In Chinese company law, dissolution registration occurs when a business entity has wound up its business, been terminated, declared bankruptcy, or otherwise becomes unable to operate, and the business regulatory agency files a registration document to terminate its legal entity status or right to do business. Approval of this registration requires voiding the company’s registration number and seizing its business license and corporate seals. Additionally, a legal entity who has not commenced business or stopped business within six months of receiving its certificate of formation will be deemed to have wound up its business.
