There have been many recent topics on startups, organizing teams, software development and some other things that are inextricably related to software or internet business. In this article I want to tell you that now is waiting for you, wish you to open your own company to sell software ( software, software etc. ). For as long as full topics on this subject I have not seen.
Why this topic? . And that's just about Russia ( if all goes well, then lay out a similar topic, and an international software businesses ).
Please note:. All the following information is presented in terms of minimizing the time spent (and increase the reliability of the event ) and in the absence of residence registration in jur. entity ( and the lack of an office worker ).
The product and the team.
Before starting be sure to keep at least something. Anything that brings money. Without cash flow (even at 10-20 rubles) contrive all this is meaningless (hereafter it will be clear why, but the initial costs of processing all the red tape in the order of 30k rubles). Naturally, the opening of its legal form and register a business is that if you are going to grow. And not just grow, and.
very. grow. Have a turnover of 20-30 thousand rubles, and you can without having any legal entity, as in ...

So, at the very beginning we should have a product. In principle, all the same as (in the case of a business is to sell software and related services). If this product ... Or prosyadet Development. More or something. But make sure prosyadet. Keep this in mind.
Well, like we have something to sell (whether it is at least the utility «Time Machine for Windows»). We have a couple of people who share responsibility for the company and are willing to work for its success. What's next?.
Then the fun.
Choose a form of.
About the partners and agreement.
already had an excellent article. In my opinion the first to go private agreement ( it can be a legal paper) between several people: that they are willing to pay, and they expect to receive in return. And a lot of trust between them. Otherwise, it still does not work. You can not paint everything on paper. If there is no trust, then sooner or later there will be loopholes for disputes and conflicts. If the trust is, the paper - it just an additional confirmation, but not the basis for.
Ltd in terms of legal structure is even better for several reasons: limited liability share capital (a minimum of 10 000 rubles) and a full juridical. person ( with all the reporting and all the pros and cons, but to work with the juridical. individuals are always easier in the name of juridical. person and by bank transfer - so trust reason more). The following discussion focuses specifically about the company (for IP situation is somewhat simpler, but require registration or temporary registration at the place of registration of IP). Also, if you plan to grow, the PI for potential clients and partners will look undignified. Make the company will not regret it.
After selecting the form of codes needed to determine the activity ( this is the most interesting here:). All the codes do not give (it is very lengthy document, under one hundred pages ), but if we work with the software, then just look in the direction of section 72 ( activities associated with the use of computers and information technology). For software development has its own code - 72. 20. Nearby you can see a couple more. I advise you to enter some (the first type of activity is essential, others - optional), a reserve. Careful with the licensing (development of software licenses are not required, but the communication services required ).
Registering a company.
In your town (the question about Moscow, but I do not think there will be some big differences ) have a number of the firms involved in registrations. It is best to seek the advice of friends, for the shoals in this case can come back to haunt much. The cost of opening a person (with all the duties, documents, and print ) a cost of 10,000 rubles in September 2009.
Registered address? . Now this is also done not a big problem. Basically you need a lease agreement to formalize on the leased address jur. face. In Moscow, this is automated, and this service is managed in 7000. Additionally, in order not to stand in line on October 1 ( beginning of the year ) was paid one thousand - the tax is passed in just a half hour. Total:.
18 000 rubles. By these steps:.
1) Find the log. Make an.
2) Choose the codes of the name, shape, activity and tax scheme. sign the paper.
3 ) assured all the papers at the notary. Theoretically, it is possible to combine the first visit of an agreement with the registrar, signing the papers (including codes of activity) and the opening statements, the assurance of necessary documents by a notary (who can sit in an adjacent room ). In my case it was spread over a week.
4) Visit to the tax. Give a set of documents (including the original charter, which remains in the tax, and a copy, which then leaves you). This may take a whole day. Courage.
5) Preparation of all documents with the registrar ( this takes from two weeks to a month after a visit to the tax: are different cases, just check with the registrar, where you can pick up ).
After step 5 you are (probably ) ... Director and Heads of. accountant all rolled into one.
any juridical. people. Total: two to six weeks for all - about -all.
Open a bank account.
At this ordeal did not end with. I advise you along with the registration jur. person, first, find an accountant (he can tell and the registrar ), who will maintain all reports (unless it's your family, of course) and decide on the bank, which will account jur. person (this is not the same as that due to physical. person!). If an accountant can tell (there is a link), where it is better to open an account - listen to him. Here, time is already against you (without account to the operating activities of highly problematic ).
So, in the hands of all the documents we have. We go to the bank. If you do not know to what, it's best to choose not much pontovy. In my case I made the mistake of turning immediately to the Alfa- Bank: was refused. Visits to the bank will go for something like the following scheme:.
1) Book time for opening an account ( it usually takes about one hour). Get documents.
2) Fill the documents do notarially certified copy of the charter (if you do not know whether to do it in the bank - it is better to do in advance, and then run around and look for a notary napryazhno more ). Sign all contracts.
3) Wait about a week ( at best) or a couple of days (in the worst case: if the reported failure - then just go to the next bank on the list, in the same bank fails to open an account only once every six months ). Then come and make the authorized capital (in my case, it.
10 000 rubles. ).
4) If there is any Client Bank Online, you will need to print a certificate of acceptance, transfer, sign it and bring it to the bank.
5) Also, if you make the authorized capital to activate online customer, you will need to come again ( signed by the bank to take an act of acceptance and transfer and receive a statement of the account of the introduction of capital (as well as the cancellation of service fee for the first month ).
Service in the bank is about 1000-10000 rubles ( varies greatly ). This must be taken into account when calculating the cash flow.
Total: another four weeks to the entire tape.
Accounting and cash flow.
Since accounting is the easiest way. You negotiate with your accountant about the payment and the monthly rent to him the primary statements (bills, acts of acceptance, and so on - ask an accountant to enumerate clearly that he (she ) is required ). Then once a month, you can manually ( or via an accountant by proxy) charge s / n, and pay off her taxes.
Initially it is assumed that you are choosing a simplified tax scheme (for software companies, IMHO, better to take the initial 6% - then you can go up to 15% ). In her taxes on gross sales can be paid once a quarter ( do not forget to watch the balance!), But the taxes related to the s / n ( income and social) - each month. However, you can transfer money in dividend paying gene. Director of the minimum s / n. In this case, tax time is less comes out (9 % vs. 27%).
Since we are talking about a software company, the question arises: how to sell? .
Sotfkey. (or.
AllSoft. ). First, you get a complete platform for all sales (all accounts, all cash advance portion of the system ). As an example: automatic (? ) Advertising products softkey on Yandex. Market:.

The Commission, in the vicinity of 20 %, but here you need to understand that, first, you use the advertised brand ( rather difficult to persuade people to give their money to a ... Secondly, you take off all the headache for the removal / withdrawal: a monthly invoice for goods sold and the amount credited to your account ( well, maybe a paltry fee for the transfer of money ). If the person on the team you have a little bit, it's a big help.
Signing a contract with you the softkey does not cost anything (well, just that the time for approval of details).
What's next?.
And then you - completely free of growth. Do you have a juridical. person, the scheme to obtain money, the product (yes, we started with the fact that the product is already available), communication with users (oh, it will be much, very much:) and ...
Solids: Up jur. person cost.
25-30 thousand rubles. order.
5-10 thousand. for monthly service ( bank account services to accountants, if the gene. Director of yourself ).
As a bonus, if you are going to provide consulting services on your product, you can now do it on the full contract. The most important thing here - seek competent legal blanks on the contract and to learn how to bill (yes, I suggested a free program to do this -.
business Park. ). The rest of you should be able (if you have and sell a product, and have a team with which you are working side by side ).
And the rest: good luck, And that was just teething problems, not the other miscellaneous.
