The supporting policies by the Small and Medium Business Administration are for the individuals who owned companies and companies so specifically they are supposed to be targeted for the companies rather than the individuals. As such there are the policies to encourage and fulfill the need for the handicapped to start up the companies but the most of the prospective the disabled enterprise is afraid of opening business and the policies have limitation in realizing much achievement so far.
Therefore it is imperative to make comprehensive policies to help the handicapped’ companies with operation and business improvement. Now the policy needs are inclined to be enlarged and varied so it becomes to need more to have more specific, professional government services and proper policies. It is the timing for cognitive research to measure the policy effects.

We think that among supporting policies for the economic activities of the handicapped, the job training, education and handicapped employment related matters should go to ministry of employment, and the disabled enterprise and supporting initiatives for the standard business which have been treated by ministry of public health and welfare should go to the Small and Medium Business
Secondly, regarding to some definition about the disabled enterprise in the Promotional regulation for the disabled enterprise, it needs revise the some unrealistic definitions.
Thirdly, the tax supporting policy is needed
Fourthly, it needs to define minimum procurement ratio enforced by the government from tthe disabled enterprise to enlarge sales channels.
Fifthly, it needs to enlarge the organization and scale of the disabled enterprise business center.
In conclusion there have been a lot of supporting policies related disabled enterprise but it has showed limitation. In case of the start up, the governmental policies need to put the target not on the individual support but on the business support and such governmental support should be enlarged to induce more proactive and productive economic activities.
