  • to the property of which their founders do not retain property rights ( public associations, public foundations and religious associations)

Forms

Individual entrepreneur is not a legal entity, but is subject to civil and labor legislation legal entities, unless otherwise provided by law.

Society with limited liability(OOO). Members of the company are liable for obligations within the framework of authorized capital. The authorized capital is divided into shares of participants in the LLC. The shares of participants in the authorized capital of an LLC are not securities and are not subject to the legislation on securities, in this regard, increasing the authorized capital in an LLC is a simpler procedure than in a closed joint-stock company. The nature of the relationship between LLC participants and transactions with their shares in the authorized capital are more closed than in CJSC and LLC: LLC has the opportunity complete ban or a significant restriction on the entry of new participants. For example, the charter of an LLC may stipulate a direct prohibition on the alienation by participants of their shares to third parties, or the consent of the remaining participants of the LLC to such transactions. The LLC charter may include special conditions distribution of profits between the founders. Information about LLC participants is included in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and is publicly available. LLC is the most common form of legal entity in small business. 92% of all legal entities in Russia are LLCs.

Closed Joint Stock Company (CJSC). The authorized capital is divided into shares of participants. Shares of a closed joint-stock company are issue-grade securities and the closed joint-stock company is subject to securities legislation. In a closed joint-stock company, due to the need to issue new shares, the procedure for increasing the authorized capital is much more complicated than in an LLC. A closed joint-stock company is a company that is more open to access by third parties than an LLC. The transfer of shares does not require the consent of the CJSC itself and its other shareholders, but the charter specifies restrictions on such transactions. The size of dividends depends on the number of shares owned by the participant and the law stipulates the timing of payments to shareholders of the CJSC. Data about the shareholders of the closed joint stock company is not publicly available and they are not included in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. From September 1, 2014, changes were made to the Civil Code and now all CJSC companies will be called non-public joint stock companies(NAO), but even more abbreviated as AO.

Open Joint Stock Company (OJSC). In general, this form is similar to a closed joint stock company. The difference is that LLC shares can be sold without the consent of other members of the company. The number of shareholders of an OJSC is not limited. JSC shares can be distributed by open and closed subscription. The authorized capital of the JSC must be more than 100,000 rubles. This form of legal entity is created to conduct large business. From September 1, 2014, changes were made to the Civil Code and now all OJSC companies will be called public joint-stock companies (PJSC).

Other forms of legal entities.

  • Full partnership (full liability of the participants for the debts of the partnership with all their property)
  • Limited partnership (full partnership plus contributors who are responsible only within the framework of the contribution)
  • Company with additional liability, ALC (unlike an LLC, participants bear additional liability with their property)
  • Production cooperative (at least 5 people, can, contrary to the name, be created to provide services)

Legal entity licenses

An organization can engage in some types of activities only after obtaining a license or permit. Licensed activities of legal entities include: travel agency, pharmaceutical, private investigation, transportation of goods and passengers by rail, sea, air, as well as others.

The organization cannot engage closed views activities. These types of activities include the development and/or sale of military products, trafficking in narcotic drugs, poisons, etc.

Penalties are the same for everyone (1/300 (1/150 from day 30) multiplied by key rate Central Bank per day of the amount of non-payment) and now amount to about 10% per annum (which is not very much in my opinion, taking into account the fact that banks give loans at a minimum of 17-20%). You can count them.

Liquidation of a legal entity can be voluntary or forced. The liquidation procedure is long and no less complicated than registration.

What do you need to know before starting an LLC registration?


When an entrepreneur begins to decide to open an LLC, he must determine several important points.

This knowledge will be required when filling out the papers.

There is no point in postponing the decision until later, since all the questions raised below will require a lot of time to resolve.

Choosing a name for an LLC in Moscow

Perhaps the only stage of registration at which you will need to have a good imagination.

Of course, you can also use “the help of the audience,” i.e. contact friends, social surveys in in social networks and even advertising companies.

There are some basic tips for choosing an LLC name:

  • the name should be easy to write and remember;
  • Remember that the direction of the LLC may change in the future, and do not choose names associated with the activities of the company;
  • psychologists believe that a name composed according to the following formula is ideally perceived: 2 words – noun + adjective.

Banned by the state:

  • use of names of cities and regions of the country;
  • LLC names, which, without approval from government agencies, include the words “Moscow”, “federal”, all derivatives and the word “Russia” itself;
  • any words that may offend moral principles, people's rights, discriminatory expressions;
  • the name of LLC cannot be written in any letters except Russian; It is also unacceptable to use such signs as &, @.

Also, obviously, the name must be unique. You can check this fact before visiting the tax office.

Use these resources:


Why do you need a legal address for an LLC?


To open an LLC, you must indicate a legal address.

It is required in case scheduled inspections, official documents will also be sent to it.

And at this address they will look for guidance in case of emergency.

Of course, a legal address is not taken out of thin air.

The law allows for the residential address of the director of the Company to be used.

But it is better to use data from office premises for these purposes.

As a rule, in practice, actual activities are not often carried out at a legal address. That is why, in addition to the legal address, the documents also indicate the actual address of the company.

The main thing is that there is an address at all. Otherwise it won’t work in Moscow.

What to do if you don't have legal address?

    Rent an office space.

    In this situation, you will need to include in the list of documentation to open an LLC, letter of guarantee(sample letter below).

    Contact any private office in Moscow, which provides the service of “renting” a legal address.
    As a rule, the address is “removed” for six months to a year.

    The cost will vary depending on the location region and duration.

    For Moscow, for example, the average price will be 1500-2000 rubles.

How to choose an OKVED code?


OKVED codes are another category of information that will need to be specified when registering an LLC in Moscow.

The entrepreneur must select 1 code from the classifier, which will indicate the main type of employment + no more than 19 additional codes.

As a rule, no one is limited to one code, because... LLCs are multifunctional organizations.

But you shouldn’t go too far, trying to use all 20 possibilities.

Subsequently, codes can be added by sending a corresponding application to tax office.

You will find a catalog of OKVED codes directly from the government agency you contact for registration.

If you want to prepare in advance or submit documents remotely, look for suitable codes here: http://okved2.ru/.

Note! You need OKVED-2. According to Rosstandart order No. 1745, it comes into force on 01/01/17. Accordingly, OKVED-1 ceases to be valid.

What is Authorized Capital?


One of the important stages, without which it is impossible to open an LLC, is the formation of the authorized capital (at least 10,000 rubles).

As a rule, in practice it is many times larger).

If there are several founders, each contributes a part, and the Charter of the company states who owns what percentage.

This is important because Depending on this rate, a portion of the Company's income is subsequently paid.

All contributions are made to a regular bank account, which will subsequently be “re-qualified” into the Authorized Capital.

When the deposit procedure is completed, the entrepreneur must receive a receipt that confirms the fact of payment. This check is one of important documents necessary to open an LLC.

The law provides for the opportunity to contribute only 50% of the authorized capital by the time of filing papers for registration of the Company.

The remaining half must be paid during the year.

Selecting the type of taxation


When submitting papers to open an LLC in Moscow, an entrepreneur can indicate the desired tax format.

Those who cannot do this have a chance to apply for a transition to the simplified tax system within another month.

The next opportunity will be available only after a year.

To switch to the chosen taxation system, an application in two copies of the established form is attached to the list of documents:

All those who do not make an informed choice automatically fall under OSNO.

This system also has its advantages, however negative reviews She still received more from the entrepreneurs.

How to open an LLC in Moscow: 4 ways to submit papers


Even if we discard the option of filing through an intermediary company, there are still several ways to submit papers.

Unfortunately, this is not always possible.

Therefore, it is useful for everyone to know in what other ways they can transfer documents to the Federal Tax Service in order to open an LLC.

1. Personal inspection visit

A personal visit to the tax office is the easiest and most reliable way hand over a package of papers.

Agree, it is better to resolve any questions regarding LLC on the spot, by personally discussing it with representatives of the institution.

Even though you will have to stand in eternal queues for some time.

You can also transfer documents with the help of a trusted person (of course, notarized).

To find out which address in Moscow to contact, go here: https://service.nalog.ru/addrno.do.

2. Transfer through the MFC in Moscow


Multifunctional centers are, roughly speaking, representative offices of the Federal Tax Service. Therefore, you can also transfer documents with their help - by visiting in person or by sending confidant.

MFC provides clients with an excellent service that will save your time - signing up for an electronic queue.

Look for the right branch in Moscow here: http://xn--l1aqg.xn--p1ai/mfc/index/queues.

3. Sending by mail

This is far from the most reliable way to open an LLC.

Therefore, you should use it only as a last resort (if you have no way of getting to the right tax office).

When sending papers by letter, they also need to be certified by a notary.

Such “cargo” is sent by a valuable letter with an inventory of the contents.

You can also use courier services DHL and Pony Express, but this is only permissible in Moscow!

Look for the address on the same section of the Federal Tax Service website: https://service.nalog.ru/addrno.do.

4. Open an LLC thanks to the online service

The fourth option is the most “advanced”.

You don't even need to get up from your chair. But you will have to tinker with setting up the computer according to the service rules.

All the details of using the online application service and how to set it up we're talking about, read carefully on the Federal Tax Service website: https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/service/gosreg_eldocs/.

What happens after?

The collected package of documents is accepted by the tax inspector (if you personally visited the branch) and issues a receipt.

For other methods of submitting documents, this item is skipped.

If you did everything correctly, after 3 days (working days!) you will receive documents that will confirm: you were able to successfully open an LLC in Moscow.

You need to come for them in person or send a trusted representative.

Also, the papers can be sent to you by mail to the address specified during registration (therefore, carefully check its correctness when filling out the application!).

Attention! We must not forget that even this strict tax inspector in front of you is still a living person. No one is immune from mistakes. Therefore, carefully check the issued certificate!

What questions remain if the LLC was successfully opened?

Even after the LLC registration papers are in the hands of the founder(s), a number of organizational issues still remain. Let's sort them out.

1. Order printing in Moscow

Unlike an individual entrepreneur, an LLC obliges the owner to order a seal for the Company.

It will be required when concluding transactions, confirming contracts, in general, in any situations where it is necessary to certify documents from the “person” of the LLC.

Getting a seal is extremely easy.

It is enough to contact any company in Moscow that provides such a service.

Take with you:

  • certificate with the specified OGRN code;
  • certificate of assignment;
  • an amount of about 400 - 1,000 rubles (relevant for Moscow).

There are no restrictions on the design of the seal for an LLC entrepreneur.

You will be offered a catalog from which you can choose any sample you like.

The production of the item will take some time, although urgent execution can also be ordered in Moscow.

Don't forget to buy ink!

2. How to open a current account for an LLC in Moscow?

If for an individual entrepreneur the need for a current account can still be challenged, then for an LLC in Moscow it will be necessary to open one.

Moreover, this is done “as soon as possible.”

Why do you need to open this account?

  • Preserve LLC capital.
  • Receive payment for services.
  • Make payments to partners.

Without a current account, conducting all financial transactions would be hard labor! Therefore, there is no way to do without it.

It is worth adding that you should choose a bank in Moscow carefully.

You don’t want the LLC to go bankrupt simply because of an unreliably chosen “storage facility” for the account, do you?

What criteria should you use to check the financial institution in which you are going to open an account:

  1. How long has the bank been operating and what kind of reputation does it have among clients?
  2. How much will you have to pay for the decision to open an account?
  3. How far is the main office located?

Fortunately, there is currently no shortage of banks in Moscow, so an entrepreneur can be very picky about where to open an account.

The step-by-step process of creating a new legal entity (LLC) is also given in the video:

Why might you be refused to register an LLC in Moscow?

The chance of being rejected when trying to open an LLC in Moscow worries entrepreneurs along with organizational issues.

If you refer to clause 1 of Article 23 of the Federal Law (https://www.nalog.ru/rn77/fl/interest/open_business/compaby_reg/3921906/), you can find a huge list of reasons for this.

Let's look at the main reasons why they may be refused to open an LLC in Moscow:

  • an incomplete package of documents was submitted for registration;
  • the papers were sent to the wrong address;
  • there is no certification from a notary (in cases where it is necessary);
  • all participants left the LLC;
  • the name chosen for the Company does not comply with legal requirements;
  • if any of the Founders, by court decision, does not have the right to engage in entrepreneurial activity and others.

This entire list can be summarized by one thesis: entrepreneurs rarely receive a refusal to open an LLC in Moscow.

If this happens, there is a 95% chance that an error has crept into the documents or they have not been collected completely.

So just prepare more carefully, then problems can be avoided.

Overall, figure it out how to open an LLC in Moscow not so difficult.

It is important to break the task into sequential steps and act in stages.

Then the fear of such an important task will pass, and you will do everything right.

If it seems to you that you are unable to figure it out on your own, contact specialist intermediaries who will take on this “burden” upon themselves.

Next, the founders of the organization need to draw up and sign an agreement, which should indicate the terms of cooperation, the rights and obligations of the participants, their responsibilities, etc. When an LLC is opened by one person, this stage is skipped.

One of the most crucial moments when establishing an LLC is the creation of the Charter of the enterprise. This official document regulates the procedure for all activities of the company, in addition, it is required for registration of a legal entity with the Federal Tax Service. What needs to be included in the Articles of Association?

Here is a list of information that must be included in this document:

For this purpose, most often, even before the visit to the Federal Tax Service, a current account was opened for a new legal entity in financial organization, and the participants paid their shares according to the agreement. However, in May 2014, this norm was abolished, and now each founder has the right to contribute his share at any time, but no later than four months from the date of state registration. registration.

In other words, this is legalization, legitimizing your business. If you run a business without going through the government. registration, then sooner or later it will come to the surface, and the state may apply a number of sanctions against you, as the founder.

In addition, without the official status of a legal entity, you will not be able to cooperate with serious and reliable partners. Today, every interested party, before concluding an agreement with a counterparty, can check it for the presence of a confirming record in the state. registry
