There are three forms to join a chain store (it refers to the nature of the company, and individuals can operate directly according to the rules):

1. Direct chain stores, that is, the assets of the chain stores are all the assets of the head office, and the corporate legal person is the same person, operating under the leadership of the head office, which is essentially the relationship between the head office and its branches. Apply for business license and tax registration according to the procedures of the branch (proof of going out for business activities is required in other places), and the income tax can be paid back to the head office. Features: the procedure is relatively simple and the expenses are relatively small.

2. Non-direct chain stores, that is, most of the assets of chain stores are controlled by the head office, but they carry out business activities or civil activities in their own names, independently calculate profits and losses and bear the consequences and responsibilities of the company's actions, and major decisions or major personnel arrangements are still decided by the head office. In essence, it is equivalent to the relationship between the head office and its subsidiaries, which is just the tax paid by the newly-established company in the local area, without going back to the head office to collect taxes. Features: more procedures, more complicated procedures, and higher expenses

3. Voluntary chain stores, that is, chain stores established by other independent legal persons after the franchise of the head office, have the same ownership of their assets, signed contracts with the head office, and obtained the franchise to use the trademark, trade name, management technology and sales of goods developed by the head office. Features: The procedure is the simplest and the cost is the least.
