2. Business license: apply for a business license, which is the basic proof of legal operation and needs to be applied to the local administrative department for industry and commerce.

3. Food business license: issued by the relevant food supervision and administration department, which proves that your flour mill meets the food hygiene and safety standards and can operate food processing business.

4. Production license: For the flour production process, you may need to apply for a production license, which is issued by relevant local departments to ensure that your production process conforms to relevant standards and regulations.

5. Environmental assessment and pollutant discharge permit: If your flour mill discharges waste water or waste gas, you may need to conduct environmental assessment and obtain pollutant discharge permit to ensure that your production activities meet environmental protection requirements.
