The main convenience measures of the "Measures" are:
First, it is clearly stipulated that individual industrial and commercial households may or may not use names. That is to say, it is entirely up to individual industrial and commercial households to decide whether to choose a name.
For example, some individual industrial and commercial households operating stalls in fair markets can do so according to their own needs without applying for name registration. If names are used, the regulations should be followed.
Second, it is stipulated that the names of individual industrial and commercial households can be appended with the name of the town, street, natural village, community, or market where the business place is located after the administrative division, which greatly expands the naming space of individual industrial and commercial households. For example: "Xicheng District Tianyi Small Commodity Wholesale Market Store XX", which also facilitates individual industrial and commercial households to promote their location characteristics.
The third is to enrich the naming fields for individual industrial and commercial households. In recent years, many individual industrial and commercial households, especially young entrepreneurs, hope to use numbers and other distinctive and distinctive names to promote their operations. Taking into account the rationality of this requirement and traditional folk business habits, the Measures do not prohibit the use of numbers in names. Arabic numerals, such as: "Restaurant 2046, xx Street, Yuzhong District", but "troop number" and other number combinations that may deceive or misunderstand the public are not allowed.
Fourth, the measures further strengthen the service functions of the industrial and commercial departments. When the registration authority accepts and reviews the name registration application of an individual industrial and commercial household, it is required to process it on the spot in principle and within 5 days in special circumstances. Compared with the relevant provisions of the Administrative Licensing Law, the time limit for processing is shorter. In addition, there is no charge for pre-approval and registration of individual business names.
The Measures also stipulate that if two or more applicants apply to the same registration authority to register the same name of an individual industrial and commercial household, the registration authority shall make the decision based on the principle of first application.
In terms of the name management system for individual industrial and commercial households, the method mainly has institutional innovations in five aspects:
First, it is connected with the reform of hierarchical and classified registration management of individual industrial and commercial households. It is stipulated that the district and county industrial and commercial bureaus (branch bureaus) can entrust the industrial and commercial offices to approve the names of individual industrial and commercial households, so that the name verification and registration work of individual industrial and commercial households can be "two-in-one", making it convenient for individual industrial and commercial households to register nearby and immediately.
Second, the name review standards stipulate that names must not violate public order and good customs, or disrespect ethnic and religious customs.
The third is to relax the restrictions on the use of the names of individual industrial and commercial households that have been changed or canceled. If a production and business entity is transferred between self-employed individuals, they can retain the original name and continue to carry out business activities.
The fourth is to adhere to the management idea of ??"guidance and education as the mainstay, and punishment and punishment as the supplement". The Measures set corresponding penalties and normative measures, and stipulate appropriate legal responsibilities for illegal acts involving the names of individual industrial and commercial households, which not only achieves the purpose of warning against illegal activities, but also is consistent with the actual economic situation of individual businesses.
The fifth is to give local governments a certain degree of autonomy. Provincial industrial and commercial bureaus can make flexible regulations on issues such as the use of provincial or municipal names for individual industrial and commercial households based on local realities.
In addition, "China" is the abbreviation of the People's Republic of China and has a political nature. Many laws and regulations in our country have strict restrictions on the use of the name "China". Taking into account the actual situation of individual industrial and commercial households as a market entity, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, on the basis of soliciting opinions from relevant social parties, stipulated in the measures that individual industrial and commercial households cannot use words such as "China" in their names.
