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 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, and 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 "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 transactions when going out, such as: applying for bank account opening licenses, corporate organization codes certificate, tax registration certificate, signed contract, etc.

Legal basis: Article 6 of the "Company Law of the People's Republic of China" To establish a company, one must apply for establishment registration to the company registration authority in accordance with the law. Those that meet the establishment conditions stipulated in this Law shall be registered as a limited liability company or a joint stock company by the company registration authority; those that do not meet the establishment conditions stipulated in this Law shall not be registered as a limited liability company or a joint stock company. If laws and administrative regulations stipulate that the establishment of a company must be subject to approval, the approval procedures must be completed in accordance with the law before the company is registered. The public may apply to the company registration authority to inquire about company registration matters, and the company registration authority shall provide inquiry services.
