Shanghai has launched a new one-stop service platform for entrepreneurs, covering 12 key areas designed to streamline processes for start-ups at every stage, according to Shanghai Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.

To promote efficiency, the platform centralizes information and offers detailed guidance on application requirements, necessary documents and filing tips.

The service also features stage-based processing, allowing for precise implementation based on the needs of entrepreneurs at different development phases. All services are handled entirely online, ensuring both convenience and flexibility.

Additionally, the platform facilitates data sharing and mutual recognition, eliminating the need for entrepreneurs to resubmit information already available through inter-departmental data exchange or electronic licensing.

For those meeting the basic criteria for subsidies, the system will send notifications with details on available support and application channels.

The platform also offers personalized support, with the city's human resources and social security department responding promptly to service requests and subsidy applications. This ensures that entrepreneurs receive tailored assistance and are well-informed about relevant policies and public services.
