15.01.2022

In this article, I will help you familiarize yourself with the detailed and step-by-step instructions for registering a private unitary enterprise. You will carry out such a procedure yourself if you carefully study the entire algorithm of actions, which will be presented below. All information will be presented in the most accessible language for you.

Have you decided to choose such a form of legal entity as PUE for doing business? This means that your choice is justified by those goals and objectives that are feasible through activities precisely through the organizational and legal form of this type.

Before starting questions PUE registration Let's remember what PUE is as an organizational and legal form of doing business in the Republic of Belarus.

A unitary enterprise is a commercial organization that is not endowed with the right of ownership of the property assigned to it by the owner. The property of a unitary enterprise is indivisible and cannot be distributed among contributions (shares, shares), including between employees of the enterprise (Article 113 of the Republic of Belarus).

PUEs can only be participants and investors in limited partnerships with the permission of the owner of the property. Unitary enterprises are not entitled to contribute as a contribution to the statutory fund of economic companies or partnerships, real estate belonging to it on the right of economic management without the consent of the owner.

Also, a private unitary enterprise is not entitled to sell real estate belonging to it under the right of economic management, lease it, pledge it, make a contribution to the charter capital of business companies and partnerships, or otherwise dispose of it without the consent of the owner. The rest of the property belonging to the enterprise, it manages independently.

The owner of the property under economic management decides the issues of creating a unitary enterprise, determining the subject and goals of its activities, its reorganization and liquidation, appoints the head of the enterprise, exercises control over the use for the intended purpose and safety of the property belonging to the enterprise.

The owner has the right to receive a part of the profit from the use of property under the economic management of the enterprise he created.

The owner of the property is not liable for the obligations of the PUE, except in cases of bankruptcy of the enterprise due to his fault.

The founding documents of the PUE are the charter, approved by the owner of the enterprise.

The similarity with an individual entrepreneur lies in the fact that the founder, like a person with the status of an individual entrepreneur, is the sole owner of not only the enterprise, but also the property assigned to it (cash).

The management body of the PUE is a head appointed by the owner or an authorized person.

A private unitary enterprise in Belarus has the right to be reorganized into a business company or partnership, as well as into a production cooperative in the manner prescribed by law and by agreement of the parties.

The maximum number of PUE participants is one individual or legal entity.

And now consider the procedure for registering a PUE.

Step 1. We prepare a package of necessary documents

After you have the idea to register a PUE, you must collect and prepare the following documents:

1. The decision to create a PUE (it is necessary in order to create a temporary bank account).

2. Certificate of approval of the name of the legal entity (you will need it to create a charter). For such a certificate, you need to apply to the city (regional) executive committee with an application. As a rule, the name is agreed on the day of the application.

3. Letter of guarantee on the provision of a legal address. Any PUE must have a legal address. If you do not own such premises in which you will carry out the activities of your enterprise, then you need to think about renting a premises with the provision of a legal address. After a suitable landlord is found, you will take a letter of guarantee from him stating that he undertakes to provide premises after the registration of the enterprise. This document is required to create a charter and guarantee the lease after incorporation.

In order not to return to this issue again, in this paragraph we will consider a frequently asked question: can the legal address of a PUE be the home address of residence. According to paragraph 5 of the Regulations on state registration and liquidation (termination of activities) of business entities, approved. By Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 11 dated March 16, 1999, the location of a private unitary enterprise may be a residential premises (apartment, residential building) of an individual - the owner of the property of a private unitary enterprise (hereinafter referred to as residential premises) in one of the following cases:

- the dwelling belongs to him by the right of ownership (is in shared or joint ownership) - with the consent of another owner (all owners), as well as all adult members of his family (and family members of all owners) living in this premises;

- he permanently resides in a residential building (with the exception of residential premises of the state housing stock), as evidenced by the corresponding stamp (registration stamp at the place of residence) in the passport or information in the registration card (house book), - with the consent of the owner (all owners) residential premises of a private housing stock, as well as all adult family members of the owner (all owners) living in this premises.

At the same time, the owner of the residential premises is charged for utilities and other payments related to the operation of such premises.

The implementation of production activities (performance of works, provision of services) in a residential building that is the location of a private unitary enterprise is not allowed without transferring this premises to non-residential premises in the manner prescribed by law.

4. Charter in 2 copies and 1 electronic copy. After the name of the future company is agreed upon, and the legal address is determined, you can begin to create a charter (information is entered into the charter). This is the most important document because on the basis of which the organization operates. The charter is highly recommended to be ordered from lawyers, since it is almost impossible to prepare the correct charter of the company on your own without special skills.

5. Receipt of payment of the state fee. In accordance with the tax legislation, the state duty for registering a PUE is 5 basic units. You can pay when contacting the registration authority.

6. Application of the established form for registration. It is also filled in when applying.

7. Order on the timing of payment of wages. This document is required to open a current account. However, not all banks need such an order. If you have decided in which bank a current account will be opened, it makes sense to clarify whether they need this order.

This is the entire list of documents that must be prepared before applying for registration.

Step 2. We form the Authorized Fund and open a temporary account

The minimum size of the authorized fund of a unitary enterprise is not determined by legislation and may be established by decision of its founder.

Before the state registration of a unitary enterprise the authorized capital must be formed in full. The contribution of the founder to the statutory fund may be things, including money and securities, other property, including property rights, or other alienable rights that have an assessment of their value. To form the authorized capital of a private unitary enterprise, a temporary account is opened until the moment of its registration.

Choosing a suitable bank is quite an important step in registering a PUE. Different banks offer completely different terms of service for legal entities. Therefore, it makes sense to carefully study the offers from banks and choose the most suitable for your activity. Even before applying to the registration authority, it is necessary to form the Authorized Fund: determine the size of the authorized fund, open a temporary bank account and deposit funds. When contacting the bank, you will be provided with all the necessary information and documents for this operation.

Step 3. We pay the state fee for the registration of PUE

Step 4. We apply to the registration authority and submit a package of necessary documents

After collecting the documents, we turn to the registration authority. We provide the following documents: Charter in 2 copies + 1 electronic copy, application, receipt of payment of the state fee. On the same day, you can receive the Charter with a seal, which confirms the fact of registration. Within five working days, the company will be registered with other authorities (FSZN, Belgosstrakh, Inspectorate), and you will be able to pick up all the documents necessary for further work.

Documents are submitted to the executive committee at the location of the PUE (legal address).

To register a PUE, the personal presence of the founder with a passport of a citizen of the Republic of Belarus is required.

Registration of a PUE is carried out on the day of applying to the executive committee - you will be given one copy of the charter of the enterprise with a stamp on registration in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs. The USR number on the stamp corresponds to the company's UNP number. From this moment, a legal entity in the form of a PUE is considered to be created and you can proceed to the next steps.

Step 5. Ordering a print

After applying to the registration authority, it is necessary to make a seal of the enterprise. To do this, you need to contact the organization that carries out such activities. In order to order the production of a seal, you must provide: The charter with the stamp of the registration authority (original), a statement from the director of the PUE (you can write during the appeal), a sketch of the seal signed by the director (also created when applying). Usually the seal is made within a few days, however, for an additional fee, the seal can be made within a few hours.

Step 6. Opening a current account

After you have made a seal, you need to open a current account. To do this, we apply to the bank (in which the temporary account was opened) with a statement.

You need to provide the following documents: a copy of the Articles of Association (it is possible without notarization), a card with a sample signature of the director and a seal (issued at the bank when applying).

The above actions are all that can be done until all the documents from the registration authority are ready. After five working days, we contact the registration authority and pick up a package of documents. After that, we can assume that your company has passed the state registration.

In addition to the above actions, you need to visit a number of government agencies. Listed below are the names of organizations and a package of documents that must be prepared before the first visit.

FSZN (social protection fund). The list of documents that is required for the first visit to the Social Security Fund after the registration of the enterprise: a copy of the certificate of state registration (mandatory certified by the director), a copy of the company's charter, a copy of the director's passport (pages 31, 32, also certified), a copy of the decision to establish a private unitary enterprise (certified ), a copy of the order on the timing of payment of wages.

IMTS (tax authority). As a rule, during the first visit to the tax authority, you must take the following package of documents with you: a copy of the certificate of state registration (mandatory certified by the director), a copy of the Charter (also certified by the director), a copy of the director's passport (pages 31, 32, necessarily certified) , a copy of the decision to create a PUE, a copy of a document from the executive committee confirming registration with the tax authority, an application for the application of a simplified taxation system (if such a taxation system is chosen), two folders, a binder, a book of inspections and audits (stitched and sealed, we indicate the director on page 46. This book can be purchased in free sale). In the tax authority we receive a book of comments and suggestions.

Belgosstrakh. We call Belgosstrakh and clarify the package of documents that must be provided, because. Different regions may require different documents. As a rule, you need to provide information about the director. Also here the manager needs to undergo training on "Labor Protection".

This is such a difficult path you need to go through in order to register a PUE. And, probably, it makes sense to consider in this article a few points regarding whether it is worth opening a company on your own (without involving lawyers).

Advantages of self-registration of a company:

1. Starting a business in the form of a PUE, you directly delve into all the nuances of the enterprise, from its registration to making a profit. Already from the first steps, you will begin to get acquainted with the specifics of the activities of state bodies, get acquainted with the employees of the executive committee, and personally talk with your tax inspector. All this will allow you to own a large amount of information that you will undoubtedly need in your work.

In the future, this can greatly simplify your activities - at least you will know who to contact for certain issues.

2. Self-registration of the enterprise will significantly save your money. Without resorting to the help of lawyers when registering a PUE, you will save from 100 to 300 USD, which for many at the initial stages of doing business is not such a small amount.

Disadvantages of self-registration of an enterprise:

1. You lose a lot of personal time. If you need to register an enterprise quickly, for example, in one day, then without the help of specialists you are unlikely to succeed.

Self-registration of an enterprise, as a rule, is associated with a lot of time and effort, since it is always difficult to start something new.

2. Errors in the preparation of documents. Often there are situations when the constituent and personnel documents of enterprises contain errors. These errors, when detected by the regulatory authorities, lead to penalties, bringing to administrative responsibility under the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Belarus.

And, if the regulatory authorities reveal inconsistencies in the constituent documents, your company may be liquidated by a court decision, and all proceeds for the period of activity will be collected to the budget.

3. You won't get professional legal advice. When registering or preparing documents, a lawyer - in addition to the charter and protocols - will advise you on which taxation schemes to choose, advise contractual circuitry, and also help answer many of your questions.

Taxes to be paid

They often send situations in which they ask what taxes will need to be paid during the operation of the enterprise.

If your company will use a car in its work, as well as if your company will have an appropriate amount of waste, then in accordance with Art. 2 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus dated December 23, 1991 No. 1335-XII “On the tax for the use of natural resources (environmental tax)”, the volumes of emissions (discharges) of pollutants released into the environment are taxed; volumes of production wastes placed at waste storage facilities and (or) waste disposal facilities, volumes of placed goods placed under the customs regime of destruction and having lost their consumer properties, as well as waste generated as a result of the destruction of goods placed under this regime.

If your company pays for the purchased goods to a non-resident (foreign organization) registered in an offshore zone or to a bank account in an offshore zone, then according to the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated March 12, 2003 No. 104, you will be charged an offshore fee.

According to Art. 2 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus dated December 23, 1991 N 1337-XII "On real estate tax" tax is levied on the value of fixed assets that are property or in possession. Fixed assets include a car, office furniture, office equipment and some stationery. According to paragraph 2 of the Decree of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Belarus dated December 12, 2001 No. 118, for accounting purposes, fixed assets include the assets of the organization, if the following conditions are simultaneously met:

having a material-material form;

used during a service life of more than one year;

the unit value of which at the time of acquisition exceeds the amount determined in accordance with the Decree of the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Belarus dated March 23, 2004 No. 41 “On setting the limit for classifying property as individual items in working capital”;

if the organization does not intend to resell these assets at the time of accounting.

Almost the entire list of taxes (fees) is contained in Article 8 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Belarus dated December 19, 2002 No. 166-Z).

1. Republican taxes (fees). Republican taxes, dues (duties) include: value added tax; excises; income tax; income taxes; personal income tax; environmental tax; taxes from users of natural resources; property taxes; land tax; road taxes and fees; customs duty and customs fees; stamp duty; offshore fee; consular fee; government duty; registration and license fees; patent fees.

2. Local taxes (fees). Local taxes and fees include: retail sales tax; service tax; advertising tax; user fees.

This list is not exhaustive. So, it does not provide for a fee to the republican fund for the support of agricultural products, a tax on the purchase of motor vehicles, etc.

Whether your company will be required to pay this or that tax (fee) depends on the specific situation.

I hope you now know how to create and register a PUE.

PUE is a commercial organization consisting of one participant with the right of ownership to assign property to the enterprise. That is, the property of the PUE belongs to the organization only on the basis of economic management rights. Unlike a society, the property of a unitary enterprise is not divided into shares; therefore, the sale of a private unitary enterprise (the main difference from an LLC) takes more financial costs and time.
However, the procedure for creating a PUE (as well as the procedure liquidation of legal entities) has a certain algorithm, without the positive implementation of which it is impossible to successfully register a PUE in Minsk.

Then I will help you solve the problem within one working day (together with opening a current account). The registration process of a turnkey PUE will take 5-7 days.

The PUE Registration service consists of the following types of assistance:

  • approval of the name of the PUE;
  • assistance in finding a legal address;
  • preparation of the decision of the founder on the formation of a legal entity;
  • preparation of the charter of the PUE;

  • registration of the book of audits and checks, comments and suggestions.

As a general rule, the legal address of a PUE should be located in non-residential premises. But one of the characteristic features of the creation of a PUE is that the address of a new commercial organization may be a private housing stock (house or apartment) of the owner of the property of the PUE in cases where:

  • the dwelling is owned by the founder;
  • the founder of the PUE lives in this residential area permanently.

Both cases require the consent of the owner and all family members who live in this room and have reached the age of 18.

In the article, we will consider what a PUE is. They recognize a commercial organization that is not vested with the right to ownership of fixed property.

It is privately owned by such an enterprise by an individual (jointly owned by spouses or members of a farm) or a legal unit and belongs to this institution on the basis of economic management rights. Thus, the property is indivisible and cannot be distributed by contributions (share, share), including between employees of the enterprise.

Registration conditions

Let's take a closer look at what a PUE is.

Registration conditions are usually as follows:


Place of registration of PUE

A private unitary enterprise may be located in a residential area (for example, in an ordinary apartment or residential building) of the owner of the property, subject to a number of the following conditions:

  • The property belongs to the right of ownership (share or joint).
  • The person permanently resides in the premises.

Property

A private unitary enterprise (private unitary enterprise) can act as a participant in a business company and a contributor in a limited partnership only with the permission of the owner. A unitary enterprise has no right to make a contribution to the charter fund of partnerships or economic societies, its real estate on the basis of economic management without the consent of the owner.

A private unitary enterprise cannot sell its property and lease it, send it as a pledge, make a contribution to the charter capital of a business company and partnership, or dispose of it in any alternative way without the actual consent of the owner. The rest of the assets owned by the enterprise can be disposed of, with the exception of cases established by law.

The owner of property that is under economic management, in accordance with the law, decides on the creation of a unitary enterprise, determines the subject and goals of its activities, along with reorganization and liquidation. Among other things, this person can appoint a manager, exercising control over what is available in the company.

The owner can count on receiving a certain part of the profit from the use of the property under the economic jurisdiction of the organization he created. He is not liable for the obligations of the PUE, except in cases of bankruptcy at the enterprise due to his fault.

Authorized fund

As part of the creation of a private unitary enterprise, the size of the authorized capital is determined by the founder and owner of the property independently. The governing body of such a company is the head, who is appointed by an authorized person. It is worth noting that such an enterprise has the full right to be reorganized into a partnership or economic company in the manner prescribed by law, and at the same time by agreement of the parties. What is a PUE is now known. Next, let's talk about the required documents.

Documentation package

Suppose a citizen has decided to register a private unitary enterprise. In order to carry out this procedure as quickly and correctly as possible, he needs to prepare the following documents:

  • First of all, you will need a decision to create an organization. This document is important for a temporary bank account.
  • Help on coordinating the name of the legal entity. This will be required to create the charter of a private unitary enterprise (PUE). To obtain such a certificate, you must contact the city executive committee with a special application. Usually the name is agreed on the day of the application.
  • Letter of guarantee regarding the provision of a legal address. Any company should have it.
  • Charter in two copies and in the form of one electronic copy. After the name of the future company is agreed and the legal address is determined, you can begin to create a charter. This is the most important document, since on its basis the institution will carry out its direct activities.
  • A receipt confirming the payment of the state fee in the amount of five base units. It can be made upon application to the registration authorities.
  • Application in the prescribed form for registration. It is filled out upon request.
  • Order on the payment of wages. This paper is needed to open a current account. It is worth paying attention to the fact that not all banks need it. If a citizen has decided in which financial institution such an account will be opened, then it makes sense to clarify whether a document is required.

Thus, this is a comprehensive package of documents that must be prepared immediately before applying for the registration procedure.

It is worth noting that for a private construction unitary enterprise, the registration process will be exactly the same, as well as the conditions for registration with financial costs, will be exactly the same as in all other cases.

Responsibility of unitary enterprises

Such institutions are liable for their obligations with all the property actually belonging to them. A unitary enterprise, as a rule, is not liable for the obligations of the owner, with the exception of cases provided for by the Civil Code.

We have fully considered what a PUE is.

Stage 1: Name agreement

In order for this procedure not to be delayed, it is necessary to prepare for it in advance. So, for example, when choosing a name, you can check whether or not such a name exists in the database of names of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs. To do this, just enter the name in the search form on the web portal Unified state register.

Name approval can be carried out when:
a) personal application of the applicant to the registration authority with the presentation of a document proving his identity;
b) sending documents by mail;
c) submission by the applicant of documents in electronic form through a web portal.

If the name is agreed upon in person or by sending documents by mailapplicants submit the following documents to the registration authority:

1. Application in the prescribed form(Application forms for name approval can be taken by applicants in the global computer network Internet on the official website of the Ministry of Justice, web portal or provided free of charge by the registration authority upon personal application of the applicant for name approval);
2. A copy of the document confirming the powers of the applicant in the prescribed manner, in the event that documents are submitted by representatives of a legal or natural person, unless otherwise provided by law;
3. Permissions for the use of surnames, pseudonyms of famous persons or the use of names in cases established by law.

Approval of the name in electronic form is carried out by filling out an interactive application form on the open part of the web portal, established by the Ministry of Justice.

The procedure for coordinating the names of legal entities is regulated by the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated February 5, 2009 No. 154 “On approval of the Regulations on the procedure for coordinating the names of commercial and non-profit organizations” and the Decree of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Belarus dated March 5, 2009 No. 20 “On coordinating names legal entities".

Stage 2: Determination of the location of the company (“legal address”)

The location of a private unitary enterprise may be a residential premises (apartment, residential building) of an individual - the Founder (property owner) of a private unitary enterprise (hereinafter referred to as residential premises) in one of the following cases:

  1. The dwelling belongs to him by the right of ownership (is in shared or joint ownership) - with the consent of another owner (all owners), as well as all adult members of his family (and family members of all owners) living in this premises;
  2. He permanently resides in a dwelling (with the exception of a dwelling of the state housing stock), as evidenced by a mark in the identity document or information in the registration card - with the consent of the owner (all owners) of the dwelling of the private housing stock, as well as those living in this premises of all adult family members of the owner (all owners).

At the same time, the owner of the residential premises is charged for utilities and other payments related to the operation of such premises, in the manner determined by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus. The implementation of production activities (performance of work, provision of services) in a residential building that is the location of a private unitary enterprise is not allowed without transferring this premises to non-residential in the manner prescribed by law.

In other cases, only non-residential (administrative) premises may be the location of a private unitary enterprise.
The location of the Company with limited (additional) liability may be only non-residential (administrative) premises.

In the event that non-residential (administrative) premises are provided for the legal address, it is advisable to conclude a preliminary Lease Agreement with the potential Landlord for the specified areas or receive from him a Letter of Guarantee containing all the essential terms of the future lease agreement. Compliance with this formality may allow avoiding problems associated with the possible refusal of the Landlord to subsequently conclude a lease agreement with your organization.

Stage 3: Preparation of documents for the establishment of a company

For the state registration of a Private Unitary Enterprise, it is necessary to prepare:

  1. Founder's decision to establish a Private Enterprise;
  2. Charter of a private enterprise;
  3. Application for state registration, standard form.

For the state registration of an LLC (ALC), it is necessary to prepare:

  1. Decision on the establishment of a business company (LLC (ODO);
    (Establishment of a business company is carried out by decision of its founders, which is made before the founding meeting. The decision to establish a business company may be taken by the founders by concluding an agreement on the establishment of a business company or in another form determined by the founders (for example, a protocol). In the case of the establishment of a business company by one person, the decision (decisions) on issues related to its establishment is taken (taken) by this person alone and drawn up (drawn up) in writing).
  2. Minutes of the meeting of the Constituent Assembly;(The Constituent Assembly is held after the implementation of all decisions taken by the Founders in the decision to establish a business company.If a business company is founded by one person, the constituent assembly is not held.)
  3. Charter of a business company (LLC (ODO)).
  4. Application for state registration with annexes to it, of the established form.

ATTENTION: When preparing the Articles of Association, statements and other documents, it is necessary to take into account the peculiarities of the organizational and legal form of the legal entity being created, as well as the legal requirements for their content and execution. Otherwise, the founders may be held liable for providing false data during the state registration of a legal entity with subsequent recognition of the state registration as invalid by a court decision and the recovery of income received from such activities.

Stage 4: Formation of the statutory fund

For limited (additional) liability companies, as well as for private unitary enterprises, the legislation does not establish the minimum size of authorized funds, which allows them to be formed in the amount determined by the founders.
A contribution to the statutory fund may be things, including money and securities, other property, including property rights, or other alienable rights that have an assessment of their value.
In the case of making a non-monetary contribution to the statutory fund, it is necessary to evaluate its value. In the case of an independent assessment of the value of a non-monetary contribution to the authorized capital of a commercial organization, an examination of the reliability of this assessment is not carried out.

The statutory fund can be formed within 12 months from the date of state registration of a legal entity in full, if a shorter period of its formation is not provided for by the Charter.

When forming the statutory fund in money after the registration of a legal entity, the money is deposited by the Founders to the current account of the created legal entity in the bank.

In the case of the formation of the statutory fund at the expense of funds, before the state registration of the company, the Founder must open a temporary bank account for the formation of the statutory fund and make contributions there in the amount determined by the Founders. For this you will need:

  1. The decision to establish an organization, in which it is necessary to authorize one of the founders to open a temporary account and dispose of the funds in the temporary account.
  2. Authorized person with a passport.

Directly at the bank, the Authorized Person will fill out an application for opening an account, a questionnaire and an agreement with the bank, after which the Founders make deposits to the account.
It is advisable to open a temporary account in the bank where further settlement and cash services are planned for your company, since the transfer of funds from a temporary account in one bank to a current one in another bank is, as a rule, a paid service.

Stage 5: Submission of documents to the registration authority

Submission of documents for state registration is possible by personal appeal to the registration authority or through the web portal of the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs.

The necessary information on the procedure for submitting documents through the USR web portal can be found by clicking on the link.

When submitting documents to the registration authority with the personal presence of all the Founders (or their Representatives), you must have identity documents (passport, residence permit) and documents confirming authority (for example: power of attorney, protocol - for Representatives). If the number of founders of a commercial organization is more than three, they have the right to authorize one of them to sign an application for state registration on their behalf, which must be indicated in a document confirming the intention to create a commercial organization.

For the state registration of your Company, you must submit the following documents to the registration authority at the location of the legal entity being created:

  1. Application for state registration;
  2. Charter in two copies without notarization + its electronic copy(in .doc or .rtf format);
  3. Legalized extract from the trade register of the country of incorporation or other equivalent proof of the legal status of the organization in accordance with the legislation of the country of its establishment or a notarized copy of the specified documents (the extract must be dated no later than one year before the date of filing the application for state registration) with a translation into Belarusian or Russian (the translator's signature is notarized) – for founders who are foreign organizations;
  4. Copy of an identity document, with a translation into Belarusian or Russian (the translator's signature is notarized) – for founders who are foreign individuals;
  5. Original or copy of the payment document confirming the payment of the state fee. It is allowed to pay the state fee using bank payment cards through Internet banking, info-kiosk (only possible through ERIP). In case of payment of the state fee through the ERIP, the original or a copy of the payment document confirming such payment is not submitted to the registration authority. However, the payer is obliged, when applying to the body that collects the state fee, to report the account number of the operation (transaction) in a single settlement and information space.

It is prohibited to request other documents by the registering body.

If the Application for State Registration and its appendices are filled out correctly, and you have provided a complete set of documents, the registering authority carries out the state registration of your Company on the day of application, as evidenced by the registration stamp on your Articles of Association, one copy of which will be returned to you by the registering authority. On the next business day, a certificate of state registration will be ready, and five business days after the date of registration of the Company with the registration authority, it will be possible to receive documents on registration with tax authorities, state statistics authorities, bodies of the Fund for Social Protection of the Population of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, registration with the Belarusian Republican Unitary Insurance Company "Belgosstrakh".

The procedure for state registration of legal entities is regulated by the Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus dated January 16, 2009 No. 1 "On State Registration and Liquidation (Termination of Activities) of Business Entities".

Private Unitary Enterprise or PUE- its abbreviated name, which is well-established in speech use, is one of the most popular organizational and legal forms of commercial organizations existing in Belarus. This form of legal entity is characterized by the presence of one owner, natural or legal person. It should be noted that both residents and non-residents of the Republic of Belarus can open a PUE in the Republic of Belarus.

The procedure for opening a private enterprise, as well as a company of a different organizational and legal form in Belarus, despite its apparent simplicity, is quite complicated and requires certain knowledge and experience in passing it. Registration of a PUE in Minsk is carried out by the Minsk City Executive Committee on the basis of documents submitted by the applicant and duly executed. Before applying for PUE registrations, certain actions must be completed, including agreeing on the name, preparing and approving the charter, etc.

When opening a private unitary enterprise on your own, you risk making a lot of mistakes, including those related to restrictions on participation in a commercial organization, which in the future may lead to the recognition of state registration as invalid. Therefore, the most convenient and rational option is to register a PUE in Belarus with the help of qualified lawyers from RASHKEVICH & PARTNERS.
