I suggest you register as a "business investigation center", which is to provide paid services for institutions and a few people.
3. Private detective agency is a typical "selling a piece of leather goods". If the development goal is not to open a chain in Grade A office buildings, it is difficult to sign contracts with customers. As far as I know,
As a profession, "private detective" has not been recognized by our government. 1993, the Ministry of Public Security issued a notice prohibiting any unit or individual from setting up various forms of private detective offices such as civil investigation offices and public security investigation offices. The businesses explicitly prohibited include: accepting civil and economic disputes, recovering debts, consulting on safety technology, and investigating personal privacy.
At the end of 2002, the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce adjusted the scope of trademark classification registration, expanding the original 42 categories of goods and services trademark registration to 45 categories, among which the newly added permitted registration categories include providing private bodyguards, detective companies, tracing investigations and other "security services". However, allowing registration does not mean that private detectives are prohibited in China. The Zhejiang Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce said that successful trademark registration does not mean that you can engage in business activities covered by trademarks. The business activities of an enterprise must be strictly limited to the scope approved by the industrial and commercial business license. At present, enterprise registration has not involved the scope of detectives.
Despite all kinds of restrictions, in recent years, more and more companies have taken the name of "transaction investigation center" and "transaction investigation office". Public affairs investigation agencies have a wide range of business, including tracing people, emotional loyalty investigation, children's behavior monitoring, large debt recovery, whereabouts investigation, credit investigation, intellectual property investigation, counterfeiting and rights protection, economic intelligence investigation and so on.
According to Min Xu, director of the Organizing Committee of China Business Survey Hangzhou Summit in 2003, there are about 1000 such legal or unincorporated organizations in China, with tens of thousands of employees. Zhejiang Wanma Law Firm, the organizer of this conference, has set up an unincorporated institution, namely the Public Affairs Investigation Center. Chang Jianjun, executive director of the law firm, said that the public affairs investigation center undertakes the functions of "collecting evidence" and "investigating public affairs" of the law firm.
"Public affairs investigation is not equal to private detectives. There is no real private detective in China."
