The first step in starting a business is company registration. In the eyes of many entrepreneurs, company registration is very simple. Even if you are not familiar with it, just find an industrial and commercial agency and spend some money. But in fact, many entrepreneurs don't know that there are many things to consider when registering a company, otherwise it will leave great hidden dangers for the company's future development. What problems should we pay attention to? Here are five hidden dangers I have carefully sorted out. Welcome to read the collection.
First, the company name is not nice.
It is generally recommended to prepare 3-5 company names. When the verification fails, if one fails, check the next one immediately. It should be noted that the company name with the word China is very strict, and the possibility of passing is very low.
In addition, the company name should not only be pleasant to listen to, but also be combined with the company's brand and products, such as BMW, which is familiar to everyone. You can connect the brand with the company's products and product features as soon as you listen.
After determining the company name, you need to inquire about the relevant domain name, trademark, copyright and so on. If the trademark, domain name and copyright of the related name have been registered, it is suggested to change its name, otherwise it will be a great loss to change its name in the future.
Second, the choice of company type is not important?
Common types of companies mainly include limited liability companies, sole proprietorship companies, partnership companies (divided into general partnerships and limited partnerships) and joint stock limited companies.
Among them, limited liability companies are more common, which is also a mainstream of company registration. Generally, it is jointly invested by two or more shareholders, and it bears limited liability to the extent of the subscribed capital contribution. A general partnership company and a sole proprietorship company shall bear unlimited joint and several liability for the debts of the company. If the sole proprietorship company wants to become a multi-shareholder in the future, it needs to be reorganized. Restructuring is to change a wholly-owned company into a limited liability company, which is equivalent to directly canceling the company and needs to be explained in the newspaper. There are advantages and disadvantages. A limited company pays enterprise income tax, which means that 25% of the gross profit of the company is turned over to the state every year, while a wholly-owned company only needs to pay personal income tax.
It should be emphasized that we must be cautious when registering a one-person limited liability company, because although it is also a limited company, if the company faces dissolution, it needs to bear joint and several liability for paying off the company's debts. Of course, if it is a wholly-owned investment, it is also a good organizational form.
Third, does it matter whether the company's capital is too big or too small?
After the registered capital of the company was changed from paid-in system to subscribed registration system, many entrepreneurs thought that the larger the registered capital of the company, the better, which showed that the company had strength and confidence, and many people even had tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
However, it should be noted that subscription does not mean non-payment, especially when the company settles accounts, it must see the money. In addition, when the company encounters a debt dispute, the court will also recover the subscribed capital for compensation. At this time, too much registered capital has harmed yourself.
Of course, the company's registered capital is not as small as possible. If it is too small, customers will doubt your ability and banks will not like it.
Therefore, the registered capital of the company can be moderate. It is suggested to go to relevant websites (such as enterprise search) where you can inquire about industrial and commercial information, inquire about the registered capital of competitors, and refer to the amount of different competitors to determine your own amount.
Fourth, the registered address of the company is not important?
When choosing the registered address of a company, many entrepreneurs often find an address to register for the sake of cheapness, but they don't know that the registered address of the company is very important. For example, in some areas, registered companies will have tax incentives. For example, in some places, it is forbidden to use false addresses as company registered addresses.
Therefore, when choosing a company's registered address, we should learn as much as possible about the requirements of the local industrial and commercial departments for the company's registered address and what tax benefits are available in different regions.
5. Are you not in a hurry to register the company?
In the eyes of many entrepreneurs, companies can register slowly and spend time and energy on team formation and business planning and development, but in fact, the sooner the company registers, the better, such as applying for high-tech enterprise recognition, reporting some other government subsidy projects, the New Third Board or IPO. These all have strict requirements for the life of the company.
Others, such as trademarks, patents, copyrights, WeChat official account authentication, and domain name filing, can only be carried out after the company is registered, so the sooner the company's business license is carried out, the better.
