Yang Hongcan, Director of the Registration Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation, introduced that to promote the sustainable and healthy development of individual industrial and commercial households, it is necessary to adopt personalized and differentiated assistance measures based on their development level and development characteristics. Therefore, the "Regulations on Promoting the Development of Individual Industrial and Commercial Households" proposes that precise assistance can be achieved through typing and classified cultivation.
The so-called "type" means that individual industrial and commercial households are roughly divided into three types: "survival", "growth" and "development" based on business scale, revenue level, etc., focusing on the three goals of "survival", "continuing operation" and "development and growth", and implementing targeted cultivation. For "survival" individual industrial and commercial households with relatively low profit levels and barely maintain their operating status, they can maintain their normal operations as much as possible through assistance for difficulties, fee reductions and exemptions, and provide a basic source of income for families. For "grown" individual business owners with stable operations and a certain scale of employment, they can pay attention to financial support, skill training, etc., guide them to standardize their operations, gradually expand their scale, and enhance their ability to resist risks. For large-scale and considerable income, we will actively guide them to transform and upgrade into enterprises on a voluntary basis, improve internal management systems, and achieve better development.
"Classification" is to encourage individual industrial and commercial households to give full play to their own advantages, combine them with reality, take the path of innovative development, increase the selection and "outstanding" training of individual industrial and commercial households such as persistence, distinctive characteristics, new industries and new business formats, and improve the overall level of development of individual industrial and commercial households in the region. At present, the State Administration for Market Regulation is studying policies and measures to support the development of "famous, special, excellent and new" individual industrial and commercial households. The so-called "famous" means supporting and cultivating a group of well-known stores and "Internet celebrity stores" with good quality products and services, honest management, and certain brand influence. The so-called "special" means to encourage local governments to rely on their characteristic advantages such as regional cultural resources and geographical indication products to create business models in the fields of folk tourism reception, local specialty product sales, and special catering services. The so-called "excellent" means to explore and cultivate "old craftsmen" and "old artists" who are responsible for promoting traditional folk skills and inheriting intangible cultural heritage, and to create more small and beautiful, small and exquisite, small and specialized, and small and excellent individual business households. The so-called "new" means encouraging individual industrial and commercial households to actively participate in new economic forms such as new technologies, new industries, new business forms, and new models, accelerate digital development, and realize integrated online and offline operations.
Yang Hongcan said that the classification and cultivation of individual industrial and commercial households is a long-term institutional arrangement and an important measure to improve the overall development quality of individual industrial and commercial households. The State Administration for Market Regulation will guide and support local governments to continuously increase their exploration efforts, study and formulate classified standards, establish a "directory library" for classified cultivation, improve sample statistics system, track and understand development demands, and better promote the sustainable and healthy development of individual industrial and commercial households.
