Is it legal for the company to operate across regions?

Legal analysis: unreasonable, cross-regional operation is normal, of course, can not be punished. In fact, the reason for industrial and commercial punishment is not cross-regional operation, but that the local industrial and commercial registration was not carried out in time when the branches (institutions) were established. However, the spirit of the law is that those found in the inspection should be ordered to handle the relevant registration, and those who fail to do so within the time limit should be punished.
