According to the regulations, the state can't change the use privately, but at present, the local governments are not strict with these management, and the industrial and commercial bureaus generally handle them.

To rent a house to do business and apply for a business license, the process is as follows:

1. First of all, we must first give a shop name. The name on the business license is composed of administrative division+shop name+industry characteristics+organizational form. It is best to prepare more, and it is easy to duplicate the name. Where pre-approval procedures are required (catering service license, hygiene license, etc.), the industrial and commercial department will issue a notice of name pre-approval, valid for half a year, and then apply for a business license after the pre-approval certificate is completed.

2. Identification of employees

The applicant's identity documents (ID card, household registration book, household registration certificate issued by the public security department, etc.) and a 1-inch bareheaded photo are stipulated in the registration regulations of individual industrial and commercial households, but in fact, it is rare, and the identity documents of the power of attorney, the client and the client are required.

3. Proof of business site

If it is a self-owned house, provide a copy of the property right certificate. If it is a rented house, the applicant should ask for the landlord's identity certificate and a copy of the property right certificate after signing the rental agreement with the landlord. (If there is no property right certificate, the village committee or neighborhood committee should issue a certificate of the ownership of the house.) If the property right certificate is not a commercial house (such as a village homestead), it is also necessary to issue a certificate of the house being converted from residential to commercial and residential use at the village committee or neighborhood committee where the house is located.

Note:

1. All the materials provided for handling the business license of individual industrial and commercial households at the sub-bureaus or offices at the district and town levels are one copy.

2. The business license of individual industrial and commercial households has no validity period.

3. At present, the industrial and commercial departments no longer require foreign operators to provide temporary residence permits and family planning certificates.
