China’s State Administration for Market Regulation, Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, and National Healthcare Security Administration have jointly issued a notice expanding linked government services for four business procedures, according to a report published by The Paper on November 13, 2026.

The changes build on existing integrated services for company information changes, company deregistration, conversion of an individual business into a company, and company relocation. The notice calls for a single application, coordinated processing and completion through government service platforms.

• Information changes: After a company registers a change with market regulators, the updated information is to be shared with medical insurance authorities so they can update its employer enrollment record.
• Deregistration: The integrated process is being expanded to cover cancellation of housing provident fund employer registration, construction-enterprise qualifications and employer medical insurance enrollment. The procedures described apply to companies without outstanding provident fund contributions or medical insurance payments. Qualification cancellations arising from mergers by absorption are excluded.
• Conversion to a company: Medical insurance authorities are to update the enrollment information of an individual business previously enrolled as an employer, or register the new company if it was not previously enrolled in that capacity.
• Relocation: For companies that have paid their medical insurance contributions in full, authorities in the departure location are to update enrollment information, while those in the destination location handle employer enrollment.

The notice also calls for greater use of electronic business licences to verify information and reduce document submissions. Local market regulators are instructed to coordinate with housing and medical insurance authorities on procedures, system connections, guidance and staff training to put the expanded services into practice.
