For cross-border e-commerce, it is best to register a company business license, because some cross-border e-commerce platforms have closed the channels for self-employed individuals to enter. Shenzhen and Hangzhou can be said to be the capitals of e-commerce. Taking Shenzhen as an example, let’s talk about the process of applying for an e-commerce business license: 1. Information required for applying for an e-commerce business license 1. Company name (Shenzhen city + trade name + industry + enterprise type, Such as Shenzhen Jinmi Finance and Taxation E-Commerce Co., Ltd.) 2. Registered address house code: there is no address to be affiliated; 3. Registered capital: Subscription system, only one number needs to be subscribed, and there is no need to prepare so much funds for registration 4. Business scope : You can refer to the business scope of companies in the same industry. Now you don’t have to write it yourself. Just fill it out in the system. However, you should pay attention to the sorting, which will affect the company’s tax payment. 5. Legal person information: ID card photo or copy, mobile phone number and email address; 6. Shareholder information: ID card photo or copy, mobile phone number and email address; 7. Supervisor information: Supervisors cannot be legal persons or general managers, but can be shareholders , so registering a company requires at least two people. 8. Signature U-Shield or digital certificate: For online declaration of signature, U-Shield must be processed locally in Shenzhen. U-Shield from other places cannot be used. 2. Process tips for registering an e-commerce business license 1: Be sure to prepare a few more company names. Prevent duplicate names to improve the name verification pass rate. Tip 2: The process is: name verification—submit information—download signature document, submit industrial and commercial signature—receive business license after review—seal engraving—open bank account—tax report—process required qualifications. Tip 3: Go to the one-window platform for starting a business on the website of the Shenzhen Market Supervision Bureau, or go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in the jurisdiction where the registered address is located. If you are afraid of trouble, you can leave it to a third party. Tip 4: After obtaining the business license, go to the competent tax bureau to make tax reports within 15 days. Accounts and taxes must be filed on time every month. Pay attention to the company's status with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the tax bureau. If there are any abnormalities, apply for removal in time. Trademarks must also be filed as early as possible. Put it on the schedule to prevent infringement. 3. Six major questions about Amazon business license 1. Can I register an Amazon store with my newly issued business license? Yes. You can also apply to register an Amazon store with the business license you just applied for. 2. How to write the address on the business license? There are no strict requirements for the address to be filled in on the business license. Some sellers ask, I am in Guangdong and my business license is located in Sichuan or Jiangxi. Will it affect the registration of Amazon stores? The location of the business license will not affect the pass rate of Amazon store registration, nor will it cause a second trial due to different locations. Or the review fails. If you really don’t have an office address, you can write your own home address. However, I would like to remind everyone that the address filled in when registering for Amazon must be consistent with the address on your business license, otherwise it is very likely to trigger the second review. 3. Business license Can I buy it? Yes, but it is not recommended that you buy it online. After all, you don’t know whether the other party is reliable. Secondly, the purchased information may be used multiple times, which will affect the review results. It is recommended that you register one yourself. If you really can't register, you can find a business license held by a relative or friend. 4. Should newbies register for a self-employed business license or a company business license? It is recommended that everyone must register for a company business license. There are two types of business licenses, one for self-employed persons and the other for enterprises. Generally speaking, it is recommended to use a business license to register. First, it will be easier to apply for a company's business license on Amazon; second, because Amazon's threshold will become higher and higher, and Amazon may not accept self-employed applications in the future. Therefore, for the sake of the long term, it is recommended that everyone register for a limited company. The business license of a responsible company, and the Amazon European site does not accept the business license of a self-employed individual. 5. Do the business scope and the categories to be sold have to be consistent? On Amazon, the official does not give very clear requirements for the business scope of the business license of a company that registers an Amazon store. The business scope of your business license is inconsistent with the categories you sell, and it does not affect your sales. Amazon only requires that your business license has sales. However, in China, if the business scope of your business license is completely inconsistent with what you have been selling, someone may complain to you, and the Industry and Commerce Bureau will issue you a fine. Therefore, for long-term considerations, it is recommended that you fill in the business scope and the categories you want to sell on Amazon in the future, and try to ensure that you do not deviate too far.

6. Can one business license apply for multiple sites? One business license can register for multiple sites, but one ID card can only apply for one business license. If you want to apply for multiple stores on the same site, you need to apply for multiple business licenses, and be sure that the ID card used to apply for the business license has not opened any other Amazon stores, otherwise it will cause store association.
