Legal analysis: To apply for a business license, you usually go to the local industrial and commercial department. A business license is a certificate issued by the industrial and commercial administration authority to industrial and commercial enterprises and self-employed individuals allowing them to engage in certain production and business activities. Its format is uniformly stipulated by the State Administration for Market Regulation. 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.

Legal basis: Article 78 of the "People's Republic of China and Civil Code" For a for-profit legal person established in accordance with the law, the registration authority shall issue a business license to the for-profit legal person. The date of issuance of the business license shall be the date of establishment of the for-profit legal person.
