1. To apply for a self-employed business license, you need to prepare a copy of the store’s real estate certificate (if you are renting a house, you must also have a rental agreement), 2 copies of your ID card, and 5 one-inch photos. Go to the local industrial and commercial office to apply for a business license. Then go to the tax department to apply for tax registration. Now it seems that you have to apply for an industry code certificate at the Quality Inspection Bureau. Go to the health department to apply for a health license. Employees must have a health certificate. 2. Applying to open a restaurant requires pre-approval, that is, before obtaining a business license from the industrial and commercial department, you must first obtain a health license and a pollution discharge permit from the environmental protection department. 3. The specific steps are as follows: 1. First take the original and copy of your ID card to the local industrial and commercial office to register your name. Remember, this is just to register a name, and it is not yet time to apply for an industrial and commercial business license. Because before obtaining a business license, you must first go to the environmental protection department and health supervision office within your jurisdiction to apply for a pollution discharge permit and health permit. 2. Application for a pollutant discharge license: Apply to the certification office of the environmental protection bureau in your jurisdiction. After acceptance, the staff will come to your home for inspection and guidance. The two necessary conditions for obtaining a sewage discharge permit are: there must be no residential buildings above the building; and the sewage must be incorporated into municipal sewage pipes. Determine what kind of range hood to install based on the size of the business area. Range hoods that have not been approved for environmental protection will not work. Before deciding to rent a store or renovate it, it is best to consult with the environmental protection department. When some shop owners open and renovate their stores, the smoke exhaust vents or kitchen windows happen to be aimed at the residents behind them. Even if the management department doesn't know about it for a while, the residents behind them will still complain, and in the end they often have to spend money to adjust. 3. Application for a health license: Find the health supervision office within the jurisdiction to apply for acceptance, and then ask the restaurant employees to undergo health inspections and receive food hygiene knowledge training. On the premise of passing the inspection and training, the following aspects will mainly be looked at: first, whether the sanitary facilities are complete, mainly referring to disinfection and cleaning facilities; second, whether the area ratio of the processing place and the business place is reached. Restaurants in different locations will have different proportion requirements, so prior consultation is still necessary. 4. Industrial and commercial business license: After obtaining these two certificates, you can go to the industrial and commercial office to apply for an industrial and commercial business license with these two certificates and the corresponding house rental certificate and ID card. According to regulations, before opening, you need to apply for fire protection approval from the fire department and apply for a fire safety license. This needs to be applied to the jurisdiction when decorating. 5. Tax registration: Within 30 days from the date of receiving the business license, you must apply to the local tax bureau to obtain a local tax registration number. Bring a copy and copy of your business license, as well as the operator's ID card. Small restaurants opened by individual industrial and commercial households must pay 5% business tax. In addition, you need to pay urban construction tax and education surtax. The tax amount is 11% of the business tax. There are also some other taxes, which account for a very small share.

Information 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.
