Can self-employed people buy social security and company social security?

Yes, self-employed individuals can pay social security, but they also need to meet certain conditions:

1. If you choose to pay social security as an individual, you can only pay pension insurance and medical insurance. Just take your ID card, application form and two recent one-inch bareheaded photos and go directly to the Social Security Bureau.

But if you pay social security to employees, you have to open your own social security account. Moreover, only those who have registered the business license and organization code can apply for social security account purchase, both of which are indispensable.

Information needed by individual industrial and commercial households for social security

1. Original and stamped copy of industrial and commercial business license;

2. The agency buys the original and stamped copy;

3. The employee has signed the payroll for the past two months;

4. Fill in the personnel increase table;

5. Fill in the insurance declaration form;

6. Copy of the legal person ID card and the ID card of the insured employee;

7. Among them, individual industrial and commercial households may not provide the unit's bank account opening license and monthly accounting vouchers, and the number and details of the submitted materials refer to the requirements of the insurance center.

To sum up, self-employed individuals can buy social security for themselves or employees.
