Chinese ICP registration
When you willing to do online business in China, you should noticed that you need ICP .. what exactly is ICP?
So ICP is short of Internet Content Provider , according Chinese law if you provide any online content to Chinese citizens , you need a ICP.. (now you know why facebook and google get blocked ? :/ )
But most of people didn’t get it quick well.
ICP has “ICP put on record” and “ICP license” ,
ICP put on record (beian) is easy. lots of hosting company can do it for free.. (but you need due bunch of certifications images… takes you half month. )
But ICP license is a problem…. it’s required so much conditions..
- you need a Chinese citizen owned & controlled company (means Chinese hold at least 51% shares of the company…).
- you need have at least three official employee , I mean official employee ..
- you need at least have three official employee owns “Network administrator certificate ” (I m a IT guy in China, I don’t know what it is…)
- you need ton of paper works ……
- you need wait more then 1 years..
- you need be-careful, some province & cities has their own policy …. like Shanghai ,Guangzhou..
I tell you this , just because I wanna to say, you can give up ..
there are some agencies in the market says can help you get it..(from backdoor…) but cost you 50000 RMB..
so my advice is you just need ICP put on recode . leave the ICP license behind…after you grown up.
I know you could say:” hmmm, you are telling me break the low?”
the really happen is Chinese GOV too busy to change the policy ,and local GOV wanna drive the economies right direction . so the GOV don’t really care about it… even though you running without license….
so here is what we offer:
