Shandong Pushes 'One-Person Companies': I Tested the Process and Found Barriers Halved

Honestly, several friends around me have been wrestling with one question lately: Is solo entrepreneurship actually viable? The old answer was "very hard," because you'd need to code, design, handle ops, and manage customer service—impossible for one person to do a whole team's job. But things are different now; AI tools have flattened many steps. Shandong recently rolled out a policy specifically promoting the "One Person Company" (OPC) model. I spent last afternoon mapping out the process and found the barrier to entry has indeed dropped significantly.
