The business license has functions of the above certificates.
2. Vertical license.
In order to be consistent with nationwide license, the business license of the corporate legal person, the business license of the unincorporated business, the business license of the branch, and the business license of the individual-owned business, which are currently implemented in Shenzhen, are merged into a single layout of business license, and the previous horizontal license is changed to a vertical license.
