With the rapid development of China's socialist economy, all kinds of enterprises appear constantly. Company registration requires a business license, which represents the company's regularity and legitimacy and is protected by law. In enterprises or other business-oriented places, a formal business license is necessary, which means that the state recognizes and allows business.

1. Where can I apply for a business license?

Generally, to apply for a business license is to go to the local industrial and commercial department.

Second, the handling process

1. Go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and get an Application Form for Pre-approval of Enterprise (font size) Name, and fill in the company name you want. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau will search online (the intranet of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau) to see if there are duplicate names. If there is no duplicate name, you can use that name and issue the Notice of Pre-approval of Enterprise (Brand Name). This step charges 30 yuan. 30 yuan can help you find five names, many of which are repeated, so you don't have to try common names to avoid wasting money.

2. Go to a special office building to rent an office. If you have your own factory or office, you can do this. In some places, you are not allowed to work in residential buildings. After renting a house, you should sign a rental contract and ask the landlord to provide a copy of the real estate license. After signing the rental contract, you have to go to the tax bureau to buy stamp duty, and the tax rate is one thousandth of the annual rent. For example, if your annual rent is 65,438+00,000 yuan, you need to buy stamp duty of 65,438+00 yuan and post it on the front page of the rental contract. Any place that needs to use the rental contract in the future needs a copy of the contract with stamp duty. You can download a sample of the Articles of Association from the website of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and just modify it. The Articles of Association shall be finally signed by all shareholders. Go to the place where the seal is engraved on the street and carve a private seal. Tell them about carving a corporate seal (square). The cost is around 20 yuan. Contact the accounting firm and get the "bank confirmation letter" (it must be the original, and the accounting firm will stamp it with a fresh seal). If you are not clear, you can look at the classified advertisements in the newspaper. There are many advertisements in accounting firms.

Obtain various forms of company establishment registration from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, including the application form for establishment registration, the register of shareholders (promoters), the registration form of directors, managers, supervisors, legal representatives, designated representatives or entrusted agents, etc. Fill it out and submit it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together with the Notice of Name Approval, Articles of Association, Rental Contract, Copy of Property Ownership Certificate and Capital Verification Report. You can get the license in about three working days. The cost is around 300 yuan. With the business license, engrave the official seal and financial seal at the engraving institution designated by the Public Security Bureau. In the following steps, you need to use the official seal or financial seal.

3. With the business license, go to the Technical Supervision Bureau to apply for the organization code certificate, and the cost is 80 yuan. With business license and organization code certificate, go to the bank to open basic deposit account. It is best to do it in the same branch of the bank that did the capital verification at the beginning, otherwise a capital verification account fee of 100 yuan will be charged. Opening a basic deposit account requires a lot of forms. You'd better take everything you can, or you'll have to make many trips, including the original business license, ID card, organization code certificate, public property stamp and legal person stamp. When you open basic deposit account, you need to buy a cipher (since the second half of 2005, most banks have this requirement), and the cipher needs 280 yuan. In the future, your company will need to use a cipher to generate passwords when writing checks and withdrawing money.

4. After obtaining the license, go to the local tax bureau for tax registration certificate within 30 days. General companies need to apply for two kinds of tax registration certificates, national tax and local tax. 40 yuan 80 yuan. When handling the tax registration certificate, you must have an accountant, because one of the materials required by the tax bureau is the accounting qualification certificate and ID card. You can hire a part-time accountant first. The salary of a part-time accountant just hired by a small company is generally enough in 200 yuan. Apply for an invoice. If your company sells goods, you should apply for an invoice in the national tax. If it is a service company, you should apply for an invoice in the local tax. Pay attention to tax returns on time every month. Even if you don't need to pay taxes if you don't start business, you should declare it at zero, otherwise you will be fined.

To sum up, operators must apply for a business license to operate enterprises or business premises, otherwise they will operate without a license and will be punished by the industrial and commercial departments. The function of business license is not only to operate legally, but also to limit the scope of business. Enterprises shall not engage in business activities beyond the scope of business. On the question of where to apply for a business license, the answer is that the place and process of applying for a business license are different from place to place, basically the same, and they can all be handled in the local company department.
