Choose the legal form of a private educational institution. You can use a non-profit organization for this purpose or register as an individual entrepreneur. The law does not allow educational activity to a legal entity that is a commercial structure. As an individual entrepreneur, you can conduct business yourself, or use the capabilities of third-party specialists.

Find out if the activity you intend to conduct is subject to licensing terms. A license is not required if you intend to carry out educational activities through seminars, trainings or provide consulting services without issuing a certificate of education. Individual pedagogical activities carried out by the individual entrepreneur himself are also not licensed.

Decide who will be the founder of the organization organized as a legal entity. In some cases, in order to give the educational structure credibility, it is advisable to include in the number of founders a state authority or local government, as well as public organizations.
