What if you have a self-employed business license and no business?

If you have a self-employed business license, if you have no business, you can cancel it. 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. 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. If the business is closed, there is no cancellation, and there is no annual inspection, the industrial and commercial bureau will automatically revoke the business license of the party concerned.

Opening a store without a business license will not be punished, because the law only stipulates that opening a store must apply for a business license, but it does not say what punishment will be imposed if you do not open a store after applying for a business license.

For business activities involving human health, public safety, production safety, environmental protection, development and utilization of natural resources that must be approved by laws and regulations, the licensing examination and approval department must strictly implement the licensing examination and approval in accordance with the conditions and procedures stipulated by laws and regulations. The administrative department for industry and commerce must go through the registration formalities with the license of the license examination and approval department or other approval documents, and issue a business license.

Four situations will be included in the business exception list:

1, the enterprise fails to publicize the annual report information within the prescribed time limit; Included in the service exception list.
