First of all, you need to decide whether to apply for a self-employed business license or an enterprise business license. I personally suggest that it is better to apply for a self-employed business license. The procedure is simple, the cost is low, and the annual license verification procedures in the future are also convenient.

Go to the health department to apply for a food hygiene license, go to the tax department to apply for tax registration, and store staff need to apply for a health certificate.

If you don’t know where to go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, Industrial and Commercial Office, or the Administrative Service Center to apply for a business license, you can ask the owner of the store next to you. It only costs 23 yuan to apply for a self-employed business license.

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. Its format is uniformly stipulated by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The registration matters are: name, address, person in charge, amount of funds, economic composition, business scope, business method, number of employees, business period, etc. The business license is divided into original and duplicate, both of which have the same legal effect.

The original copy shall be placed in a conspicuous place at the company's residence or business premises, and the business license shall not be forged, altered, rented, lent or transferred.

Industrial and commercial enterprises or self-employed individuals without a business license are not allowed to open their business. They are not allowed to engrave official seals, sign contracts, register trademarks, or publish advertisements. They are not allowed to open bank accounts.
