How many companies and households can a person open?

A natural person can register multiple companies, and the number is unlimited. A person can only register one self-employed person. Self-employed is the common name of urban and rural individual industrial and commercial households, and is a self-reliant worker who does not exploit others within the scope permitted by our laws.

The registration authorities of individual industrial and commercial households in cities with districts are mostly district-level industrial and commercial sub-bureaus, and different districts belong to different areas under the jurisdiction of the registration authorities. When approving the names of district-level industrial and commercial branches, administrative divisions must be divided. Different administrative divisions can have the same font size. According to relevant regulations, if it is a one-person limited liability company, only one ID card can be registered. If it is a sole proprietorship enterprise or self-employed, there is no corresponding legal restriction. Citizens with operational ability refer to individual industrial and commercial households registered by the administrative department for industry and commerce in accordance with the provisions of these regulations. Individual industrial and commercial households can operate independently or at home. The legitimate rights and interests of individual industrial and commercial households are protected by law, and no unit or individual may infringe upon them.

Those who apply for registration as individual industrial and commercial households shall apply to the registration authority where the business premises are located. The applicant shall submit an application for registration, identity certificate and proof of business premises. The registered items of individual industrial and commercial households include the name and domicile, composition, business scope and business premises of the operators. Individual industrial and commercial households use the name, with the name as a registered item.
