In this article you can get acquainted with detailed and step by step instructions on registration of a private unitary enterprise independently. The information is presented in non-legal language, which makes it more accessible and understandable.
The primary task for a novice businessman is to decide on the choice of form legal entity for the future enterprise. It is impossible to give a definite answer to the question: “What is better to open? ChUP, LLC, ODO?”, since certain forms of ownership have different legal properties that suit certain goals and objectives. If you have not yet answered this question, we strongly recommend that you read the information on the page "Forms of legal entities". By following the link, you will find articles about forms business entities, which can be registered on the territory of the Belarusian state, and their differences from each other. From loyalty decision taken, to a certain extent, the success of the business being started depends, since legislative acts provide for different conditions for doing business for different organizational and legal forms (taxation, choice of legal address, etc.). This article will discuss the registration of a Private Unitary Enterprise (hereinafter PUE) from decision making to the start of work with the first client.
We prepare a package of documents
So, you have decided to register a private enterprise. To carry out this procedure correctly and as quickly as possible, it is necessary to prepare the following documents:
1. The decision to create a private unitary enterprise.
This document is required to create a temporary bank account.
2. Certificate of approval of the name of the legal entity.
Required to create a charter. To obtain such a certificate, you must contact the city (or regional) executive committee with a statement. As a rule, the name is agreed upon on the day of application.
3. Letter of guarantee about providing a legal address.
Any enterprise must have legal address. If you do not own property suitable for these needs, then you need to think about renting premises with a legal address. Once a suitable landlord has been found, you can obtain a letter of guarantee from him stating that he undertakes to provide the premises after registering the enterprise. This document is necessary to create the articles of association and guarantee the lease after registration.
4. Charter in 2 copies and 1 electronic copy.
Once the name has been agreed upon future company, and the legal address has been determined, you can begin to create a charter (information is entered into the charter). This is the most important document, because on the basis of it the organization carries out its activities.

When you contact the bank, you will be provided with all necessary information and documents for this operation.

“I can account for every million I make except the first,” this phrase is usually attributed to John Rockefeller when trying to hint at the difficulties of starting a business. To avoid them, it is better to start your journey by registering a legal entity. Today this can be done on the Internet. Thus, Alfa-Bank promises online registration in 15 minutes. You just need to enter your data, after which all you have to do is print out the automatically completed documents and take them to the executive committee.
Individual entrepreneur or company?
The first thing the service suggests doing is deciding on the organizational and legal form. There are three types to choose from: individual entrepreneur, private unitary enterprise and LLC. These are the most common types of legal entities in Belarus, which cover 90% of business needs for work and their legal protection. If you translate these abbreviations into human language, you get an entrepreneur and a small business company.
It is better to become an entrepreneur if you are planning a small personal business for the provision of services or sale of goods. How small? In principle, the income of an individual entrepreneur is not limited in any way, but in order to pay 3% or 5% under the simplified taxation system (STS), revenue for 9 months of work should not exceed 152 thousand rubles. This is approximately 16.8 thousand BYN per month. In addition, there are a number of restrictions who cannot work under the simplified tax system; it is better to read about this in detail in paragraph 5 of Article 286 of the Tax Code of Belarus.
A little more information about the simplified tax system. With a simplified system, individual entrepreneurs have the opportunity to work with VAT and pay 3% tax on revenue without VAT, then the tax will be 5%. In addition, there are a number of taxes from which individual entrepreneurs are not exempt. These are various state duties, fees, real estate tax and a dozen other payments. Detailed list can be found .
You also need to keep in mind that an individual entrepreneur is liable for obligations with all his property as an individual, and you can hire no more than 3 people on staff.
Individual entrepreneur registration
At the first stage, the system will ask you to indicate your name, phone number and email address, where documents for registration will then be sent.
At the next stage, a more detailed form will appear to fill out: full name, registration address, passport data and social security number. Then you will need to select the type of activity and receive completed documents for email. Documents for registration will require an application, a 3x4 photo, a passport (or residence permit) and a receipt for payment of the state fee (0.5 of the base amount).
After this, you need to print out the documents, sign the application and go to the executive committee with your passport and photo. Typically, the registration procedure takes no more than one day - the executive committee will issue a Certificate of State Registration of Individual Entrepreneurs. In addition to the certificate, you will also have to go to the tax office at your place of registration and register. There you also need to choose a taxation system - simplified taxation system or general - and purchase a book of comments and suggestions and a book of audits.
As you know, Belarus is now becoming an IT country. Therefore, you can register an individual entrepreneur online through the web portal of the Unified State Register. However, there is one big BUT. To do this, you need to log in to the portal using your electronic key. digital signature. And getting it is a whole quest and at least more than 50 rubles in expenses. We leave detailed instructions for the strong-willed and owners of Internet Explorer version 9.0.
When all procedures are completed, the bank manager will bring documents for opening an account.
Registration of private unitary enterprise
Private unitary enterprise is private unitary enterprise with one founder. Unlike an individual entrepreneur, a private unitary enterprise is not liable for the obligations of its founder.
This is already a level small business with the ability to hire an unlimited number of employees.
To register it you will need a whole package of documents:
- Statement
- Founder's decision
- Charter
- Electronic copy charter
- Founder's profile
- Receipt for payment of state duty (1 basic)
All these documents will be generated by the system after filling out the appropriate fields on the website. Here are a few subtleties you need to be aware of during the registration process:
- The agreed name is reserved in the Unified State Register for a month. During this period, you need to submit documents to register a private enterprise with this name or you will have to agree on a new name.
- If you register a private unitary enterprise in a residential premises, then utility bills will be paid at rates for legal entities (they are much higher).
- Any changes to the charter must be registered, so it is better to write down all the important points right away.
- There is no minimum size of the authorized capital of a private unitary enterprise; the founder himself decides what his contribution will be. But the authorized capital can only be created in in monetary terms and in Belarusian rubles.
- Registration of a private enterprise with a government agency takes place in one day
- Since February 23, 2017, legal entities in Belarus have been allowed not to use a seal on documents, however, in practice, both government agencies and contractors continue to require its presence.
- To work under the simplified tax system, the company must employ on average no more than 100 people over the last 9 months, and revenue must not exceed 1,159,800 rubles for the same period.
As in the previous case, to register a private enterprise you will have to purchase a book of comments and suggestions and a book of inspections. After completing all the formalities, all that remains is to open a bank account.
LLC registration
LLC is a limited liability company, or a full-fledged company, which can be created by 1 to 50 founders. This form of organization is used by both beginning startups and large companies with a staff of several thousand people. The key difference between this form of ownership is the ability to create a company with several partners. The main thing is to clearly state their shares. An LLC is not liable for the debts of its founders, but a penalty can be imposed on the share of the founders in the LLC.
To register a company on the Alfa-Bank website, you need to fill out a number of fields that will be used to create the necessary documents:
- Statement
- Decision of the constituent assembly
- Charter
- Electronic copy constituent documents
- Founder questionnaire (for each founder)
- Receipt for payment of state duty (1 basic for the first LLC)
- Certificate of approval of the name
The registration of an LLC has many similarities with the registration of a private enterprise, but it also has its own characteristics. Here they are:
- An LLC can only be registered in non-residential premises. At the same time, the tax office is suspicious of legal addresses without the actual location of the company there.
- As with private unitary enterprises, all changes to the charter of the LLC must be registered, so it is better to initially take into account all the important provisions about the work and the role of the founders in it.
- To create a company, you need a decision from the constituent meeting, which will list all the founders and indicate their shares in the authorized capital of the enterprise.
- The founders' contribution to the authorized capital can be made both in monetary and non-monetary form.
- The charter of the company may provide that the shares of the founders will not be proportional
- cost of contribution to the authorized capital
- the number of votes belonging to the participant in general meeting
- distribution of company profits
- By decision of the company's participants, a board of directors can be created ( supervisory board), who will make key decisions in the management of the company. This should also be stated in the charter.
Also, to register an LLC, you will have to purchase a book of comments and suggestions and a book of inspections. To work under the simplified tax system, the company must meet the same requirements: revenue should not exceed 1,159,800 rubles for the last 9 months, and average number employees for the same period no more than 100 people.
After receiving a state registration certificate and registering with the tax office, you can open a bank account.
By the way, this is an online service for creating all documents for registering a company or individual entrepreneur. You can receive a package of documents for opening an individual entrepreneur, creating a private unitary enterprise or LLC. The main thing is to carefully and correctly fill out the required fields in the form on the website. After this, all the necessary documents will be sent to the specified email. You will need to take it to the local executive committee and pay the standard state fee. Within a day you will receive a state registration certificate, and within another 5 days you will be registered with the tax office. All you have to do is open a bank account, and you can specify a convenient date and time so that the Alfa-Bank manager will come to you with the necessary documents.
Before you start registering a private enterprise, I recommend that you familiarize yourself with general questions about the organizational and legal form of doing business in Belarus.
Preparation for registration of private enterprise
1. First of all, we need to agree on the name of our future private enterprise. This can be done at the justice department at your place of residence. In Minsk, for example, names are agreed upon at the address: pl. Svoboda, no. 8 (entrance from the restaurant “At the Town Hall”, also known as “0.5”).
2. After approval, it is necessary to decide on the legal address of our private unitary enterprise - whether it will be residential premises or a rented office. We will need the address to prepare the Charter of the private unitary enterprise and an application for state registration of the company. Unlike other forms of doing business, such as LLCs, CJSCs, the founder’s residential premises (residential private house or a private apartment, provided that the founder of the private unitary enterprise is registered there).
3. When we have the names and legal address ready, we can begin to develop the charter of the enterprise, the founder’s decision to create the enterprise, applications and forms for state registration. I strongly recommend ordering the charter from lawyers, since it is almost impossible to independently prepare the correct charter of the company without special skills.
How to open a temporary account to form the authorized capital of a private unitary enterprise?
After you have agreed on the name of your private unitary enterprise, you need to contact the bank to open a temporary account to form the authorized capital of a unitary enterprise. What kind of bank should it be? Any bank that you like and which will service the company after registration.
To open a temporary account you will need:
- the founder’s decision to create a private unitary enterprise;
- the founder’s passport and his personal presence;
- application for opening a temporary account (usually completed locally at the bank).
Payment of the state fee for registration of private enterprises
When you have a charter ready, a temporary bank account has been opened and an authorized capital has been formed, we pay the state fee for registering a private enterprise in the amount of 5 basic units (500,000 Belarusian rubles). Details for Minsk can be viewed, for other regions - check with local executive committees.
We submit documents to the executive committee for registration of a private unitary enterprise
At the time of submitting documents to the executive committee, you must have the following ready:
- 2 copies of the charter of the private unitary enterprise, printed and bound;
- application for state registration;
- founder's questionnaire (sheet A to the application);
- an electronic copy of the charter recorded on a CD;
- The state fee for registering a private enterprise has been paid.
We submit the documents to the executive committee at the location of the private unitary enterprise (legal address). Executive committees accept documents from 9 am to 6 pm 5 days a week, with breaks for lunch. Some executive committees have shortened hours on Fridays and accept documents until 5 p.m.
To register a private enterprise, the personal presence of the founder with a passport of a citizen of the Republic of Belarus is required.
Carried out on the day of contacting the executive committee - you will be given one copy of the enterprise charter with a stamp on registration in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and individual entrepreneurs. The USR number on the stamp corresponds to the UNP number of the enterprise. From this moment, a legal entity in the form of a private unitary enterprise is considered created and you can proceed to the following steps:
1) appointment of a director and, if necessary, an accountant of a private unitary enterprise;
2) make a seal for your private enterprise;
3) open a current (settlement) account in a bank;
4) register with the Internal Revenue Service, the Federal Social Insurance Fund and Belgosstrakh.
In we will take a closer look at the procedures for appointing a director of a unitary enterprise, making a seal for a private unitary enterprise, and registering with government agencies.

It is also worth noting that to create a private unitary enterprise it is not necessary to be a resident of the Republic of Belarus.

- the possibility of registering an enterprise at the address of a residential premises owned by the founder, or in which the founder permanently resides;
