The founder’s status of an individual entrepreneur or his recent termination does not affect the standard LLC registration procedure. The set of documents is determined only by the number of participants. If he is one, the sole decisions on the establishment of an LLC, the appointment of its Director General and Chief Accountant and approval of the charter are sufficient. If there are two or more, the minutes of the general meeting of the founders are drawn up. In both cases, before issuing documents, it is necessary to resolve the issue of the legal address of the company, and then quickly prepare all the papers for the authorized capital: deposit it into the bank into a savings account or fill out the deposit with property.

A ready-made package of documents for registration of an LLC is submitted to the tax. Depending on the region, this may be the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate, serving the legal address of the future company, or a separate registration inspection. For example, in Moscow, with all questions regarding the registration of IP and LLC, termination of their activities, etc. engaged in MIFNS-46. In this case, an application to terminate business and a package of documents for registering an LLC can be brought there on the same day, but they will have to be submitted in different windows, each with its own queue (in Moscow MIFNS-46 it is electronic). If there are no plans to close the IP, You can limit yourself to just registering an LLC.

note

Some particularly entrepreneurial businessmen use the simultaneous presence of private entrepreneurs and LLCs to conceal the company's profits from taxation. To do this, they conclude an agreement between their LLC and themselves as an entrepreneur, for example, to provide services and, under the guise of their payment, casually cash out the money from the company's current account. However, this tricky scheme is easily calculated by the tax authorities and is fraught with financial sanctions and criminal liability, so it is better not to resort to it.
