Every novice entrepreneur faces the question of what's best to open - IP or OOO. You start reading popular articles on the Internet, ask for all the details on forums and chat rooms, seek advice from different law firms. In the end, the more you immerse yourself in the topic, the more more questions arise. And when it comes to the point about possible fines...
From personal experience, I can give you the following advice: if you are not very experienced an entrepreneur and you can't justify why you need to open an LLC, you can't even open one. there's no point.
Let us assume that you are a novice entrepreneur who wants to open his first delivery and has no experience in this area. If you already have an IP or LLC, I suppose you can skip this chapter because you won't find anything new here for yourself.
- So, let's begin with the fact that in almost any source you will be recommended to open an IP. Firstly, it is cheaper, secondly, less difficult, thirdly,
Having gained experience and achieved any results in your business, you always you can close the IP and open the LLC (in reverse order it will be extremely is unreasonable and difficult).
Opening the power supply is quite simple. Of course, you can contact a law firm, by paying for her services, but it's better to do everything yourself to get that first experience of interaction with the tax authorities and learn how they work.
The cost of opening an IP for the period of writing this guide is 800 rubles. Essentially, this state duty and is the minimum cost of your registration as an individual entrepreneur. It will also be possible to buy a seal (from 500 to 1,000 rubles), but to be honest, in three years of IP, she has never i've come in handy. The state allows FDWs to work without them, so special i don't see the need to buy it.
In addition, it is possible to work without a corporate account in the bank, but it can become a problem when you decide to connect a payment system on the site or start to accept cards through the terminal. I opened an account in the largest bank Russia three years ago, and it cost me 2300 rubles. I would like to note that there is a few tariffs to keep an account. Consult the bank employee and choose the best option for yourself. I, for example, chose the basic the 300-ruble rate, and he's fine with me.
So, let's consider that in order to register an individual entrepreneur and open a bank account, you will will require 2500 rubles (added a couple of hundred for rounding).
Below is a list of documents for registering an IP. There are very few of them:
- - Application for registration according to form P21001 - 1 copy;
- - A receipt for payment of state duty - 1 copy;
- - Copy of the main identity document (Russian passport,if you are a citizen of the Russian Federation) - 1 copy..;
- - Notification of transfer to the simplified taxation system - 3 copies.
The list of all necessary documents can be found on the website of the Federal Tax Service. Nothing complicated or unclear, in most cases, examples are given of how to fill out forms.
Once you've collected all the documents, you go to the FTS office and give them to the inspector.
It usually takes three to five days to register an individual entrepreneur, depending on of the tax authority's workload. Further, within five working days after the tax authority is obliged to transfer the data on the new individual an entrepreneur to the Russian Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund. From they should receive official letters of notification and basic data.
This will happen within one to two weeks after the tax office sends information.
As soon as you receive all the documents, you can go to the bank of your choice and to register an account.
It should be noted that now some banks offer to register IPs and to open accounts on promo terms. In some banks you can open free of charge in others, to get free account maintenance for a while.
