The first thing to pay attention to is legal and compliant operation. To open a shop and engage in profitable business activities, you need to apply for a business license at the industrial and commercial department. If it is an e-commerce, you can apply for a self-employed business license. Take the self-employed as an example, to apply for a business license, materials need to be prepared: original ID card, proof of registered address (such as land property right certificate or real estate license or lease contract), 2-inch ID photo, and 5-7 store names.

The general steps are:

1. Go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for name registration;

2. Apply to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau for establishment and fill in the relevant forms for handling business licenses;

3. After obtaining the business license, register with the tax authorities for the record.

4. Choose whether to carve the official seal or open the basic deposit account according to your own needs.
