It needs to be the same as a business license. There are two types of business licenses. One is a business license for individual industrial and commercial households. It is simple to apply for and has low costs. Anyone can apply for it. The other is a corporate license. You must register an office location, open a public account, keep accounts and file taxes, pay social security, and submit an annual report. To open a Shopee cross-border store, you need a business license, but if you open a different site as the first stop, the requirements for the business license are different.

If you open a Shopee Taiwan site as your first stop, you need to provide a corporate business license or a self-employed business license. You can open one, but providing a corporate business license does not require you to provide the store flow of the e-commerce platform. If you open a Malaysian or Philippine site as your first stop, you need to provide a corporate business license. For other Southeast Asian sites, you need to have a certain performance in the first site store before you can apply to open it.
