Business Lines That Need Sublicense

In the process of establishing, businesses need to conduct the declaration of registered business lines as prescribed by law. For ordinary professions, businesses only need to encode the professions according to the encoding system in accordance with the law.

However, for some conditional business lines, in addition to the declaration in accordance with regulations, enterprises have to fully satisfy the prescribed conditions such as legal capital or business licenses (sublicense).

Moreover, enterprises need to pay attention to some lines of business that require sublicense during the business registration process, which includes:
