Quick answer
The business license proves legal existence: it identifies the holder, registered address, business scope and legal representative, cross-checked against the application, factory documents and authorization. Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan or foreign-invested firms also upload an equivalent registration certificate with a translation. As a BPJPH-recognized LHLN, Good Fortune Halal checks the entity chain; a missing or expired license is returned before acceptance.
Detailed explanation
Three functions of the entity file
- It proves the company legally exists and defines who holds the certificate.
- It fixes the registered address and its link to the production site.
- It confirms the business scope covers the declared categories and that the legal representative can grant authorization.
Where files go in the system
The business license is uploaded under entity qualifications; the production permit and export filings go separately under production qualifications, rather than merged into one PDF. The legal representative's identity document follows the authorization page; reversing this order adds verification work at acceptance.
Foreign and cross-border ownership
A Hong Kong-invested manufacturer may upload the Business Registration Certificate and Certificate of Incorporation; Taiwan-funded and foreign-funded firms upload incorporation and good-standing documents with a translation. Many Xiamen contractors have both onshore and offshore holding structures, so the applicant entity and shareholder papers must be presented separately. An LHLN can compare the chain in writing before filing.
