What to do if your business license is stolen?

If the business license is stolen, you can apply for loss.

If a business license is lost, it should be declared invalid in the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System and apply for a replacement. It is illegal to use someone else's business license to engage in business activities, and you can complain to the industrial and commercial administration. At the same time, this behavior has constituted an infringement, and you can ask to stop using it through legal channels, eliminate the impact, and compensate for losses.

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. The original and duplicate copies of the business license have the same legal effect and there is no difference in substance. If we talk about the difference, it is just the appearance. In terms of use, the original copy "must be hung" in a conspicuous place in the business premises, otherwise you may be punished for not hanging the license; copies are generally used for business when going out, such as: applying for a bank account opening license, signing a contract, etc.

Industrial and commercial registration requires preparation of the following aspects:

1. "Company Establishment Registration Application" signed by the company's legal representative;

2. Articles of association signed by all shareholders;

3. Qualification certificate of legal person shareholder or ID card of natural person shareholder and its copy;

4. Appointment documents and ID cards of directors, supervisors and managers Copy;

5. Certificate of designated representative or authorized agent;

6. Agent’s ID card and its copy;

7. Certificate of residence use .

Note: The preparation of documents proving the use of residence is divided into the following three situations:

(1) If it is your own property, you need a copy of the real estate certificate and a copy of your own ID card;

(2) If renting a house, a copy of the property certificate signed by the landlord, a copy of the landlord’s ID card, a lease contract signed and sealed by both parties, and a rental invoice are required;

(3 ) If you rent an office building under the name of a company, you need a copy of the real estate certificate with the official seal of the company, a copy of the company's business license, a lease contract signed and sealed by both parties, and a rental invoice.
