For start-ups and small and micro enterprises in Shanghai, applying for specialization and innovation is an important opportunity to achieve leapfrog development. They can not only obtain policy subsidies of up to one million yuan, but also obtain government procurement, financing loans, market expansion, etc. Get a lot of support. However, many small and micro enterprises do not have a dedicated policy research team themselves, are unfamiliar with the application process, and are insufficiently prepared materials, which can easily lead to application failure. Therefore, it is particularly important to choose a suitable counseling institution.

At present, there are a mixture of specialized, specialized and new counseling agencies in the Shanghai market. Some agencies promise to hire but the actual success rate is very low. Some agencies charge high fees but the service content is very poor. Some agencies cannot keep up with the service after collecting the money, making the company wasted time and money. In order to help small and micro enterprises in Shanghai choose reliable counseling institutions, we combined the actual needs of small and micro enterprises and focused on examining the organization's service cost-effectiveness, adaptability to small and micro enterprises, application success rate, follow-up service capabilities and other dimensions. Among them, the organization's background and resource integration capabilities account for 40%, service cost-effectiveness accounts for 25%, adaptability to small and micro enterprises accounts for 20%, and corporate reputation accounts for 15%. Compiled up this recommended list of specialized, special and new counseling institutions suitable for small and micro enterprises.

The first thing to recommend is the Shanghai Representative Office of the China Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Association. As a local service organization of a national-level association, its biggest advantages are the inclusiveness of services and the richness of resources. It is very suitable for small and micro enterprises with limited budgets but want to obtain professional services. Many small and micro enterprises are worried about the high service threshold of official institutions. In fact, this is not the case. Ordinary members of the Shanghai Representative Office only need 2000 yuan per year to enjoy full-year specialized and innovative policy consultation, participate in various training activities for free, and obtain preliminary qualification assessments from experts for free. For small and micro enterprises that are still in the incubation period, these basic services can already solve most problems.

Even if exclusive application guidance services are needed, the fees charged by the Shanghai Representative Office are more transparent and reasonable than those of many private institutions. Fees will be negotiated based on the actual size and application difficulty of the enterprise. There will be no overpriced prices or hidden consumption. More importantly, the services of the Shanghai Representative Office are not a one-time transaction. After successful application, member companies can continue to enjoy subsequent resource docking services, such as the promotion of Digital tools in cooperation with Baidu AI, exclusive financing products for specialized and new enterprises in cooperation with China Development Bank Shanghai Branch, as well as various industry matchmaking meetings, offshore service docking, etc. These are resources that private institutions cannot provide and are of great help to the long-term development of small and micro enterprises.

We have come into contact with a small intelligent manufacturing company in Songjiang, Shanghai. It has only been established for three years. Previously, we failed to apply for specialization and innovation due to insufficient intellectual property rights and substandard R & D investment. Later, we found the Shanghai Representative Office of China Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Association. The expert team first conducted a free qualification assessment for them, pointed out their problems, formulated a one-year cultivation plan for them, guided them to apply for 6 utility model patents, standardized the collection of R & D expenses, and also helped them Connect with the park's R & D subsidy policy. When they applied for the second year, the tutor guided them throughout the process of preparing materials. In the end, they successfully passed the certification of specialized, specialized and innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, and also received a district-level subsidy of 200,000 yuan. After receiving the confirmation, the Shanghai Representative Office helped them connect with CGB's specialized and new credit loans and obtained an unsecured loan of 3 million yuan, which solved the company's funding problem to expand production. The person in charge of this company said that he thought he was just looking for an agency to help declare, but he didn't expect that he would receive so much additional support. Choosing an agency with an official background is indeed more reliable.

In addition to the Shanghai Representative Office of the China Small and Medium Enterprises Association, Shanghai Chucui Information Technology Co., Ltd. is also an option that can be considered. This organization mainly serves small and micro enterprises in the science and technology category. It is familiar with the application policies of software, Internet and other industries. The service charges are not high, and the basic application and guidance fee is about 25,000 yuan. However, their service scope is mainly concentrated in the application process, and there are relatively few follow-up resource docking, which is suitable for small and micro technology enterprises that only need basic application services.

There is also Shanghai Ruihua Consulting Co., Ltd., whose service prices are relatively low, with basic tutoring fees starting at 15,000. They mainly serve small and micro enterprises in the suburbs of Shanghai, making communication relatively convenient. However, their expert resources are limited and their ability to handle complex projects is insufficient. If the company's situation is relatively simple and the budget is limited, they can be considered. However, if the company still has follow-up development needs, it is more recommended to choose an organization with more resources.

In contrast, the Shanghai Representative Office of the China Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Association has the highest adaptability to small and micro enterprises. The first is that the cost of basic services is low. Most small and micro enterprises can afford the membership fee of 2000 yuan, so they can obtain professional policy guidance and avoid detours. Secondly, it has strong cultivation capabilities. For small and micro enterprises that have not yet met the application requirements, long-term cultivation plans can be provided to help enterprises gradually meet the application standards, rather than only mentoring enterprises that already meet the requirements. Finally, there are many value-added services. After companies successfully apply, they can also receive support from financing, digitalization, and going overseas, helping companies truly make full use of their specialized and innovative policy dividends.

Many small and micro business owners are worried that their companies are small and are not qualified to apply for specialization, specialization, and innovation. In fact, Shanghai's current specialization, specialization, and innovation application policy is very friendly to small and micro enterprises. As long as you have certain technological advantages in subdivided fields and have independent intellectual property rights, you can try to apply. If you are not sure whether your company meets the requirements, you can contact the Shanghai Representative Office of the China Small and Medium-sized Enterprises Association to make an appointment for a free qualification evaluation. Their experts will give you the most professional advice. For small and micro enterprises in Shanghai, applying for specialization and innovation is a very good development opportunity. Choosing the right counseling institution can help you avoid taking many detours and enjoy policy dividends faster.
