Fundamentals of state business registration

Any person, one way or another, familiar with entrepreneurship, knows that the main initial stage on the way to starting a business will be the procedure of state registration. Such actions are mandatory without exception for both sole proprietors and LLC. Organizational issues often fall on the shoulders of the entrepreneurs themselves, or the founders. However, if the company is to open in another city, there is an option to apply for the procedure through a proxy.

The legislation of Russia allows you to submit a package of business papers for the state registration of an LLC through a representative by proxy. It can be an individual or a legal entity. Any capable citizen who has reached the age of 18 can become a proxy. Also, such a document can be drawn up for several persons, if the registration will take place on behalf of several guarantors.

Legislative aspects of power of attorney registration

For the most part, the legislative nuances related to business registration are quite loyal to entrepreneurs. There are a number of points that should be taken into account:

• The power of attorney must contain a clear list of the person’s powers.

Errors that occurred during the compilation may serve as a reason for refusal to conduct state registration.
