Can a company carve its official seal without a business license?
A company can't engrave its official seal without a business license. It is illegal to engrave the official seal privately.

industrial and commercial enterprises or individual operators without business licenses are not allowed to start business, carve official seals, sign contracts, register trademarks or advertise, and banks are not allowed to open accounts.

Any company or enterprise that engraves seals must rely on its business license and the Registration Certificate for Foreign-funded Enterprises. If the enterprise is a Sino-foreign joint venture or Sino-foreign cooperative enterprise, it must go to the public security organ at or above the county level where the unit is located to handle the seal engraving notice or letter of introduction, and then engrave it at the engraving factory or engraving shop designated by the public security organ with the notice or letter of introduction.
