How can I tell whether it is a foreign-funded enterprise or a domestic-funded enterprise from the business license?

There will be no annotation on the business license of domestic-funded enterprises (that is, there will be no brackets in the "Company Type"). Foreign-invested enterprises are divided into: Sino-foreign joint ventures, Sino-foreign cooperation, foreign-funded enterprises, foreign-owned joint-stock companies, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan joint ventures, etc.

For details, please refer to the fourth line on the business license: company type. The brackets indicate that the business license has been annotated and it is a foreign-invested enterprise. Domestic-funded enterprises are divided into: limited liability companies, joint stock companies, general partnerships, limited partnerships, special general partnerships, one-person limited liability companies, etc. And there are no more parentheses on the side.

In foreign-funded enterprises, foreign investors can invest in foreign currencies or legally obtained RMB. There is no restriction on this. Therefore, don’t think that it is not foreign investment when you see it is RMB investment. To see if it is foreign investment, just check whether there are brackets or not.

A business license is a certificate issued by the industrial and commercial administration authority to industrial and commercial enterprises and individual traders allowing them to engage in certain production and business activities.
