Are there many preferential policies for college students to start their own businesses nowadays? What are they?

The Ministry of Education recently announced the newly revised "Regulations on the Management of Students in General Colleges and Universities" and solicited opinions from local education administrative departments and colleges and universities affiliated to the ministry. The new regulations require students to fulfill their obligations to abide by academic ethics and uphold academic integrity. In addition, in response to the wave of college student entrepreneurship that has emerged in recent years, regulations have also provided support, clarifying that college students' innovation and entrepreneurship can be converted into credits.

The government's support for college students' entrepreneurship can be subdivided into material encouragement and spiritual support. Material encouragement includes providing venues and setting up bonuses. The Beijing Municipal Education Commission and the Beijing Municipal Finance Bureau recently jointly issued the "Measures for the Management of Employment and Entrepreneurship Projects for College Students in Beijing", which will award up to 200,000 yuan to outstanding college student entrepreneurial teams, and provide support to each school of 500,000 yuan for model entrepreneurship centers in colleges and universities. This measure will come into effect on September 1.

In addition to material encouragement, the psychological feelings of college student entrepreneurs must also be taken into consideration. Starting from December 1, Beijing will apply for an "Employment and Entrepreneurship Certificate" for college students who want to start a business. Students holding the certificate can apply to enjoy preferential tax policies in accordance with regulations. It is understood that the "Employment and Entrepreneurship Certificate" is developed from the "Employment and Unemployment Registration Certificate" and is first issued to college graduates in need during the graduation year. Compared with the Employment and Unemployment Registration Certificate, the new certificate is more easily accepted by college student entrepreneurs.
