What stages does the registration of a legal entity in the form of a joint-stock company include and what key documents must be prepared for the registration of a joint-stock company in Russia?
The process of registering a legal entity in the form of a joint-stock company (JSC) consists of a number of sequential steps and requires the preparation of a specific set of documents. Let's take a closer look at each stage.
Stages of registration of a joint-stock company
Stage 1: Choosing a name and legal form
It is necessary to determine the name of the future company, given the ban on the use of brand names similar to the names of existing companies.
Stage 2: Preparation of constituent documents
The main documents include:
- The Charter of the company;
- The decision of the sole shareholder or the minutes of the shareholders' meeting on the establishment of the company;
- Form P11001 (application for state registration of a legal entity);
- Payment document for payment of the state duty (800 rubles).
Stage 3: Appointment of the executive body
The powers of the General Director, the election of the Board of Directors (supervisory board), and the formation of the company's executive management bodies are determined.
Stage 4: Registration of the share issue
The decision on the issue of shares must be approved and the relevant information must be submitted to the Central Bank of Russia for subsequent registration of the issue prospectus.
Stage 5: Opening a bank account
A temporary account is opened for the formation of the authorized capital, the minimum amount of which is 10,000 rubles for a public joint-stock company and 100,000 rubles for a non-public joint-stock company.
Stage 6: Obtaining an INN and tax registration
The Federal Tax Service assigns a taxpayer identification number (INN) to the company and registers the company in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (USRLE).
Stage 7: Registration with the statistical authorities
The Federal Tax Service sends information about newly registered organizations to statistical authorities, which will assign statistical codes OKPO, OKATO and others.
A package of key documents for the registration of JSC:
1. The Founding agreement (for companies with several participants);
2. The minutes of the first meeting of participants or the decision of the sole participant;
3. A formalized application in accordance with the prescribed form P11001;
4. Receipt of payment of the state fee;
5. Draft Articles of Association of the Company approved by the General Meeting;
6. Extracts from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, if the members of the company are operating companies;
7. Identification documents of the applicant (passport, power of attorney of the representative).
These events take approximately 10 business days from the date of submission of documents to the Federal Tax Service.
Thus, successful registration of a joint-stock company requires careful preparation and careful approach to all stages of the process.
