Ji Chen jumped out of his chair when he heard the good news — the State Council announced in November that market access will be eased to encourage start-up businesses. The 20-year-old accounting major at Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology can finally achieve his dream of starting a company without going through the difficult registration procedure, like his peer Huo Baiyi had to. Professionals believe that this reform is going to benefit more students who want to start up a business.
11月国务院宣布将放宽市场准入，鼓励创业，季晨（音译）听到这个好消息后激动地从椅子上跳了起来。这位20岁的年轻人来自南京信息工程大学会计专业，这下，他终于可以实现自己的创业梦了，而不必像同龄的霍白毅（音译）那样为办理注册手续而大费周章。专业人士认为这项改革将会使更多心怀创业梦的学生受益。
Complicated procedure
复杂的注册程序
Huo Baiyi, 21, is a social work major at Nanjing Institute of Technology. He set up a media company in early 2012 and started the registration process in March.
21岁的霍白毅目前就读于南京工程学院社会工作专业。2012年初，他成立了一家传媒公司，同年三月他开始办理注册手续。
“Back then, the minimum capital for limited liability companies was 30,000 yuan. My partner and I had to combine all of our money to meet this requirement,” he says. But money wasn’t the only problem. In order to prepare all the necessary paperwork, they had to go back and forth between the local bureau for industry & commerce, the public security bureau and the taxation bureau more than 10 times. “Both my cell phones were ringing all the time,” he says, “it nearly drove me crazy.”
“那时候，有限责任公司的最低注册金额为3万元。为符合要求，我和合作伙伴们不得不拿出全部积蓄，” 霍白毅说。但资金并非唯一的问题。为了把所有相关文件备齐，他们在当地工商局、公安局和税务局之间来回跑了十多趟。他说：“我的两部手机天天响个不停，令人抓狂。”
Relaxed registration requirements
简化注册手续
Now that the situation is changing, Ji is preparing for the registration procedure. The minimum capital requirements for limited liability companies, one-person limited liability companies, and joint-stock companies with limited liability, have all been scrapped. Besides, requirements for the site of business operation have also been relaxed.
现如今情况发生了改变，季晨正在为注册公司做准备。有限责任公司、私营有限责任公司以及股份有限公司的最低资金门槛都被取消了。除此之外，经营场所的要求也有所放宽。
This preferable policy is extremely useful for students like Ji, who normally don’t have much money or a business site. “What we have is a laptop and creative minds,” says Ji.
对于像季晨这样通常资金不足或不具备经营场所的学生来说，这项优惠政策可谓是帮了大忙。季晨说：“我们拥有的就是一台笔记本电脑和脑子里的无穷创意。”
After the reform, it didn’t take him long to prepare all the necessary documents. “I’m going to submit them to the local bureau for industry & commerce next week and I expect the registration process to be completed in less than one week,” he says.
新规实施后，季晨很快便备齐了所有相关文件。季晨说：“我准备下周把这些材料交到当地工商局，我想一周之内，便可以走完整个注册流程了。”
Positive effect
积极的作用
“The reform is definitely exciting news for students,” says Yu Pengtian, director of the National Science Park at Harbin University of Science and Technology. “No minimum capital requirement means a lower cost for starting a business. From a macro perspective, it’s an incentive for students to launch a start-up.”
哈尔滨理工大学科技园管理有限公司总经理于澎田表示: “这项改革对于学生而言无疑是个振奋人心的消息，取消‘资金门槛’意味着创业成本降低。从宏观上看，此举将鼓励更多学生创业。”
Chen Gaosheng, associate professor at the Central University of Finance and Economics, praised the relaxed requirements on the business site. “Many students in our university run their business from a studio because they don’t have a business site. Before the reform, this undermined their accountability when doing business,” he says. Now, however, students can run a stable and promising business.
中央财经大学副教授陈高生对放宽经营场所登记条件的改革举措表示大加赞赏。他说: “我们学校很多学生没有经营场所，都是在工作室中进行创业。改革前，这样做生意会有损诚信。” 但是如今，同学们可以稳定经营自己的大好前途了。
