Registration of a limited liability company is the creation of a new legal entity, which is associated with the collection and registration of the necessary documents and the deposit of the authorized capital to the settlement account.

You can register an LLC either personally or with the participation of a third party. In this case, the applicant will need a power of attorney.

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.
  • The principal must have an identity card (passport) with him.
  • The principal must be of legal age and capable.

At the same time, the citizenship or social status of the principal does not matter. The document can be drawn up both for a citizen of another country and for a Russian.  

It should be noted that a power of attorney for the registration of an individual entrepreneur or LLC is an official document, the registration of which must be taken seriously. Errors that occurred during the compilation may serve as a reason for refusal to conduct state registration. The legislation of the Russian Federation prescribes to include the following information in the power of attorney:

  • The name of the document, the place and date of its registration.
  • The list of powers of the authorized person, including the right to sign.
  • The validity period of the document.
  • Personal data about the principal and representative.
  • Personal signatures of the principal and representative.

It should be borne in mind that the details of the documents may vary depending on the form of the registered business. Any power of attorney must be notarized.
