How to find the founders of an LLC ? This question is asked for various reasons. Someone draws up a lawsuit, someone would like to do Commercial offer, while others want to check whether they were recorded among the founders of the company without their knowledge. The article will tell you how such information can be obtained using official resources.

Where can I see information about the founders of a legal entity for free

Check LLC founders the easiest way is to use the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation (https://egrul.nalog.ru - a resource posted on the official page of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation and intended for ordering an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities). Information about the head of the legal entity and its founders, namely their last names, first names and patronymics (or name, if the founders are legal entities), TIN, share in the authorized capital ( percentage and the nominal value in rubles), as well as the state registration number and the date of entering this information into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities - this is public information (subparagraphs "e", "l" clause 1 article 5, clause 1 article 6 of the law "On state registration legal entities and individual entrepreneurs" dated 08.08.2001 No. 129-FZ).

The passport data of these persons can only be presented as part of the information of an extended extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which can be formed only at the request of government agencies or courts (paragraph 2, clause 1, article 6 of the said law), as well as the legal entity itself requesting information in relation to yourself (see the article Extract from the Unified state register legal entities).

You can also check the founders of an LLC using the following resources:

• “Search for information in the register of disqualified persons” is a resource on the website of the Federal Tax Service, with the help of which you can find out if there are effective disqualification orders in relation to one or another LLC participant.
• "Information about individuals who are heads or founders (participants) of several legal entities "- a resource of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation, which allows you to determine whether a participant or head of an LLC is a so-called. mass directors.
• "Data Bank of Enforcement Proceedings" on the official website of the FSSP. Here you can check both citizens and legal entities for the presence of open enforcement proceedings against them, as well as the subject of execution and the amount of outstanding debt.

Information about the TIN of the founders of the LLC

Information about the TIN of the founders refers to open information and, as mentioned above, you can find out such data by ordering a regular extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.

You can also use the “Find TIN” resource, however, in the search form, you need to fill in not only the full name of the citizen of interest, but also indicate his date of birth and details of the identity document, which, of course, is a more complicated way to search for the TIN of the founder of the LLC (compared to above).

So, get to know the founders LLC is possible by ordering a regular extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. In the relevant section of the document, the full name of the founder, his TIN, share in the authorized capital and the number of the state registration number and the date of entering the specified information into the Unified State Register of Legal Entities will be indicated. You can check other information using the services of the Federal Tax Service and the FSSP.

First of all, you need to make sure that the company is registered in the prescribed manner and operates. This can be done in many ways.

Check TIN

Make sure that the supplier's TIN is not a random set of numbers, but a real digital code that belongs to the company offering the deal.

It is very easy to check this, since the TIN has its own algorithm, and a fake number, most likely, will not match it. You can recognize an error in the TIN in any program for preparing information about the income of individuals by entering the number in the "TIN of the employer" field. If the number does not satisfy the algorithm, an error message will appear.

At the same time, you can establish the authenticity of the TIN and its belonging to a particular company on the website of the Federal Tax Service or using the counterparty verification service.

Request a copy of the state registration certificate (or an entry sheet in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities)

The state registration certificate confirms that the counterparty exists as a legal entity and is registered as a taxpayer. From January 1, 2017, when registering legal entities and individual entrepreneurs instead of a certificate of state registration, a record sheet of the desired register is issued - ERGUL or EGRIP. Thus, the entry sheet is a document confirming the fact of making an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or EGRIP.

In accordance with clause 13 of the Rules of Conduct Unified State Register of Legal Entities state register entries are included in the registration file of a legal entity. In accordance with clause 19 of the Rules for Maintaining the USRIP, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of an individual entrepreneur.

Get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP

A fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities confirms that the counterparty is registered and has not been deregistered at the time of its receipt. In addition, according to the extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, you can check the details specified by counterparties in contracts and other documents.

An extract can be requested directly from a potential partner or using the FTS service.

The balance sheet allows you to draw several important conclusions about the company at once:

• First, he confirms that the company is reporting.
• Secondly, it allows you to establish whether the organization conducted economic activities.
• Thirdly, from accounting you can learn about the "portfolio" of funds that the company has. If a company has practically zero asset value, significant debt obligations and an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, this is a reason to think about whether it is worth giving such a company, for example, a commodity loan. Turnovers that are too low compared to the amount of the proposed transaction may also indicate that the supplier hides part of the income. In this case, it is better to refuse the transaction.

Based on financial statements, it is easy to compile the financial analysis, which will show the dynamics of the company's activities and allow you to evaluate it financial stability. In the service on the company card you can find links to financial statements and mini-financial analysis, which will allow you to immediately see the key points in the accounting forms without having to study a large and complex financial statement for the company.

Information about legal entities who have tax arrears and / or have not submitted tax returns for more than a year can also be obtained on the website of the Federal Tax Service.

Additional analytics

It is necessary to verify the integrity of the counterparty and collect evidence that you have carried out the necessary verification. Why is it important? In the event of a lawsuit, this will confirm that your company has shown .

From the point of view of the tax authorities (), the company has not shown due diligence if it does not have:

• personal contacts of the management in the counterparty company when discussing the terms of supply and when signing contracts;
• documentary confirmation of the authority of the head of the counterparty company, copies of a document proving his identity;
• information about the actual location of the counterparty, as well as the location of warehouse, production, retail space;
• information about the method of obtaining information about the counterparty (advertising, recommendations of partners, official website, etc.);
• information about state registration counterparty in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
• information about the availability of the counterparty required license(if the transaction is concluded within the framework of a licensed activity), a certificate of admission to a certain type of work issued by self-regulatory organization;
• information about other market participants of similar goods, works, services, including those who offer lower prices.

Company information

Bulk registration address

A mass address is one of the signs of one-day firms. At the end of 2017, the Ministry of Finance issued a warning that if there is confirmed information about the inaccuracy of the information provided about the address of the legal entity, the registration authority has the right to refuse registration. According to the document, the facts of including information about the mass registration address are the basis for verifying the reliability of data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Thus, by registering companies at a mass address, a legal entity or individual entrepreneur risks being denied registration.

But the tightening of control over mass addresses applies not only to new businesses, but also to already registered companies: the tax office sends letters to companies that need to provide reliable information about their address to the registration authority. It will not be possible to ignore the notification of the tax authorities: if the address is not confirmed, the submitted documents do not correspond to reliability, then an entry is made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities about incorrect information about the address, which may lead to the organization being excluded from the register, according to. It is all the more dangerous to conclude contracts with counterparties registered at mass addresses.

How to check the "mass character" of the address? Firstly, a service is available on the website of the Federal Tax Service that checks the address entered by the user with a list of mass addresses. Secondly, it shows which companies are registered at the same address as the counterparty of interest to the user, service. In a number of cases, such a “neighborhood”, even if we are not talking about mass registration, may turn out to be significant.

The actual location of the counterparty

In itself, the discrepancy between the actual and legal address does not characterize the counterparty in any way. According to the Federal Tax Service, almost 80% Russian companies are not located at the legal address specified during registration. But the tax office recommends checking the actual location of the counterparty along with other data.

Such information can be obtained by visiting the legal or actual address of the prospective partner. This will allow not only to clarify whether the office of the counterparty is actually located there, but also to look at the premises, production or retail space, talk to employees and neighbors in the office building. Such a visit can be especially productive if it is done incognito, under the guise of a buyer or potential partner.

In Contour.Focus, you can view the panorama of buildings and surroundings for the specified legal entity in one click. This option is called .

The feasibility of the terms of the contract for the counterparty

It is necessary to have clear evidence that the counterparty has a real ability to fulfill the terms of the contract. First of all, the time spent on the delivery or production of goods, the performance of work or the provision of services is taken into account.

Violations of tax laws

The taxpayer has the right to request from the tax authorities information on the payment of taxes by counterparties. At the same time, it does not matter whether the inspection will respond to the company's request. The Code does not establish the obligation of tax authorities to provide taxpayers, at their request, with information about the fulfillment by counterparties of the obligations provided for by the legislation on taxes and fees, or about their violations of the law ().

As arbitration practice shows, the very fact of applying to the tax office with a request to assist in checking the integrity of counterparties testifies to the company's due diligence.

In order for the fact of contacting the inspection to be recorded, the request should be sent by registered mail with a return receipt (you have one copy of the inventory and a returned notice) or submit a request in person to the office tax office(in this case, a copy of the request with a mark of acceptance remains on hand).

Arbitration cases

"Black list" on the website of the Federal Tax Service

This is a register of disqualified persons. Disqualification is an administrative punishment, which consists in depriving an individual of certain rights, in particular, the right to occupy leadership positions in the executive body of a legal entity, to be a member of the board of directors (supervisory board), to carry out entrepreneurial activity for the management of a legal entity.

The grounds for disqualification may be intentional or fictitious bankruptcy, concealment of property or property obligations, falsification of accounting and other accounting documents, etc.

To avoid cooperation with companies whose head was disqualified, it is enough to check a potential partner through a special service on the website of the Federal Tax Service. The search is carried out by the name of the legal entity and PSRN.

By the end of 2018, the Federal Tax Service launched the Transparent Business service in test mode, which can be used to collect comprehensive information about a taxpayer - an organization and exercise due diligence.

If you enter data about the TIN, PSRN or company name in the search, the following information will appear:

• the date of state registration and the main state registration number of the legal entity, the method of formation of the legal entity and the name of the registering authority;
• information about the registration of the organization in the tax authority;
• state of the legal entity;
• address of the legal entity and information about the address of mass registration;
• OKVED;
• the size of the authorized capital;
• inaccurate data about the head of the company, the management of the activities of many other legal entities;
• category of the subject of small and medium business.

You should pay attention to the triangle sign, which may appear in the section as a warning. This means that the information requires special attention.

Powers of the person signing the documents

The Ministry of Finance recommends that when checking counterparties, obtain documentary evidence of the authority of the head (his representative). If the documents are signed by a representative of the company, a power of attorney or other document authorizing this or that person to sign documents on behalf of the company must be obtained from the counterparty.

The Ministry of Finance also recommends that taxpayers request identification documents from the head of the counterparty company. This will confirm that the documents are signed by the person who has the authority to do so. In addition, there may be cases when the counterparty is registered on a lost or stolen passport. You can find this out on the FMS website.

Transaction Information

Confirmation of personal contacts when concluding a transaction

The lack of personal contacts during the conclusion of the transaction may indicate that the taxpayer did not exercise due diligence. The collected data on the circumstances of the conclusion of the contract with the counterparty (who participated in the negotiations, who released the goods, etc.) will help to prove the opposite.

Verification of transaction documents

This procedure avoids not only the claims of the tax authorities, but also possible litigation.

• check the address indicated in the documents of the counterparty, in particular, in invoices;
• make sure that the supplier's documents do not contain logical contradictions and comply with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and other laws;
• compare the signatures of employees on documents in order to exclude the situation when different signatures are put on behalf of one person (it is better to exclude such documents so that the Federal Tax Service does not claim that they are fictitious).

This list of "filters" is not exhaustive. There are other ways to be careful in choosing a counterparty and get the most complete information about it.

* The data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities / EGRIP are open and are provided on the basis of clause 1 of article 6 federal law dated 08.08.2001 No. 129-FZ “On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs”: Information and documents contained in state registers are open and publicly available, with the exception of information to which access is limited, namely information about documents proving the identity of an individual .

Any analytical department, carrying out a preliminary check of the counterparty, considers the identification of the founder of this organization as one of the primary tasks.

Indeed, today it is increasingly possible to encounter deliberately presented false information, even in official sources. However, if it is possible to recognize the founder by TIN, then sometimes the received surname can say much more about the company than official reports.

Find out the founder by OGRN

The task of searching for a legal entity by name or other criteria that are not unique or unambiguous is not so rare. For example, you were given a business card with the name and contacts of the company.

Of course, the TIN and OGRN of the company are not indicated on the business card, even if it is the business card of the chief accountant. Meanwhile, to order an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, one of the unique identifiers of the enterprise is required: TIN or OGRN. Most services for the provision of electronic extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities require these details to be specified, since the extract from the database is unloaded with the exact indication of the OGRN of the company.

If you want to find a company and order immediately on it electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, fill out the request form in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and follow the site's further instructions for paying for the request.

If your task is simply set the basic details of the enterprise, use the free service Unified State Register of Legal Entities.nalog.Ru, the description of which is given on the next page.

Now some tips for finding firms in the database of the Unified Register of Legal Entities.

Consulting Bureau "Talisman" for the convenience of handling such situations implemented a preliminary search in the database data of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities by the name and legal address of the enterprise. How it works? The search form, in addition to the fields for PSRN and TIN codes, contains fields for specifying the name and address of the legal entity. If you indicated the name of the company in the request (the address is not required), then in a few minutes in your personal account in recording given request a list of enterprises found according to the specified criteria will appear, indicating the TIN, PSRN, full name and legal address. By checking the boxes next to the companies you need, you can make a final order for an electronic extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or an urgent business certificate.

Features of searching for a company by name

1. Issuance of the list of found companies is limited to 100 records. This was done, on the one hand, in order not to unnecessarily burden the system of access to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, and on the other hand, purely practically, manually parse a table with several hundred entries in the search the right organization uncomfortable - you need to refine the request to get the issuance of an acceptable size.

2. The size of the list of companies found by name depends on the uniqueness of the name. For example, the presence of doubles in name for firms such as CJSC "Center for Lunar Research on Rublyovka" is as unlikely as tomorrow's scheduled flight to the moon. But for such names as "Spectrum", "Alliance", "Leader", "Assistance", "Perspective", there are more than one thousand organizations in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities1. Since the issue is limited to the first hundred records (sorted by OGRN), the company you are looking for may simply not be in this list.

3. Therefore, if there are at least two words in the name of the company (for example, "Steel Trade"), then it is possible, while waiting for an acceptable sample size, to not indicate the address and region of the organization's "registration".

OFF: How can I find out where I am the director?

If the name of the company offhand is assessed as very popular, then it is better to immediately indicate the region of the enterprise. You can also specify the street from the address of the company, but here it is possible to get into a situation where the legal and actual address of the company do not match, so it makes sense to specify the address if the sample by name + region of the company turned out to be too large.

4. It is also not necessary to meticulously fill in all the fields of the search form, after all, this is not an application form for admission to the Central Committee of the CPSU. The indication of a house or street in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities may differ from their writing on a business card or advertising material of the company, and the search result will be null. For example, if you are looking for a company registered at 15, Cosmonauts Avenue, in the "street" column of the search form, simply indicate "Cosmonauts", without any prospectuses. Well, of course, if you know the TIN or PSRN, there is no need to fill in all the other details.

Recall that you can also find the TIN and OGRN of a company by name through free service Federal Tax Service for partial access to according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities: http://egrul.nalog.ru/

Unfortunately, the very structure of the database of the Federal Tax Service of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities does not allow for simultaneous (cross-tab) search in several tables. For example, the database of the MRP (Moscow Registration Chamber), actively used by the security services until 2002, made it possible to search simultaneously by the name of the company and the name of the director, which greatly simplified the search for an enterprise using business card details. By the way, even now, when using the Unified State Register of Legal Entities online, you should not neglect the verification of an individual according to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. An extract on an individual will allow not only to find all the companies where a given person is a founder and director, but also subjectively, based on the length of the list received, to evaluate whether this is a real responsible person, or a dummy "nominal value".

By the way, it's not a bad idea to introduce into the criteria for evaluating a legal entity for one-dayness such an indicator as "mass character of the name." In the previous publication, we did a practical study of such a phenomenon as legal addresses of mass registration and how the formal location of a company at such an address correlates with its "garbage" according to other, more weighty criteria. It turned out that not everything is so scary :). Next in line is a publication on mass directors, and then we will deal with the names.

How to find out or check the founders of an LLC?

Fighting fly-by-night firms, fraudsters and unscrupulous entities, the federal tax service has established criteria for tracking them. Such criteria include the mass character of the address of registration, the head of the company. In fact, this is just a quantitative indicator recorded in official documents. When creating a company, it is necessary to indicate its legal address, the full name of the head. If, according to official data, one person is listed as the head of a large number of companies, this raises suspicions. It is in such cases that we can say that the CEO is massive. According to latest changes adopted by the tax, definition this indicator depends on the date of registration of the company. If it was formed before the first day of August 2016, then persons appearing in more than fifty companies fall under close scrutiny. After the specified date, the criteria are tightened: the number of companies in which a person can appear and not be considered massive at the same time has decreased to five.

Check CEO on mass should be in all cases of the emergence of new contractors. If many firms are listed behind one person, this is a cause for concern. Starting cooperation with such partners is risky. A dubious firm may turn out to be a one-day business, and its head may be nominal. And this entails a number of adverse consequences. First, it may have a negative impact on the performance and financial condition the firm itself. Secondly, the tax authorities may have questions about this. She may doubt the validity of the calculations made, deductions, which threatens with additional tax payments. It will not be superfluous to receive such information and for again new companies. If the chosen address or general director is registered with a large number of other firms, then the federal tax service may refuse to register.

How to check the director for mass character?

For normal operation commercial firm certain conditions must be met. One of them is cooperation with reliable proven partners.

When is it necessary to check the director?

The CEO should be checked for mass character in all cases when new counterparties appear. If many firms are listed behind one person, this is a cause for concern.

Ways to check the director for mass character

It is extremely important to know how many organizations are managed by the director of the company with which the transaction is planned. But here the question immediately arises: where can one get such information? First of all, you can request the necessary information from the counterparty himself. However, you should not completely rely on his conscientiousness. You can also request an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities for a counterparty, but it is much more convenient to receive such information online. Today there are special services that provide such data. For example, the FTS website service allows you to check the mass director online.
