The Prime Minister has paid great attention to the message of determination to build an “integrity, creativity, and action” State, with enterprises as the target of service. Along with that are a series of strong, drastic, and consistent instructions from the Central Government to improve the business environment, support enterprises, and encourage startups.

Implementing Resolution 35/NQ-CP dated May 16, 2016 of the Government on supporting and developing enterprises until 2020, the Department of Planning and Investment of Nghe An province consulted and implemented many synchronous contents to create the best conditions for enterprises, in which special attention was paid to promoting business registration via the electronic network.

In the context of socio-economic and production and business difficulties, the administrative reform of the Department on online business registration will enhance the transparency of the online work processing process, saving a lot of time because people can submit documents online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, saving a lot of effort by minimizing the number of trips or not having to travel; at the same time, making people more interested in the activities of state agencies, limiting unnecessary costs that people and businesses have to pay more and businesses do not have to pay fees and charges for business registration.

Along with the solution of directly supporting organizations and individuals to register businesses online, the Department of Planning and Investment has coordinated with banks in the province to help businesses open accounts during the establishment or change process; coordinated with the provincial Social Insurance to issue identification numbers to newly established businesses... to reduce costs and number of trips for businesses.

Administrative reform is one of the top priority solutions in implementing the country's socio-economic development strategy. The Department of Planning and Investment regularly innovates the process of implementing assigned functions and tasks, contributing to promoting and developing internal resources, arousing people's awareness of entrepreneurship, and creating more opportunities for businesses.

Thus, with the continuous efforts of the Department of Planning and Investment in particular and Nghe An province in general, creating a good and stable business environment for enterprises is a right step for the current situation. Business activities need an effective and safe legal corridor. Vietnamese enterprises will grow even stronger if the administrative reform is carried out effectively and thoroughly. Business registration is the first condition for enterprises to enter the world economic "playground". If this first condition is supported right from the "home ground", it will create more opportunities for Vietnamese enterprises to reach the global economy.

In 2016, Nghe An granted business registration certificates to more than 1,500 enterprises, an increase of 18.53% over the same period; the average registered charter capital was about 3.7 billion VND/enterprise./.
