Can business households establish multiple business locations?

Can business households establish multiple business locations? This is a question that many people are interested in when they need to expand their business activities. Establishing multiple business locations not only helps increase market access but also expands scale and improves business efficiency. However, to do this legally, business households need to clearly understand the relevant regulations. The article below provides detailed information about the process to follow.

Regulations on business locations of business households

According to the provisions of Clause 1, Article 86 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP, business location is the place where the business household carries out specific business activities.

A business household can have many business locations, but must register one location as its headquarters and notify the remaining locations to tax authorities and market management agencies.

At the same time, business households need to notify tax authorities and market management about other locations. This helps authorities monitor activities and ensure compliance with legal obligations. Business households need to comply with this regulation to avoid violating the law and being subject to administrative sanctions.

Can a business household register multiple business locations?

Previously, according to Clause 1, Article 66 and Article 72 of Decree 78/2015/ND-CP, business households were only allowed to register their business at a single location, except for some special cases such as cargo business or mobile business.

However, with current regulations, according to Clause 2, Article 86 of Decree 01/2021/ND-CP, a business household can operate at many business locations, but is only allowed to register one location as its head office.

Business locations outside the head office must be notified to tax authorities and market management agencies where business activities are carried out.
