XX county administration for industry and commerce:

Our company received the Notice of Administrative Punishment Hearing from your bureau (xx Industrial and Commercial Case [20XX]No. XX), and fined our company for operating without a license. Therefore, we request your bureau to reduce the punishment for our company, and have the following reasons to reduce it:

1. Our company doesn't have a business license because it takes a long time to apply, so it is really helpless, which is in line with mitigating circumstances.

As our company began to apply for a business license, the process was unfamiliar and the information was not uniform, resulting in a lot of applications and supplementary materials. It's been three months since the application, and we haven't applied yet, so there is a reason.

2. Our company actively accepts and cooperates with your investigation of our company.

Our company has a good attitude of pleading guilty, actively cooperated with your investigation of our company, did not conceal any illegal facts, and actively provided the evidence required by your bureau. Every time your bureau asks to cooperate with the investigation, it is in place on time. In addition, we have no objection to your law enforcement and absolutely obey your determination of our company's illegal behavior. According to Article 20 of the Measures for the Discretion of Administrative Punishment in Provincial Industrial and Commercial Standards: If a party has one of the following circumstances, it shall be given a lighter or mitigated punishment: (8) Having rendered meritorious service in cooperating with the administrative organ in investigating and handling illegal acts; (nine) take the initiative to eliminate or reduce the harmful consequences of illegal acts;

3. Your fine for our company is too large, which makes it difficult to pay.

According to Article 31 of the Administrative Punishment Law of the People's Republic of China and the Administrative Punishment Procedure Regulations of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, your bureau fined our company RMB, which was too heavy. We don't think your bureau has considered our numerous mitigating circumstances according to law. At the same time, because our company has just started a business, it is inefficient, unprofitable and short of funds. If your bureau cashes this penalty, our company is really unable to pay it. To sum up, given that our company has many mitigating circumstances and it is extremely difficult to fund according to law, I hope that your bureau will give our company a chance to turn over a new leaf from the perspective of people-oriented and building a harmonious society.

I hereby appeal.
