It has also helped to solve problems like capital, venue, training and operation during the process of entrepreneurship. College students and college graduates within 2 years can register their company with zero down payment as long as they can pay for the registration capital within 2 years; college students with the idea of entrepreneurship but no idea about how to start can attend various entrepreneurship training courses supported by the government; if they put their idea into practice and start up a real or online business, the government will provide them with subsidy; if they create jobs for their peers, they will also get employment bonus; they can also have a 500 thousand yuan loan for their creative idea. The government will pay for the interest for three years.
