The place where the company is located does not matter, since it is a physical location. If we are talking about a chain of stores or about some kind of company representative, which has branches throughout the country, then there can be a great many physical addresses. Another thing is the officially documented “face” of the company, the place where, in theory, the director should constantly work and be located. Changing a legal address is easy enough, although some preparation is required in terms of documents and internal meetings. Depending on what form of activity the enterprise has, the necessary course of action also varies.
Changing the legal address of the company may be necessary for several reasons. Most often this happens due to disagreements with the tax authority at the place of current registration. An organization that has not shared something with the reviewers may be under their close control, which will only increase. Such representatives of the authorities are able to find fault with anything, and regular seizures of bookkeeping will become commonplace.
That is why it may be necessary to change the legal address of the organization. The most advantageous option in this case will be the use of special “clusters”, where many other firms are already registered. There are special companies that collect and for a small fee provide information on where it is best to locate enterprises in order to avoid the scrutiny of inspection bodies. Or they will help to find an inspector who will be as loyal as possible in the performance of official duties.
Today, changing a legal address without unnecessary problems is quite difficult. This is due to the fact that regions where there are a large number of company openings and closings per month are trying to improve economic security by introducing additional verification criteria. Such procedures, although slightly complicate the lives of ordinary legal entities, but help to deal more effectively with fraudsters.
The procedure for changing the legal address is to provide the following list of necessary documents to the body registering legal entities:
- Applications for changes made in the register, as well as the constituent documents of the company.
- Protocol or decision of the participants on the change of address of the company.
- State duty payment receipts .
- The charter of the company or changes made to it, in the amount of two copies.
- Copies of the current charter, as well as a request for an archive copy of it.
- A receipt confirming the payment of money at the expense of the state fee for providing an archival copy of the company's charter.
- A letter of guarantee from the owner or lease agreement.
In the same way, the legal address of a CJSC, OJSC, LLC and other forms of legal entities is changed. All documents are submitted to the registration authority, and the company’s location changes during the allotted time. The main thing is to approach the choice of a new office wisely so that you do not have to start the entire procedure from the very beginning.
