How to apply for a business license
First, choose the form of the company:
An ordinary limited liability company needs 2 or more shareholders with a minimum registered capital of 30,000 yuan. Since June 1 2006, the new company law allows 1 shareholders to register a limited liability company. This special limited liability company is also called "one-person limited liability company" (but there will be no "one person" in the company name and "sole proprietorship by natural persons" in the license), which requires minimum registration.
If you invest and start a business in partnership with friends and relatives, you can choose an ordinary limited company with a minimum registered capital of 30,000 yuan; If it is the sole shareholder, choose a one-person limited liability company with a minimum registered capital of 65,438+10,000 yuan.
Second, the steps of registering a company:
1. Name verification: Go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and get an Application Form for Pre-approval of Enterprise Name, and fill in the company name you want. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau will search online (the intranet of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau) to see if there are duplicate names. If there is no duplicate name, you can use that name and issue the Notice of Pre-approval of Enterprise (Brand Name). This step charges 30 yuan. 30 yuan can help you find five names, many of which are repeated, so you don't have to try common names to avoid wasting money.
2. Rent a house:
Rent an office in a special office building. If you have your own factory or office, some places are not allowed to work in residential buildings. After renting a house, you should sign a rental contract and ask the landlord to provide a copy of the real estate license.
After signing the rental contract, you have to go to the tax bureau to buy stamp duty, and the tax rate is one thousandth of the annual rent. For example, if your annual rent is 65,438+00,000 yuan, you need to buy stamp duty of 65,438+00 yuan and post it on the front page of the rental contract. Any place that needs to use the rental contract in the future needs a copy of the contract with stamp duty.
3. Write "Articles of Association":
You can download a sample of the Articles of Association from the website of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, and just modify it. The Articles of Association shall be finally signed by all shareholders.
4. Carving private seals:
Go to the place where the seal is engraved on the street and carve a private seal. Tell them about carving a corporate seal (square). The cost is around 20 yuan.
5. Obtain the Bank Confirmation Letter from the accounting firm:
Contact the accounting firm and get the "bank confirmation letter" (it must be the original, and the accounting firm will stamp it with a fresh seal). If you are not clear, you can look at the classified advertisements in the newspaper. There are many advertisements in accounting firms.
6. Go to the bank to open a company capital verification account:
All shareholders bring their shares to the bank, their articles of association, the name verification notice issued by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, the personal seal of the legal representative, the ID card, the money for capital verification and the blank confirmation letter form to the bank to open a company account. You have to tell the bank that it is a capital verification account. After opening a company account, each shareholder will deposit the corresponding money into the company account according to his own capital contribution. The bank will send each shareholder a payment slip and affix the bank seal to the confirmation letter.
Note: According to the Company Law, when registering a company, investors (shareholders) must make full contributions, which can be in the form of loans (namely RMB), physical objects (such as automobiles), real estate and intellectual property rights. All you do in the bank is make a monetary contribution. If you have physical objects, real estate, etc. As a capital contribution, you need to go to an accounting firm to evaluate its value first, and then make a capital contribution based on its actual value, which is rather troublesome. So I suggest you take money directly to make a contribution. No matter what means you use to get the money, whether you borrow it or not, you only need to pay the capital contribution in full.
7. Processing the capital verification report:
Take the shareholder's payment slip issued by the bank, the confirmation letter sealed by the bank, and the company's articles of association, the name verification notice, the rental contract and the copy of the real estate license, and go to the accounting firm to handle the capital verification report. The general expenses are around 500 yuan (the registered capital is less than 500,000 yuan).
8. Registered company:
Obtain various forms of company establishment registration from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, including the application form for establishment registration, the register of shareholders (promoters), the registration form of directors, managers, supervisors, legal representatives, designated representatives or entrusted agents, etc. Fill it out and submit it to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau together with the Notice of Name Approval, Articles of Association, Rental Contract, Copy of Property Ownership Certificate and Capital Verification Report. You can get the license in about three working days. The cost is around 300 yuan.
9. With the business license, engrave the official seal and financial seal at the engraving institution designated by the Public Security Bureau. In the following steps, you need to use the official seal or financial seal.
10, which is the enterprise organization code certificate:
With the business license, go to the Technical Supervision Bureau to apply for the organization code certificate, and the fee is 80 yuan.
1 1, go to the bank to open basic deposit account:
With business license and organization code certificate, go to the bank to open basic deposit account. It is best to do it in the same branch of the bank that did the capital verification at the beginning, otherwise a capital verification account fee of 100 yuan will be charged.
Opening a basic deposit account requires a lot of forms. You'd better take everything you can, or you'll have to make many trips, including the original business license, ID card, organization code certificate, public property stamp and legal person stamp.
When you open basic deposit account, you need to buy a cipher (since the second half of 2005, most banks have this requirement), and the cipher needs 280 yuan. In the future, your company will need to use a cipher to generate passwords when writing checks and withdrawing money.
12, tax registration:
After receiving the license, you should go to the local tax bureau for tax registration certificate within 30 days. General companies need to apply for two kinds of tax registration certificates, national tax and local tax. 40 yuan 80 yuan.
When handling the tax registration certificate, you must have an accountant, because one of the materials required by the tax bureau is the accounting qualification certificate and ID card. You can hire a part-time accountant first. The salary of a part-time accountant just hired by a small company is generally enough in 200 yuan.
13. Apply for purchasing invoices:
If your company sells goods, you should apply for an invoice in the national tax, and if it is a service company, you should apply for an invoice in the local tax.
Finally, it opened. Pay attention to tax returns on time every month. Even if you don't need to pay taxes if you don't start business, you should declare it at zero, otherwise you will be fined.
