Notification of the beginning of entrepreneurial activity - a necessary document when submitting it to authorized authorities, if you wish to open your own business, regardless of the chosen field of work. What exactly is it and how to officially notify the relevant authorities of the closure of their case, we will describe in detail below.
Notification Features
As many beginning businessmen know, the beginning of entrepreneurial activity requires a mandatory notification procedure when performing certain
types of work. An organization or an
individual entrepreneur submits this document after the state registration of its newly formed structure and after tax registration, but until the moment when the company started directly to start its work.
At the same time, there are certain exceptions for legal entities registered before the first half of 2009; for them to submit an application for starting a business in general is not required, only in case of opening units in the Russian Federation.
Activities requiring notification procedure
Notify the competent authorities that your company has started work, it is necessary in those cases if it is engaged in such areas as:
- hotel services;
- household and services;
- catering ;
- wholesale and retail trade in consumer goods;
- individual and freight transportation;
- manufacture of wearing apparel;
- production of building materials and furniture;
- publishing and printing;
- information Technology;
- food production;
- social sphere;
- Housing and communal services;
- travel business.
So, if you plan to start working in one of these areas, then you should first inform about the start of entrepreneurial activity in one of the authorized structures.
Where to send the required documentation?
A notice of the start of entrepreneurial activity, depending on its scope, should be submitted to one of the following bodies:
- Rospotrebnadzor;
- biomedical agency;
- Rostransnadzor (in the provision of transportation services);
- Rostrud (for production services);
- EMERCOM of the Russian Federation (if we are talking about the production of fire protection equipment and other protective products);
- Rosstandart;
- the executive authority of the region (housing inspectorate or other authority depending on the region of the country).
How to find the territorial authority of a particular authority in the regions?
If you plan to start your own business in the regions, then the notice of the start of entrepreneurial activity should be carried at the place of registration of the legal entity with the local authority of one or another authorized structure.
In order to find the local branch of the same Rospotrebnadzor or Rostrud, you should go to the website of the agency you are interested in, enter your region and select from the list of branches that suits you according to the location of the future company. There is also contact information: you can call and specify the time of reception of representatives of the structure.
According to the current legislation, the notification procedure for starting a business is carried out exclusively at the place of registration and the actual work of the future business.
Penalties in the absence of information
Notification of the beginning of entrepreneurial activity is a prerequisite for opening your own business. If this document is not filed, the owner of the company may be fined
, since such an act is an
administrative offense from the legislative point of view
.Their size in the absence of an application depends on who is taxed by it - a legal entity or an
individual entrepreneur and ranges from 3 to 20 thousand rubles.

That is why it is better to fill out all the information on the basis of reality and submit documentation according to the required deadlines. Remember that it is very simple for representatives of competent structures to verify the veracity of these data, and it is extremely undesirable to resort to fraud.
Notification Fill Form
According to the legislation, there is a special form for filling out such a document as a notice of entrepreneurial activity. It is subject to signing by the head of the company or by an individual businessman. Then it should be stamped with a newly made organization, if one has already been made, so this item is not mandatory.
The notice consists of such items as:
- name of the authority where it is submitted;
- date of signing;
- surname and initials, as well as the position of the head of the new legal entity.
And only after the document has been signed, the start date of the business activity that you designate is determined. It can be submitted both electronically at the destination and in print, then you must fill out the form in duplicate and transmit it to an authorized person.
What other data may include a notice of the start of a business?
In addition to the above items, the document confirming the start of business also includes data such as the OGRG and TIN, the location of both the legal entity and the place of the direct implementation of the work (sometimes they may coincide). It also requires the mailing address of the main office and the location of branches and representative offices, if it is a network business.
If the form is filled out by an individual entrepreneur who does not plan to open branches in the near future, then he only needs to indicate information about exactly where his company will operate. In other words, indicate the address of the location of the future cafe, service center, beauty salon, etc.
You will also need to include in the document the scope in which you plan to open your own business, and a list of the types of work that will be performed by you or your subordinates. Please note that you can specify several of them at once, and if they are very different from each other, a notice of the start of entrepreneurial activity must be submitted to different bodies depending on the type of activity of organizations.
Rules for submitting a document
Many who are interested in how to start a business will immediately learn about the procedure for submitting a notification to the competent authorities. So, the document itself can be sent to the necessary authority in the most acceptable way for you:
- when personally contacting the authorized structure;
- in the form of a mail notification describing the attachment, with the filing date being the day the correspondence was sent;
- by e-mail, provided the document is certified with a special digital seal from the applicant.
The latter option can be implemented through the Unified portal of public services, this possibility is provided by law. It will certainly be acceptable for those who do not have enough time to go to any given authority.
In those cases, if you choose a more traditional method for sending documentation, then a paper copy of the notification should be made in two copies.
The procedure for sighting and additional documentation
Please note that the current legislation does not provide for the payment of the applicant for filing a notice of the start of business.
When the document is in the hands of a representative of the authorized structure, he is obliged to register it and put a mark on the sight, date and indicate the registration number. One copy remains with him, the second is given to the applicant. The notification sent in electronic form is confirmed by electronic registration, about which the sender receives a notification through the Unified portal of public services.
So, you should submit such a list of documents as:
- notice of entrepreneurial activity;
- inclusion of transport and other infrastructure (territory, buildings, premises, etc.) of the future company in the corresponding register;
- extract from the state register of legal entities and individual entrepreneurs;
- certificate of tax registration.
In what cases can an applicant be refused a business permit?
Sometimes the applicant may be refused a notification of the start of entrepreneurial work. There are a number of reasons for this, in particular the following:
- If the document was filed, being compiled not in the form prescribed by law. In this case, it is returned to the applicant and it is recommended that he finalize it and provide it again.
- In cases where the notification was provided to the authority that does not correspond to the chosen occupation. In such cases, the applicant receives a document indicating the refusal to accept the application, the refusal is also accompanied by information and details of the authorized body where he should be sent.
Please note that the refusal in both cases is not final, but is only the basis for finalizing the existing documentation or submitting it to the competent authority.
What to do if the address of the company has changed?
If, due to various circumstances, after obtaining permission to carry out a particular type of activity, the entrepreneur changed his legal or actual address or the company was reorganized and the form of ownership was changed, then information about these changes should be reported to the same authorities to which the notice was given.
In order to inform about this, it is necessary to draw up an application in any form and submit it to the appropriate authority within ten working days from the moment of changing the address or details. This can be done through personal appeal or by remote method through the Unified portal of public services.
The application must be supported by such a document as a certificate of change of data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or Individual Entrepreneurs.
In cases where the information was not submitted in a timely manner, the owner of the company or businessman may face a fine of 100 to 5,000 rubles depending on the form of ownership (or for incorrect submission of data).
How to notify the termination of business?
So, we already know how and where to file a notice of the beginning of entrepreneurial activity, and now we will consider what needs to be done to stop it.
Finishing work may be due to various reasons. For example, the business did not pay off, the funds invested in it did not bring the expected profit. Also, a person may want to change the scope of work, do business in another country, or prefer hired or more paid work.
According to the tax code of the Russian Federation, if the activity was carried out under the simplified tax system, its suspension must be reported to the appropriate authority with an indication of the specific date of completion of the enterprise.
The notice is an approved form for filling out, which should be submitted no later than within fifteen business days from the day and date indicated in the document.
