Prostopravo TV talks about the advantages and disadvantages of the main forms of doing business in Ukraine.

The print impression cannot be obligatory requisite any document submitted by a business entity to a public authority or body local government. A copy of a document that is submitted by a business entity to a state authority or local self-government body is considered certified in accordance with the established procedure if such a copy bears the signature of an authorized person of such business entity or the personal signature of an individual entrepreneur. A public authority or a local self-government body is not entitled to require notarization of the correctness of a copy of a document if such a requirement is not established by law.

The presence or absence of an imprint of the company's seal on the document does not create legal consequences.

The production, sale and / or purchase of seals is carried out without obtaining any permits.

Accordingly, amendments have been made to the legislative acts regulating the activities of business entities of various organizational and legal forms regarding the fact that the seal is no longer a mandatory attribute of a legal entity. In addition, if earlier the legislation established that the name and identification code of a business entity should be reflected on the seal, now the requirements for the content of the seal have been abolished.

Opening a bank account for a legal entity

To start full-fledged work, a legal entity needs to open a current account in any commercial bank. You can compare RKO rates.

In accordance with the requirements of the Instruction on the procedure for opening, using and closing accounts in national and foreign currencies (NBU Resolution No. 492 of November 12, 2003), the following documents must be submitted to the bank to open an account:

• application for opening a current account. The application is signed by the head of the legal entity or another authorized person;
• copies of the duly registered constituent document (charter / memorandum of association/ founding act / regulation). Legal entities whose constituent documents are posted on the portal of electronic services do not submit a constituent document in paper form. Legal entities of public law, which act on the basis of laws, do not submit a constituent document. A legal entity established and / or operating on the basis of a model charter approved by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine submits a copy of the decision on its creation or on the implementation of activities on the basis of a model charter signed by all founders;
• a card with samples of signatures and a seal, certified by a notary.

A person who opens a current account on behalf of a business entity must present a passport or other identification document. Representatives of legal entities must also provide documents confirming their authority. Resident individuals additionally present a document issued by the relevant body of the state tax service, certifying their registration in the State Register of Individuals - Taxpayers.

To open a current account for the formation of authorized or made up capital, a unit or indivisible fund of a business entity - a legal entity, you will need:

• an application for opening a current account signed by a person authorized to open an account by the founders of a legal entity;
• one copy of the original constituent document or its copy certified by a notary. In case of opening an account for the formation of authorized capital joint-stock company instead of the founding document, an agreement / decision on the creation of a joint-stock company or a copy certified by a notary is submitted;
• the decision of the founders (participants) to determine the person who is granted the right to open and dispose of an account, which is drawn up in the form of a notarized power of attorney (if at least one of the founders (participants) is individual). Instead of the original power of attorney, a copy certified by a notary may be submitted to the bank.

In the case of opening a current account for the formation of the authorized capital of a business company, the founder (participant) of which is one person, the following shall be submitted:

• application for opening a current account. Information that the account is being opened to form the authorized capital of a business company, the founder (participant) of which is one person, is indicated in the "Additional Information" line of the application for opening a current account;
• one copy of the original constituent document or its copy certified by a notary. In the case of opening an account for the formation (authorized capital) of a joint-stock company, instead of the constituent document, a decision on the establishment of a joint-stock company or a copy certified by a notary is submitted;
• a power of attorney or a copy of the power of attorney in the name of the person entitled to open and dispose of the account, certified by a notary. If the account is opened personally by the founder (participant), then this document is not required.

Funds of founders (participants) are credited to this account for the formation of the authorized or composed capital, unit or indivisible fund of a legal entity prior to its state registration. This account begins to function as a current account only after the bank receives the documents necessary to open a current account, and the bank receives a response message or a notification stub about the registration of the account by the state tax service at the location of the legal entity.

Recall that at the moment for most organizational and legal forms of enterprises, the minimum amount of the authorized capital is not established by law. This means that it can be anything.

So let's break the process down into 7 steps.

Stage one

We will decide on the organizational and legal form (OPF), conduct the necessary negotiations with future partners, and prepare constituent documents. With regards to the OPF, we note that it is important to think carefully about this issue, having previously studied what OPFs generally exist. Be sure to consult with experts who provide accounting services and who have experience in these matters. For example, such an accounting consultation in Forum Business Consult is one of the simplest. But we make sure to clarify all customer questions.

Stage two

We collect all the founders with whom you plan to create a company. Then we determine the size of the authorized capital. Then the constituent documents already prepared earlier should be approved. Within the framework of the meeting, it is imperative to single out and approve from all the founders the only one who will take the position of general director.

Stage three

On this stage it is still permissible to change your mind by returning back to work for hire.

So, at this stage it is necessary to pay the authorized capital. Registration of an LLC without this is impossible: LLCs are required to immediately pay at least half of the declared amount of the authorized capital. For example, the registration of a JSC, on the contrary, leaves the decision for the founders: to pay or not to pay the authorized capital.

Founders OOO deposit money into a savings bank account, money that, after the state registration of the company, will become part of the current account of this company.

Stage four

It's time to start preparing and sending an application to the tax office. An example of this document is available on the Internet or you can ask for it at the same tax office. This application is, in fact, a request to add your company to Unified State Register YUL and IP.

Your company will be entered into the register within five days.

Stage five

We order the seal of the organization. While it will be manufactured, the general director will not hurt to issue an order to take office. His first action will be the appointment of a chief accountant. And here we have no right to remain silent! Be sure to think about who will perform these duties: will you trust financial questions an expensive specialist or a low-paid newcomer? Each of them has its pros and cons. And, perhaps, to hang accounting issues on an outsourcing company.

Stage six

We put the newly minted company on record in the funds:
– Compulsory social and medical insurance fund,
- Pension Fund,
- Goskomstat.
Get ready to visit each of the above organizations.

Stage last

After registration, we conclude an agreement with the bank on opening a current account - we transfer money from the savings account to the current account. From it the financial operations of the company will be carried out.
And well, happy journey in the world of Russian business.

If you are on this portal for the first time, but you are interested in the issues of registering an LLC and an individual entrepreneur, then you can get answers to any questions on opening an LLC or an individual entrepreneur using service free consultation for business registration:

STEP 1. Choose a method of registering an LLC

To create an LLC, you need to go through the appropriate state registration procedure with the registering body of the Federal Tax Service at the place of the legal address of your LLC. To date, all Required documents to open a society with limited liability can be prepared via the Internet, and if there is an electronic digital signature and you can submit them to the tax office without leaving your home.

Limited liability company - created by one or more persons economical society whose authorized capital (minimum 10 thousand rubles) is divided into shares; the participants of the company are not liable for its obligations and bear the risk of losses associated with the activities of the company within the value of their shares in the authorized capital of the company.

At the same time, you need to be aware that the creditors of an LLC may, when recovering a debt, initiate bankruptcy proceedings for a legal entity, during which participants (founders) and managers of an LLC may be held liable, that is, additional liability. If the court proves that the LLC has been brought to a state of insolvency as a result of the actions or inaction of these persons, then they will be liable for the obligations of their company in full and at the expense of their personal property.

You can go through this procedure in two ways:

Having independently prepared all documents for company registration
If this is your first company, then we recommend that you register completely on your own, without resorting to the services of registrars. This will allow you to get very important knowledge and experience.

By preparing documents with the help of a registrar
In this option, registrars will not only help prepare documents, but also select an address, submit documents and receive them from the registration authority and register with the FIU and the FSS. Here, it is also possible to purchase a ready-made LLC with a history.

​ In order to make it easier for you to navigate between these options, we have compiled the following table for you with the pros and cons of each option:

Actions	Price	pros	Minuses
Self registration LLC	4 thousand rubles- state duty 1 - 1.3 thousand rubles. notary services (if applicants are personally present when submitting documents to the Federal Tax Service, then notarization of documents is not required)	Getting good experience in preparing documents, as well as in communicating with government agencies Savings on registrar services	The risk of being refused due to incorrect paperwork (as a result, the loss of 5 thousand rubles or more) If there is no legal address for registering an LLC, then you will have to look for it separately
Registration of an LLC with the help of registrars	The cost of registrar services is from 2 to 10 thousand rubles plus 4 thousand state duty and 1 - 1.3 thousand rubles. notary services (average 10 thousand rubles)	Denial of registration insurance It is possible to save time if the documents are taken and collected from the registration authority for you The registrar will help with obtaining an address for registering an LLC	You will have a superficial knowledge of your documents You leave your passport details to someone who is not clear Additional expenses
Buying a ready-made LLC	The cost of services is from 20 thousand rubles, the state duty is 800 rubles for making changes and 1 - 1.3 thousand rubles. notarial services	It is possible to buy an LLC immediately with a history required, for example, to participate in a tender where requirements are imposed on the life of the LLC	The risk of buying a troubled LLC (with debts or with a "dark" past). This fact may come to light in 1-3 years, when your purchased LLC will get on its feet.

If you decide to prepare documents for registration yourself, then your costs will be as follows:

Name	Sum
Payment of the authorized capital of LLC	from 10 thousand rubles(the minimum amount of the authorized capital in the amount of 10 thousand rubles from September 1, 2014 must be paid into monetary form, replacement for a property contribution of the minimum size of the authorized capital is not allowed)
Organization of a legal address (if it is not possible to rent a room or register yourself at the place of residence)	from 5000 to 20000 rubles(initial payment for assigning an address to you)
Payment for notary services for certification of signatures in an application for registration of an LLC	from 1000 to 1300 rubles(more than 80% of the amount you will spend on paying for some incomprehensible technical work notary)
Payment of state duty for registration of LLC	4 thousand rubles
Print production costs	from 500 to 1000 rubles
Opening a bank account	from 0 to 2,000 rubles
Total:	from 15 000 rubles

STEP 2. We come up with the name of LLC

The LLC must have its own full company name in Russian. At the same time, the full company name must include the full name of the LLC, as well as an indication of its organizational and legal form "limited liability company", for example, Limited Liability Company "Registration Bureau". In addition, the LLC may have:

• Abbreviated company name in Russian. In this case, the abbreviated company name must contain the full or abbreviated name LLC, as well as the abbreviation "LLC".
• Full and (or) abbreviated company name in the languages ​​of the peoples of the Russian Federation.
• Full and (or) abbreviated company name in foreign languages.
• The company name of an LLC may include foreign borrowings in Russian, with the exception of the designation of the legal form or its abbreviation.

As a result, in total, an LLC can have about 6 names (full and abbreviated in Russian, full and abbreviated in foreign language, full and abbreviated in the language of the people of the Russian Federation). The main corporate name of the LLC is only the full name in Russian. Example:

In some cases, the law establishes the need to contain in the company name of an LLC an indication of its activities (for example, when carrying out insurance activities, in relation to payment systems, pawnshops).

In addition, it is worth paying attention to the restrictions on the use of the words "Russia", " Russian Federation”, “Olympic”, “Paralympic”, “Moscow”, “Moscow”.

STEP 3. Choose a legal address

Before registering, you need to decide on. There are three ways to get a legal address:

1. rent / rent a room;
2. buy an address from a company that provides legal addresses for registering an LLC on them. Legal addresses in Moscow can also be purchased in our service:

1. (this is absolutely legal if the founder or future director of a limited liability company is registered at this address).

Whatever method you choose, you will need to attach to your registration documents confirmation that you have an address (the law does not require this, but this is an unspoken requirement for registration authorities). In the first two cases, you will need to attach from the address owner either management company, containing information that the specified address will be provided to you upon successful . Additionally, the letter must contain the necessary contact details of the owner or management company so that the employees of the registration authority can contact him/her and double-check this fact.

When registering an LLC at the home address of the head or one of the founders, in addition to a copy of the passport with a residence permit, you will need:

• a copy of the certificate of ownership of the apartment;
• with the registration of your LLC at this address.

If you still want to rent a room or buy an address, be sure to check the address for mass registration of legal entities. You can do this check in .

STEP 4. Decide on activity codes

If you decide to start your own business, then you know exactly what you and your LLC will do. All that now remains to be done is to pick up the appropriate activity codes from . This classifier is a hierarchical list grouped by directions.

An LLC registration application allows you to enter 57 activity codes per page, so you can enter both current activity codes and those planned sometime in the future. However, do not overdo it with the quantity, because. additional codes that you do not need may lead to an increase in contributions to the FSS, the calculation of which depends on the occupational risk class for each code.

In the application for registration indicate only those codes that contain 4 or more digits. You must choose one of the OKVED codes as the main one (for which you expect to receive the main income), and the rest will be additional. The presence of several codes does not oblige you to conduct activities on them.

Be careful about the selection of codes, as some of them correspond , some - to types of activities that cannot be engaged in preferential tax regimes. For those who are not sure about the choice of activities, we recommend using our free service for selecting OKVED codes.

STEP 5. Determine the size of the authorized capital of LLC

The minimum amount of the authorized capital of an LLC is 10,000 rubles. However, for a number of activities established by law. The term for the contribution of the authorized capital is 4 months from the date of registration of the LLC.

The authorized capital in the minimum amount from September 2014 can only be paid in cash (clause 2 of article 66.2 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).In addition to the already deposited amount of 10,000 rublei, the authorized capital can be contributed in the form of property. It is not necessary to contribute capital in non-monetary form, it is possible to contribute capital only in cash or at allbe limited to the minimum amount. The meaning of the new requirement of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation is that the authorized capital of an LLC is not limited to any property, but must also have a monetary value.

If there are several founders, then it is necessary to avoid such sizes of the authorized capital, due to which there are shares with an infinite fractional part. For example, it is impossible to register 3 founders with 1/3 shares each with an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, i.e. the share of each will be 3333, (3), and their total amount will not give 10,000 rubles. In this case, you need to choose the authorized capital of 12,000, etc., i.e. multiple of three.

STEP 6. We prepare decisions of the sole founder or minutes of the meeting

If you are the sole founder of an LLC, then you need to prepare a decision on the establishment of an LLC. The solution needs:

1. approve the name of the LLC (full, abbreviated, in other languages);
2. indicate the address of the location of the LLC;
3. determine the size of the authorized capital and methods of its contribution and payment;
4. approve the charter of the LLC;
5. appoint either himself or a third party to the position of the head of the LLC, indicating his position and term of office.

If there are two or more founders, then it is necessary to hold a general meeting of the founders of the LLC, to discuss the following list of issues:

1. establishment of an LLC and approval of its organizational and legal form;
2. approval of the name and location of the LLC;
3. approval of the size of the authorized capital, the size and nominal value of the shares of the founders of the Company, the procedure and term for payment of the shares of the founders of the LLC in the authorized capital;
4. approval of the charter of LLC;
5. appointment of the head of the LLC;
6. approval of the person responsible for state registration OOO.

Each issue must be voted on, and each issue must have a unanimous vote. Based on the results of the meeting, the meeting participants sign the minutes of the meeting, one copy for each participant, one copy for the LLC and one copy for the registering authority (you can sign one more for the bank, notary and just in case).

STEP 9. Fill out an application for registration of an LLC in the form P11001

The key document when registering an LLC is an application in the form P11001. It is because of errors in filling out this application that the registration authority gives the largest number of registration refusals.

The application is filled out either manually or on a computer using the appropriate software or service. It is impossible to fill out the application partly on a computer, partly manually.

Please note: from April 29, 2018, the applicant must indicate his email address in the application for registration. Documents confirming the fact of registration (the USRIP or Unified State Register of Legal Entities, charter with the IFTS mark, tax registration certificate) are sent by the inspectorate not in paper form, as before, but in electronic form. paper documents, in addition to electronic ones, will be available only at the request of the applicant.

We strongly do not recommend filling out the application manually, because. this can lead to a fairly large number of errors due to ignorance or non-compliance with all requirements for filling out the application. If you still decide on manual filling, then we strongly recommend that you familiarize yourself with

To complete the application using the appropriate software or service, we recommend:

The completed application must be signed by all founder applicants either in the presence of a notary public or directly by the registration authority when submitting documents. To sign the application with a notary, you will need to provide the notary with the following documents on the LLC: the decision and the charter or minutes of the meeting of the founders, the founding agreement and the charter, as well as identity documents of the applicants.

If there are several founders, then each founder must sign on his application sheet in the presence of a notary. After that, the application must be numbered and sewn together by a notary. Similarly, it is possible to sign the application by all applicants directly in the presence of an employee of the registration authority when submitting documents for registration of an LLC.

STEP 10. We pay the state duty for registering an LLC

Since 2019, applicants who submit documents for registering an LLC through the website of the Federal Tax Service or the public services portal are exempt from paying state duty (Article 333.35 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). However, this is possible only if there is an enhanced qualified electronic signature.

You can prepare a receipt for paying the state duty for registering an LLC as follows:

1. fill out the invoice manually. To do this, you will need to find out the details of your registration authority. You can find out the details on the website of the Federal Tax Service or directly at your registration authority;
2. or use the service of the Federal Tax Service for generating a receipt for paying the state duty for registering an LLC;

We draw your attention to the following:

1. the date of payment of the receipt must follow the date of signing the protocol/decision on the establishment of the LLC, but not earlier.

if there are several founders of an LLC, then in practice it most often happens that the founder authorized to carry out registration actions signs and pays the receipt. But, if you follow the letter of the law, then paragraph 2 of Art. 333.18 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation indicates that "in the event that several payers apply for a legally significant action at the same time, the state duty is paid by the payers in equal shares." That is, if, for example, there are two founders, then each of them must pay a receipt of 2,000 rubles on their own behalf, if there are four, then 1,000 rubles each, etc.

Additionally, the Federal Tax Service issued a letter dated 08.08.13 No. 03-05-06-03 / 32177, in which it explains that for the state registration of a legal entity created by three founders, a state fee must be paid by each founder in the amount of 1/3 of 4000 rubles. And although in practice refusals to register an LLC for such a reason are rare, nevertheless, any tax office may take this letter as a guide to action.

At the same time, the service for generating receipts for the payment of state duty on the website of the Federal Tax Service itself does not allow you to select a different amount, except for 4,000 rubles. In this case, we recommend that you generate a receipt with the full amount of the state duty, and then, if necessary, edit it, that is, change the amount payable. Or you can find out the details and fill out receipts manually.

What to do if you are denied registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC? From October 1, 2018, the applicant can again apply for registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC. You must contact the IFTS within three months after the decision to refuse, and this can be done only once.

STEP 11. Choose a taxation system

The taxation system is the procedure for paying taxes, that is, monetary deductions that a person receiving income gives to the state. If you want your business to be as efficient as possible financial plan, you should take this choice very responsibly, because such a mistake can be very costly for a novice entrepreneur and ruin even the most promising business idea at the start.

You can learn more about the features of tax regimes on your own in the article "". Or, leaving a request for a free one-hour consultation of specialists who will tell you which tax regime is right for you, based on the specifics of the chosen activity and region.

The most popular taxation system for novice businessmen is the simplified tax system.If you use our service to prepare a complete set of documents for registering an LLC, then at step 9 you can choose the USN 6% or 15%, and the service will prepare you a notification of the transition to the USN along with the rest of the documents.

2. documents confirming the ownership of the apartment (if the LLC is registered at the home address of the head or founder) - 1 copy;

4. a notarized power of attorney to submit documents (in case it is not the applicant who submits);
5. notarized translation of documents.

STEP 13. We sign and flash documents

Some of the documents listed above must be signed and bound if they contain more than one page. On reverse side firmware on a piece of paper with which a knot of thread or paper clip is sealed, it is necessary to indicate: "Total stitched and numbered<число>(number in words) sheets.<ФИО заявителя, ответственного за регистрацию ООО>: <здесь подпись>".

It is desirable that the signature of the person responsible for registration (applicant) slightly go beyond the edges of the firmware.

	Documentation	Who signs	Signature on the firmware
1	Application form Р11001	Each founder on his sheet in the presence official FTS or notary	Stitches only a notary. If the founders submit the application in person, there is no need to staple
2	Decision of the sole founder to establish an LLC*	Founder (aka Applicant)	Typically, the solution is placed on one sheet, so stitching is not required. If the size is more than 1 page, then the founder-applicant

* - if the founder of the LLC is another legal entity represented by its head (or other authorized person), then the signatory from the founding legal entity signs and seals (!).

STEP 14. We prepare a power of attorney to submit and receive documents

If the applicant does not have the opportunity to submit documents to the registration authority or receive them back, then it is necessary to prepare a power of attorney, as well as make some adjustments to the application for registration of an LLC:

To submit documents by a non-applicant, it is necessary to certify with a notary public for an authorized person to represent the interests of the applicant in the registration authority.

To obtain documents, a non-applicant must:

1. fill in the appropriate box in advance in the application for registration of an LLC on the page of the first applicant (sheet H, page 3) before the signature of the applicant with the value 2 (“issue to the applicant or a person acting on the basis of a power of attorney”) instead of 1 (“issue to the applicant”);
2. write to a trusted person notarized power of attorney to represent the interests of the applicant in the registration authority (if the application contains 2, then documents can only be obtained by a notarized power of attorney).

STEP 15. We check and submit documents for registration

Sign the application at the notary, pay the state duty for registration, collect full set documents and send them to the registration authority in your city. If applicants submit documents for registration to the tax authority in person, then notarization is not required. Additionally, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with.

Compliance with all the rules listed above will help you avoid annoying mistakes when registering an LLC, but often regional tax authorities may impose specific requirements that are not explicitly specified in the legislation, therefore, it is now available specifically for our users free document verification service for business registration 1C specialists:

After submitting the documents to the registration authority, do not forget to get a receipt from its employee with a list of all the documents you submitted.

STEP 16. We receive the long-awaited documents

The term for registering an LLC in 2019 is no more than 3 working days. In case of successful registration, the IFTS sends the following documents to the applicant's e-mail in electronic form:

• single record sheet state register legal entities in the form No. Р50007;
• certificate of registration with the tax authority;
• charter with a mark of the registering authority.

Attention! Upon receipt of the documents, it is necessary to carefully check the data indicated in the extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. If errors are found, you must contact the employee who issued the documents to you to draw up a protocol of disagreements. If errors were made due to the fault of the registration authority, they will be promptly and, most importantly, corrected free of charge. Later detection of errors may lead to their correction through a paid procedure for amending information about the LLC.

STEP 17. After registration

If the registration was successful, and we have no doubt about it, then congratulations! All that is left for you to do now is:

• if the type of activity you plan belongs to;
• create and register if necessary.

Starting your business, you can organize your office or be a co-founder in it. So, I worked as a sales director of a branch network (a hired director).

Choosing the second option, you can pull the whole company on yourself. But, while you are a hired director, without a documented option - a share in the business, at any time you can be denied access to CRM, change the locks and say: "boy, go rub."

It worked for me as a replacement on a Mac, but you get the idea.

Thinking about this possibility prompted me to register an organization (legal entity) and for more than a year formed (debugged) the processes for organizing the work of the company.

My first year expenses were as follows:

1. The state duty for registering an LLC is 4,000 rubles.

2. Opening a company through an office - 11,000 rubles if a legal entity is registered. We opened through the office on Kurskaya, this is a good option. They can also propose a Charter, now the rules have changed in terms of LLC

3. Provision of a legal address - 10,000 rubles.

4. Office - room 2 by 2 meters. We have, for example, 6200 rubles a month.

5. Mail - how is it for anyone. They bring it to us for free directly to the building - it's very convenient.

6. Contribution to the charter - 10,000 rubles.

Total: 41200 rublesonopening.

Currentexpensesoncompany:

1. You will need to hire an employee (aka CEO and he is an accountant. It will cost you 15,000 rubles a month.

2. You pay for office rent. It costs us 6200 rubles a month.

3. You will need an accountant who will work remotely. He will also solve personnel issues, deal with salaries, and advise on legal issues. It will cost 13,000 rubles per month. Our company uses the possibilities of remote accounting, cooperating with "Prime Audit"(Tver city), our Bitrix24 clients. We organized interaction with them by inviting their employee to our corporate portal as a full-time employee. Cooperation is carried out according to the approved regulations for servicing a current account, bookkeeping for both companies, personnel management and reporting.

4. You will have to open an account with Sberbank - 1250 rubles per month.

Total: 35450 rublesonmonthlyexpenses.

Thus, the cost of opening your own company is 41,200 rubles. In addition, you will have to take into account the monthly costs of maintaining the company about 35,450 rubles.

Everyone chooses his own way in business. But the costs, in my opinion, are nothing compared to such a risk of working in a large foreign company as the risk of hearing one day the following: "Boy, go to ter".

So the question is about opening your business is a safety issue. You plan profit, calculate risks, costs. The main thing is to make a decision about your status in business as early as possible, so as not to invest in a deliberately losing option. If you open a company without counting on serious profit, you can at first make one or two transactions per month in order to earn 35,000 rubles for the maintenance of the company. This is already not bad: the company is working, and you are mastering the procedure for working with documents.

prosdiscoveriesownbusiness:

1. A person who has his own business can easily make himself any certificate for a trip abroad and draw any salary for himself. Passport is also, by the way, much easier to do.

2. You can provide services for conducting and supporting transactions for other companies and individuals and take an average of 3% of the transaction for these services.

3. Make yourself and your company employees a corporate cellular communication. Transfer numbers from an individual to a legal entity. In our company, all numbers are translated to Personal Area legal entity Megafon. Payment is 3000 rubles for 5 rooms per month. In addition, the company pays for the calls of each employee (1000 rubles per month), so they all have unlimited opportunities to communicate with customers. Communication services include Internet packages. Of course, the entire range of communication services is bought by the company and charged to its costs.

4. If you are planning to buy a car, then, having your own business with an annual turnover of 10 million rubles a year, you can easily lease a car in 3-4 years. That's how we took the car for trips to the suburbs and other needs. The payment for such a purchase is charged to the company's expenses. This, among other things, allows you to reduce the payment of VAT by the amount of VAT paid by the lessor. Car maintenance is charged by non-cash payment and charged to expenses. In the same way, we write off the cost of buying gasoline. We buy gasoline by bank transfer through Magistral Avto.

5. It is also convenient to make regular purchases in Komus through your personal account. It is clear that purchases from Komus are needed not only for the office (from paper to the microwave), but they will also come in handy at home (for my daughter to draw, for example). The main thing is that any purchases can be attributed to the company's costs to the maximum. Gradually you get used to this way of saving, and any work or home purchase is checked in terms of the criterion: is it possible to save by writing off costs.

6. An example of such mini-openings in the field of shopping: we purchase water and a cooler / pump for each employee at home by bank transfer and write off all this as expenses.

7. A recent example from my experience is business trips: I bought tickets to St. Petersburg by bank transfer, visited the exhibition and wrote off the travel expenses as expenses.

8. The moment arising from all of the above. You have the amount of expenses that you make as an individual. A certain part of them can be safely presented as "costs" of a legal entity. For example, children's holiday can be " corporate event for staff".

In this article, only a few points from the system of our work. My idea is that the path to freedom begins with simple and thoughtful decisions. I would appreciate feedback on the article.
