According to the Measures for the Administration of Registration of Domiciles (Business Places) of Market Subjects, if market subjects (except branches and individual industrial and commercial households) set up branches in the same county-level administrative division where their residences are located, they are only allowed to register one business place, and there is no need to register the establishment of branches. At the same time, the same address is also allowed to be registered as the residence (business place) of multiple market entities.

In other words, enterprises do not need to apply for more business licenses to open branches. A business license can register the addresses of multiple business premises.

However, there are two situations:

1. If the branch and the head office are in the same administrative area, you only need to bring the business license of the head office, fill out a form in the administrative department for industry and commerce and record the address of the branch office. The original business license of the branch company can also be reissued to the industrial and commercial office in the jurisdiction, and the fee is 10 yuan.

2. If the branch and the head office are not in the same administrative area, you need to register with the industrial and commercial department where the branch is located with a copy of your head office's business license, legal person ID card and documents for setting up the branch.

Extended data:

Business license is a certificate issued by the administrative department for industry and commerce to industrial and commercial enterprises and individual operators to engage in certain production and business activities. Its format shall be uniformly stipulated by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

The registered items include: name, address, person in charge, amount of funds, economic composition, business scope, business mode, number of employees, business period, etc. Business licenses are divided into originals and duplicates, which have the same legal effect. The original shall be placed in a prominent position in the company's domicile or business premises, and the business license shall not be forged, altered, leased, lent or transferred.

Without a business license, industrial and commercial enterprises or individual operators are not allowed to start business, engrave official seals, sign contracts, register trademarks or advertise, and banks are not allowed to open accounts.
