How to create your own cooperative

The procedure for the creation and functioning of production cooperatives is regulated by the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, as well as the Federal Law determining the status and basic principles of the activities of such organizations - the Federal Law "On Production Cooperatives". Given that the cooperative has the status of a legal entity, its registration is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by the Federal Law "On State Registration of Legal Entities and Individual Entrepreneurs".

Of course, you can use the services of intermediaries for registration, however, having a certain degree of patience, it is quite possible to go through the whole process yourself.

Give a co-op a name. Keep in mind that the requirement for the obligatory inclusion of the phrase "production cooperative" or the word "artel" in the company name is legislatively fixed.

2

Write a protocol on establishing a cooperative.

3

Make a charter, without fail having included in it the items that you need to prescribe in accordance with the law. A complete list of these items is provided in article 5 of the Federal Law "On Production Cooperatives".

4

Take care of the registration address. A letter of guarantee must be prepared for the registering authority.

5

Pay the state fee.

6

Pay share fees. According to the law, by the time of registration, all members of the artel must make at least a tenth of their contribution, the remaining amount requires payment within a year after the cooperative is registered. If shares are made in cash, a temporary account must be opened with a bank to make them. In case of payment of shares by property, an act of assessment of the contributed property is drawn up, signed by all participants in the cooperative.

7

Fill out the form P11001 (application form for state registration of a legal entity upon creation).

Now, until the moment of creating your own cooperative, you have very little left. Collect the entire set of documents (the requirements for the composition of documents for the filing date should be clarified by the tax office; they will also tell you which documents need to be signed, which need to be sewn and certified with a signature indicating the number of stitched and numbered sheets, etc.).

Go to the tax office, which registers the created legal entities (in Moscow it is MIFNS No. 46 in Moscow, in St. Petersburg - MIFNS No. 15). Submit documents and wait five business days. During this period, you are required to register or return documents (usually a charter) for revision.
