entities are regulated on the basis of the legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan. In particular, the role of business entities in the economy of the country, its share in the volume of gross domestic product (GDP) was analyzed in comparison with other foreign countries. Opinions were drawn up on the legitimization of the activities of business entities, which led to the term "legitimacy" of various definitions and concepts of scientists. For example, the author of the article tried to give comparative views and definitions of such scientist and professors like Hybels, Amitai Etzioni, Dolf Sternberger, V.S. Martemyanov. And the author gives his own definition to the word "legitimation" in business activity.
At the same time, the author has widely covered the role of Republic of Uzbekistan in the international rating of the World Bank "Doing Business" criteria and the reforms carried out in this area through the legalization (legitimization) of entrepreneurial activity of business entities. In the current period of the pandemic,
measures implemented in Uzbekistan and a number of developed countries to support entrepreneurship and their activities were compared. Proceeding from the article, in the summary section, the author put forward some suggestions and recommendations on legislation in the field of legitimization of entrepreneurial activity.
Introduction
It is known that today entrepreneurship plays a very important role in the economy of any country. In recent years, a number of laws, decrees and resolutions on the organization and further liberalization of our economy on a completely new basis, improvement
(legitimation) of its legal framework, modernization and diversification of production, well-thought-out programs have been adopted and are being consistently implemented.
Indeed, the fundamental basis of economic reforms in Uzbekistan is aimed at further development of small business and private entrepreneurship, creating freedoms for them and making them the leading force in the economy.
In the context of modernization of the economy, the development of small business and entrepreneurship
has a significant impact on ensuring macroeconomic stability.
As the President of Uzbekistan Sh. Mirziyoev noted, "This is the further development of private property and entrepreneurship and ensuring their effective protection [1, 2017].
By providing legal support to small businesses and private entrepreneurship, they have become a leading link in the economy today. The development of small business and private entrepreneurship in our country, their share in the country's gross national product is growing.
The main findings and results
According to the State Statistics Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan, over the past 10 years, the share of small business and private entrepreneurship in the country's GDP is more than

*) small and medium business
**) The data for 20152018 are presented taking into account the data that have been accurately included (revalued)
In 2019 alone, the country's GDP amounted to 511.8 trillion soums (57.9 billion US dollars at the Central Bank's exchange rate), of which the share of products produced by entrepreneurs amounted to 300.3 trillion soums[3]. In percentage terms, this figure can be seen to be 58.6 percent in 2019.
If we compare these statistics with foreign developed countries, we will see that Uzbekistan has a higher performance in this area than some developed countries. For example, in the Russian Federation, the share of entrepreneurship in GDP is
very low (21%) and the government needs to carry out special reforms to increase this figure by 1.5-2 times. And this figure is expected to reach at least 32.4% by 2024 [4, 2019]. However, we can see that this figure is 48% in South Korea, 51% in the UK and 53% in Germany.

The share of small and medium enterprises in the GDP of developed countries [5]
If we analyze the share of small and medium-sized businesses in developed countries, the overall average is 58%, we can say that the Republic of Uzbekistan is carrying out effective and targeted reforms in this area.
Therefore, it is necessary to emphasize once again the importance of entrepreneurship in the economy of any country.
This means that the representatives of this business sector need a solid legal framework and legal protection in order to fully operate in the countries of the world, including Uzbekistan. In short, the legitimization of entrepreneurial activity is required.
So, what is legitimation and how does it play a role in business?
In general, although the term legitimacy existed before, the term came into widespread use in the field of law in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In the field of law of our country, this term has been partially used in recent years.
The word legitimation is derived from the Latin words "legitimus", "lex", "legis", which means law, legality, and legal, conformity with the law or the Constitution [6]. In English, there are the words "legitimation", "legal", "legacy", which are defined as the act of making lawful [7]. Examples of the term "legitimacy" in Russian include "legitimization",
"extension", "recognition of the right", ie "legitimization",
"legalization" and "recognition of the right" [8].
In a classical piece on legitimation, Hybels recognized four main groups of organizational constituents: the state, the public, the media, and the financial community (1995). The state is important because governmental bodies not only control critical resources directly through the awarding of contracts and grants, but also indirectly influence the transfer of resources through regulation and legislation. The public is a critical actor because consumer groups and other 'public interest' groups affect legislation and regulation directly through lobbying and indirectly through influence on voters. The investment community legitimates both new and established organizations by determining the present values of firms based on rationalized appraisals intended to predict future returns on investment (collective assessments of future performance). Finally, the media not only reports
illegitimate activities but also defines and evaluates grounds for the actions of entrepreneurs, managers, regulators, and investors (even though it has little direct control over the transfer of resources to organizations, it has considerable influence on the allocation decision of others).
While these four constituents provide different sources of legitimacy, three -state, public, and media - have overlapping norms and values by which they judge organizations, whereas the financial community uses at least partially distinct evaluation criteria [9, 1995].
Amitai Etzioni, an American sociologist and professor at George Washington University, sees legitimacy as a source of satisfaction from participation in enterprise in his book Entrepreneurship, Adaptation and Legitimation: A Macro-Behavioral Perspective. That is, it defines the belief that the decisions, documents, and actions of government leaders are just, moral virtues, and that

Legitimation of business activity
Nowadays, the term "legitimation" means "make legal, accept and approve the lawful rights and powers of natural and legal persons. And also confirm the legality by relevant documents".
In economic and business law sphere the term "legitimation" is mostly used for the state registration of companies and sole proprietors. And "legitimation" has become the main feature of the business law entities.
For some business law entities (such as, public educations and
entrepreneurship unions, which do not have rights of legal entities) specific feature of legitimation of business entities is its law-determining character. Thus, in general by the term 'legitimation of business entities' it can be understood law-determining procedures, which provides legal character of business activity and lawful
status of business entities. That's why, there should be noted the difference of legal consequences' between
'legitimation of business activities' and 'legitimation of business entities'.
Legitimation is the essence of the state registration of the business entities' activities and licensing some types of economic activities. It gives lawful basis for business entities and also provide legal opportunities to do some activities, which require special knowledge, technologic
difficulty, risky for environment, essential for strategic interests of the state.
According to the Articles 24 and 44 of the Civil Code of Uzbekistan, entrepreneurship activity should follow state registration, which gives legal status to the business entity. Thus, it is recommended that the terms of 'legitimation of business entity' and 'legitimation of business entity's activity' should be
differentiated. 'Legitimation of business entity' is the base for obtaining business status and

Council of Ministers of the the President of the Republic of
Uzbekistan Sh. Mirziyoev on October 28, 2016. On the basis of this decision, a set of measures consisting of 32 points in 6 areas for radical improvement of the procedure for state registration and registration of business entities was approved [17, 2016].
In addition, on February 1, 2017, the President signed Resolution PQ-2750 "On additional measures to improve the mechanisms of providing public services to businesses". In accordance with this decision, the list of public services to be provided only to business entities through the Public Service Centers, which will be gradually introduced in 2018-2020, was approved. According to this list, 49 types of licensing activities and 19 types of licensing activities have been identified through the "single window" centers. In particular, the activities of audit organizations, stock
exchanges, real estate, tourism, organization of lottery games will be licensed through these centers [18, 2017].
At the same time, on February 9, 2017, the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted Resolution № 66 on measures to implement the Resolution No. PD-2646 of 28 October 2016. This decision approved the "Regulations on the procedure for state registration of business entities" [19, 2017].
These normative legal acts currently play a key role in legitimizing the activities of business entities in Uzbekistan.
These documents set out the legal basis for the registration, registration,
permitting, licensing, re-registration, reorganization, implementation of activities, and liquidation of all legal entities in the country.
World Bank "Doing Business" Rating
As a result of the above-mentioned large-scale reforms in the field of business legitimization, the Republic of Uzbekistan is currently attracting many foreign investors. Naturally, these investments and the adopted normative legal acts will serve
to further strengthen the position of our country in various international rankings. In particular, in recent years, Uzbekistan has taken a significant place among 190 countries in the international ranking of the World Bank "Doing Business".
Instead of information, it should be noted that the Doing Business rating represents the level of ease of doing small and medium business. Currently, a total of 11 indicators are assessed: business
registration, obtaining
construction permits, access to electricity, property registration, access to credit, protection of minority investors, and payment of taxes, cross-border trade, compliance mechanisms, bankruptcy, as well as labor market regulation and ease of installation. Doing Business is one of the most popular rankings describing the investment climate in the country, and in 2019 Uzbekistan was ranked 76th Compared to 2012, Uzbekistan rose by 78 positions [20].
It is gratifying that the most important stage in the legitimization of business activity in Uzbekistan is in the 12th place in this ranking in the business registration indicator. However, in this ranking, the activities of entrepreneurs in international trade (165th place), building permits / obtaining (134th place), elimination of non-payment (permits) (91st place), property registration (71st place), entrepreneurial activity We can see that the indicators of our country are not satisfactory in such indicators as obtaining a loan for (61st place) [21]. Therefore, there is still a need to work on the full legitimization of business activities in these areas on the basis of specific measures.
For this reason, many normative legal acts in this area have been adopted in our country and their
implementation is being ensured. For example, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan adopted Resolution No. PP-3852 of July 13, 2018 "On measures to further

Measures are being taken to expand social support and ensure the sustainable operation of various sectors of the economy.
On the basis of these decisions, an Anti-Crisis Fund worth 10 trillion sums was established to support the population and entrepreneurs.
Tour operators, travel agents and entities providing hotel services (accommodation services) in the field of tourism, JSC "Uzbekistan Airways" and its subsidiaries, JSC "Uzbekistan Airports" and SUE "Uzbek-Iran Navigation Center" from April 1 to December 31, 2020 exempted from paying property tax.

Naturally, such privileges and preferences provided by the state to business entities create a great basis for the rapid recovery of the country's economy, the restoration of living standards and re-employment in the current difficult conditions.
Business activity in pandemic conditions in foreign countries
It is clear from the above considerations that the introduction of quarantines, cessation of production, closure of trade routes and communications, borders
during a coronavirus pandemic all has a direct impact on the economy of any country.
So, what is the situation in foreign countries in such a situation? What work is being done to legitimize the leading and important business entities in the economy of any country by supporting business activities in general.
European Union [29]
During the pandemic, it was decided to allocate 37 billion euros in mid-March this year to support the economies of EU countries. Of this, € 8 billion was distributed to the companies most affected by the coronavirus. It has also launched a program to repurchase 750 billion euros worth of securities to maintain financial stability. Also, the budget deficit limit has been abolished, allowing
governments to borrow without any restrictions to help businesses do business. However, this limit was set at a maximum of 3% of the country's GDP.

In the context of the pandemic, almost all countries of the world provide a number of preferences and benefits to businesses in order to restore the economy to its former state, stabilize the living standards of the population and keep them busy.
Conclusion
To conclude, it should be noted that in today's market economy, the business sector is the most important, whether at the international level or at the level of any country. Entrepreneurs, whose activities greatly contribute to the coordination of living conditions
of peoples, employment, a stable source of income, the integrated development of the economy. Therefore, the creation of a legal framework for the legitimization of entrepreneurial activity,
including the establishment of business entities, state registration, registration,
licensing and implementation of activities is of great importance for the economy of our country. To this end, it is proposed to develop a single normative legal document covering the process from the establishment to liquidation of all types of business entities. The pandemic conditions have shown that no country is fully prepared for such force majeure in advance. It is recommended to include in this new normative legal document norms on the regulation of their activities during force majeure and quarantine.
