FAQ

Common Questions

When does my business license need to be renewed?

Chinese business licenses must be renewed annually. The annual report is typically due before June 30 each year, covering activity for the prior fiscal year. Missing this deadline can result in your company being flagged as non-compliant.

What is the penalty for late renewal?

Late annual reports result in fines and your company being listed on the national enterprise credit system as non-compliant. This can affect your ability to open bank accounts, sign contracts, and win bids. Repeated failures can lead to forced deregistration.

Can I change my business scope after registration?

Yes. Business scope changes require an amendment filing with the Administration for Market Regulation. We handle the paperwork and government liaison for scope changes, registered address changes, and legal representative changes.

What if I want to close my company?

Deregistration (注销) is a separate process involving tax clearance, social insurance clearance, and AMR filing. We can advise on and assist with this process if needed.
