A legal entity is a specific organization that meets certain requirements prescribed by law (the presence of separate property, organizational unity, property liability, and so on). It is a full-fledged subject of law.
The procedure for creating a legal entity
We will talk directly about commercial organizations. The formation of a legal entity takes place in the order that is prescribed by law. There are many nuances. That is why many entrepreneurs do not conduct the procedure independently, but through intermediaries (in Moscow, for example, you can contact the Fineko law firm).
Formation of a legal entity is a process that can take a lot of time. At the initial stage, a general meeting of the founders should be held. His progress is logged. A document drawn up at the end of it is a decision to create a legal entity. In the future, it will be necessary to submit it to the tax service.
It is necessary to determine the legal form. Which option would be most preferable? For conducting small as well as medium-sized businesses, traditionally use a ZAO or LLC. How are they good? The fact that the authorized capital is small, and the personal property of the founders will not suffer in case of problems in business. To conduct large business use such a legal form as OJSC. Note that in this case the authorized capital should be over 100,000 rubles.
We form the authorized capital. By the time of registration, it must be entered at least half. It can be contributed even by property.
Registration is not possible without a company name. It must comply with the requirements of the law. There are a lot of them (the name should not be used by anyone else, and so on). In the future, the company will appear in civil circulation just under it.
Formation of a legal entity is impossible without a legal address. What it is? This is the address of the specific premises in which the company will be located. Documents confirming the ownership of the premises (lease agreement) will need to be submitted to the tax service . You can also submit a letter of guarantee to your registered address - this is a document guaranteeing that a contract with a specific landlord will be concluded immediately after registration. Important: registration is done at the tax office at the location, that is, at the legal address.
The formation of a legal entity involves obtaining OKVED, that is, special codes by which you can quickly determine the specialization of the organization.
USRLE - a register where all the information about the new company will be recorded. How to register a company? It is necessary to prepare and submit all the necessary documents to the tax service. Let's not forget that the payment of the fee is mandatory.
A legal entity will be considered registered from the moment when the corresponding record of it appears in the register.
