Probably, at least once in their life, everyone had the idea to quit their job with an unbearable boss, gloomy colleagues and open a company in order to work for themselves and not depend on anyone. In fact, this process is not as difficult as it seems at first, but it requires a lot of both material and time costs, as well as considerable mental strength.
So what does it take to start a business?
1. First you need to decide who you will be: an individual (private) entrepreneur or a limited liability company (LLC). They differ in that in the event of a lack of assets to cover the costs, the founders of the LLC are liable only to the extent of the money invested in the company. This means that personal property cannot be taken away from them to cover debts. At this time, sole proprietors are liable for the firm's debts with all the wealth.
2. Drawing up a business plan, which will collect and organize all your steps.
3. Choice of company name and legal address.
4. Payment of state duty
5. Drawing up and submitting a set of documents required for registration. You must be handed an extract on the registration of you in the state register of entrepreneurs as a legal entity.
Required package of documents:
- application (form Р11001);
- state duty receipt;
- two copies of the company's articles of association;
- memorandum of association of the founders of the company;
- letter of guarantee from the owner of the premises you are going to rent;
- statement on the transition to a lightweight tax system.
If you are going to open a small business (flower shop, clothing repair, etc.), then you need to open an individual entrepreneur. If the enterprise is planned to be larger, or work and cooperation with legal entities is planned, then it is necessary to open a limited liability company (LLC).
Also, you will definitely need (and more than once) the help of a good lawyer, so you shouldn't save on this in order to avoid many problems.
We hope that this article will make it a little easier for you to start a new business and you will become one step closer to realizing your dreams.
