On September 17, 2008, Changsha released its guiding document aimed at vigorously promoting entrepreneurship and enriching the people, as well as accelerating the construction of an entrepreneurial capital —— "Several Opinions on Vigorously Promoting Entrepreneurship and Enriching the People to Accelerate the Construction of an Entrepreneurial Capital." Mobilizing mass entrepreneurship, supporting initial startups, encouraging "second entrepreneurship," relaxing conditions for entrepreneurship, lowering access thresholds... Through a series of supportive measures, Changsha aims to "build an entrepreneurial capital." The entrepreneurs in Changsha are about to welcome a "spring" of entrepreneurial development.
Measure One: Improve and implement policies to support entrepreneurship
[Key Term] Fiscal and Tax Support —— The municipal finance will allocate no less than 1 billion yuan annually, while district and county (city) finances will allocate no less than 50 million yuan annually to establish a startup support and reward fund, with annual increments. The startup support and reward fund will be used to support the growth of start-up, small and medium-sized, micro-profit, technology-based, and employment-oriented enterprises. At the same time, special funds arranged by all levels of finance for industry, agriculture, commerce, science and technology should ensure that more than 10% is used to support start-up enterprises. Implement tax preferential policies for start-up micro-profit enterprises, high-tech enterprises, and labor-intensive enterprises. Industrial enterprises that comply with national industrial policies and absorb re-employed personnel can enjoy tax preferences based on the number of re-employed personnel they place.
[Key Term] Financial Support —— For enterprises that have been established for two years, have clear market prospects, and good economic benefits, they are encouraged and supported to issue collective bonds. Actively guide and assist eligible enterprises to list on the Growth Enterprise Market (GEM) and Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) board. After a proposed listed company enters the listing process, the pre-listing expenses incurred will be subsidized appropriately by the municipal finance. Expand the scope of small loan guarantee support; laid-off unemployed persons, disabled individuals, veterans, urban registered unemployed persons, college and vocational school graduates, and returnees from working outside their hometowns who start businesses independently can all enjoy the small loan guarantee policy.
[Key Term] Relaxation of Household Registration Restrictions —— Any person who owns legal property rights in the urban area, the purchaser himself/herself, spouse, and minor children (illegal births must fully pay social maintenance fees, etc.) are allowed to register their household registration. Producers and operators investing over 300,000 yuan in Changsha, paying taxes of over 30,000 yuan annually or employing over 10 people, are permitted to register themselves, their spouses, and minor children. Cancel the restrictions on overseas returnees, individuals with master's degrees or higher, senior management of large-scale enterprises, and individuals with advanced professional titles for household registration, allowing their spouses and minor children to migrate their household registrations. Allow college graduates and those obtaining intermediate professional titles or advanced technician qualification certificates to "register first, then find employment." Individuals with junior college (including vocational schools), junior technical school diplomas, or intermediate technician qualification certificates can register based on employment contracts. Migrant workers engaged in non-agricultural production labor in Changsha for more than three consecutive years and paying old-age insurance can register themselves; after five years, their spouses and minor children are allowed to migrate. Any individual receiving honors at the municipal level or above can register themselves, their spouses, and minor children. Overseas returnees and foreign talents coming to Changsha to start businesses will be given priority in processing talent residence permits. Support farmers with strong intentions to leave agriculture and voluntarily relinquish farmland to become urban residents.
[Key Term] Housing Security —— Incorporate solving housing problems for external entrepreneurs into the "Affordable Housing Project" security scope. Parks and enterprises should provide transitional housing security for college graduates and skilled talents. In particular, parks where college graduate entrepreneurship is relatively concentrated should plan and construct entrepreneur apartments to address housing difficulties for young entrepreneurs. Provide special housing security for special entrepreneurial talents.
Measure Two: Improve the Entrepreneurial Guarantee Mechanism
[Key Term] Entrepreneurial Guarantee —— Regardless of ownership form and regional differences, entrepreneurs can enjoy corresponding social security. Accelerate the development of education, health, culture, and other social undertakings, improve the level of public service guarantees, and focus on solving the most concerning, direct, and realistic interest issues of entrepreneurs. Improve the urban and rural social assistance system, perfect dynamic management of minimum living standards, and prioritize assistance to failed entrepreneurs, truly resolving their worries.
Measure Three: Cultivate and Strengthen Entrepreneurial Subjects
[Key Term] Mass Entrepreneurship —— Encourage citizens to apply for private enterprises as natural persons and co-found Sino-foreign joint ventures and cooperative enterprises; encourage various types of business and managerial talents to found enterprises, economic entities, and social intermediary organizations; support scientific and technological personnel to found high-tech enterprises in various forms, engage in scientific and technological achievements transformation, or part-time scientific research, technology breakthroughs, and new product development; encourage overseas returnees, college and vocational school graduates, discharged soldiers, returning migrant workers, urban laid-off unemployed persons, and land-expropriated farmers to make full use of supportive policies for independent entrepreneurship. Support urban and rural residents to broaden their entrepreneurial paths and achieve wealth through entrepreneurship.
[Key Term] Initial Entrepreneurship —— Science and technological personnel, college and vocational school graduates, discharged soldiers, laid-off unemployed persons, employment-challenged individuals, disabled individuals, and rural laborers starting their own initial businesses can enjoy supportive policies for encouraging entrepreneurship in the "Reemployment Preferential Certificate." The first three years of initial entrepreneurship are designated as the entrepreneurial support period, during which municipal administrative and institutional charges are completely exempted, and service charges are uniformly collected according to the principles of openness and voluntariness. The local portion of taxation is entirely used for entrepreneurial support. College and vocational school graduates starting their own initial businesses can, according to relevant regulations, be exempt from business tax and personal income tax for three years. After the entrepreneurial support period, companies with good growth potential may continue to receive two years of reward-based policy support.
[Key Term] "Second Entrepreneurship" —— Encourage individual business owners to change and transform into corporate legal entities, expanding production scale. For individual business owners transitioning into private enterprises, within a two-year transition period, they are allowed to continue using the previous tax collection methods. All industrial projects conforming to industrial guidance that undergo "second entrepreneurship" are prioritized to enter industrial parks, and new factory buildings are required to pay 42 yuan per square meter for project reporting fees. The city annually supports 100 key small and medium-sized enterprises and private technology enterprises on a rolling basis. Actively guide successful entrepreneurs to transition from non-production fields to production fields for "second entrepreneurship" and from self-accumulated development to utilizing social financing for "second entrepreneurship." Carefully help failed entrepreneurs boldly undertake "second entrepreneurship."
Measure Four: Relax Entrepreneurial Restriction Conditions
[Key Term] Broaden Fields —— According to the principle of "non-prohibition means entry," except for areas explicitly prohibited by national laws and regulations, regardless of enterprise ownership type, they can equally enter. Encourage private capital to participate in investment and construction in water conservancy, transportation, energy, urban construction, environmental protection, as well as science and technology, education, culture, health, sports, and other fields through participation, cooperation, mergers, and acquisitions; support private economy to participate in the reform, restructuring, and transformation of state-owned and collective enterprises and production-oriented institutions in various forms and enjoy related preferential policies of state-owned enterprise reform equally.
[Key Term] Lower Thresholds —— Under the premise of complying with relevant laws and regulations, entrepreneurs' family residences, leased houses, etc., can all be considered as business premises. Except for pre-approval conditions set by national laws and administrative regulations, no other pre-approval conditions shall be set. Establish a preparatory period registration system for enterprises; for non-company enterprises in the application process where general conditions are still lacking but can be improved within one year, business licenses can be issued in advance. The minimum registered capital limit is reduced to 30,000 yuan. If there are difficulties in fully paying the registered capital, after submitting a commitment letter for phased payment of registered capital to the industrial and commercial department, the enterprise can be established according to the principle of phased contribution. Allow land operation rights, resource exploitation rights, patent technology results, equity, etc., to be assessed and recognized as registered capital to establish a company enterprise.
[Key Term] Simplify Procedures —— The registration jurisdiction for private limited liability companies and branches with paid-in capital below 1 million yuan is delegated to urban industrial and commercial bureaus, and the registration authority for individual industrial and commercial households is delegated to grassroots industrial and commercial offices. Improve the efficiency of industrial and commercial registration; individual industrial and commercial registration procedures should be completed within 3 days, and enterprise industrial and commercial registration procedures should be completed within 5 days.
Measure Five: Further Optimize the Entrepreneurial Environment
[Key Term] Government Efficiency —— Vigorously promote "one paper notification, immediate handling, one-time completion," disclose procedural systems, and smooth the "green channel" for entrepreneurial application approval. According to the principle of "exempt if possible, reduce if possible, choose the lower rather than the higher," clean up and standardize administrative fee items. Administrative and institutional fees not approved at the provincial level or above shall not be collected by any unit.
[Key Term] Legal Environment —— Advocate the principle of "first mistake, no penalty" for minor illegal acts, adhering to "remind first, penalize later." No enforcement department shall "penalize instead of manage, punish without teaching." Except for issues involving production safety, etc., routine inspections by superior and subordinate departments shall not be repeated, and different departments shall not conduct separate inspections for the same matter. Increase the investigation and punishment of criminal behaviors that disrupt economic order and destroy the entrepreneurial environment, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs.
