This Beijing route is a local implementation example, not a universal national filing route or a decision on foreign-investment access, licensing or entity eligibility.
The Beijing route presents seal engraving, tax-related affairs, employee social-insurance and housing-fund contributions, and bank-account opening as separate optional services alongside registration.
The page distinguishes the required licence application from optional parallel service selections and later departmental or bank handling.
