A registered trademark needs to provide a business license, not necessarily the company's. You can go to the local industrial and commercial department to obtain the business license of a sole proprietorship enterprise or limited company, and then apply for trademark registration.
Therefore, to sum up, applying for trademark registration requires at least a business license.
