I'm starting a small service company in Russia and want to register it properly. What documents are required, which authorities issue the registration and tax IDs, and what are typical timelines? Do I need a local attorney to handle the process?

You can establish the company through a Russian bank (Sber, for example), but it is better to have a lawyer for company incorporation.


Key questions refer to:


1/shareholder - company or individual, country of origin?

2/do you have a Russian director? it is obligatory

3/do you have rental agreement, actual office or reliable registered address is required

4/who will be in charge of reporting and accounting, we can handle it

5/city of incorporation in RF?

6/actual activities in detail?
