Ready-made companies

Choosing is always difficult. But since not choosing means complete inactivity, and you are an active person, that is, you are not solving, in the words of the famous professor Preobrazhenskyi, problems of "cosmic scale and cosmic stupidity", but you are already choosing.

When the issue of starting one's own business is pressing, there can be only two alternatives - to start "from scratch" or buy a ready-made company. As with everything, each possibility hides many pros and cons. We won't offer you an objective answer, what's more, and don't be tempted if others do. In business, everything is extremely individual, and you, as the future owner and manager, will have to decide. The "arithmetic" depends only on the specific situation and firm. pros and cons.

For our part, we are ready to take on all routine work related to registration actions and documentary support of your business. Regardless of the option you choose, you will receive a complete package of documents. Agree that it is even very good for a start.

Ready-made companies currently available for re-registration are published by our group in the buy a ready-made company in Ukraine section at Business Market.

So, when should you buy a ready-made enterprise? In this case, only the documents are redone, and the ready-made business keeps working. This saves time, effort, nerves and money for registration procedures. This is an opportunity to purchase a company from:

history and reputation, license, established team, stable sales markets, VAT payer status, other assets, including intangible, and moreover undervalued, because in case of sale they cost less than operating and those that bring profit (production facilities, retail space, equipment, transport, Internet resources, etc.) - it is worth checking their condition, which will give an opportunity to bargain and conclude an agreement on more favorable terms

And all this - at a relatively low cost, because it is no secret that in most cases companies on the verge of bankruptcy want to get rid of it. If you, as a future businessman, have a clear plan for its revival and development, then why not try? The price is small, but the chance is worth it, because very often only a change of management affects the state of affairs in a fundamental way.

The purchase option is suitable for you if: you need to take out a loan, participate in a tender, sign an important contract, but there is simply no time to register a company "from scratch"

But the question of what is easier - to build for oneself or to rebuild, will remain rhetorical.

Today, it is enough to set search conditions on the Internet, and the result will not make you wait. You simply choose the most random option from the proposed list. LLCs are in the greatest demand - firstly, such a type is easier to register, and secondly, its founders do not risk personal property, but only the property of the LLC.

Intending to make such a fateful purchase, you simply must have sufficient information. After all, as you know, free cheese can only be found in a mousetrap. In order not to get into it, you should contact our specialists, who, having vast practical experience in supporting business purchase and sale agreements, are well aware of their "pitfalls": neglect of accounting and personnel accounting (it will have to be restored - we offer accounting services); the probability of receiving the status of "absent at the place of stay" in the tax service; - for an unreliable legal address in the so-called "one-day firm" (we are ready to offer you a reliable address in Kyiv, with the capital's prestige and subscriber office and secretarial service); violation of license conditions, which, unfortunately, can be revealed only during inspection after purchase (we will select a company with reliable permission documents for your requests); possible "gray" schemes for obtaining a VAT payer's certificate, which provide grounds for canceling the status of the payer; responsibility for violations that took place in the past regarding the payment of taxes by the "old masters"; and passing checks on social insurance funds (see above - preliminary accounting of the commercial condition before the purchase).

Unfortunately, for a newbie in business, buying a company can turn into Pandora's box. An alternative to purchase is registration "from scratch", which with the help of our professionals, who are ready to offer you a comprehensive approach to registration, will not take much more time than making a purchase.

Advantages:

"clean" history, confidence in legally obtaining the status of a VAT payer, in the reliability of the legal address, the cost of registering a company and obtaining a certificate is lower than buying a ready-made company - sometimes significantly, because here everything depends on the turnover and assets of a real business, the possibility of choosing a taxation system (single tax or VAT), licenses for carrying out various types of activities, with and without turnover.

You can also sell the firm if that is the casethere will be a need, with an obvious benefit from the sale, rather than paying for the liquidation of the legal entity.

Documents required for the sale or purchase of a company: a copy of a certificate from the State Register of Trade and Industry, a copy of a certificate from the statistical authorities, a copy of a state registration certificate or an extract from the State Register of Enterprises, others - depending on the economic activity (licenses, permits, etc.).

Factors of business success: established sales and ease of management; "raisin" - a certain element of exclusivity (product or strategic location of the enterprise); high profitability of the product or services; their demand - stimulating demand in practice is unreasonably expensive; the futility of competition only in the price of a product or service; the minimum possible number of employees; focus on obtaining profits primarily from regular customers

Under any conditions, a high-quality accounting and audit analysis of the company's assets, which can be carried out only with the involvement of experienced specialists, is a necessary condition before purchasing a business. Our company will provide you with complete information about: whether the company has no debts, unprofitable contracts, how salaries were paid to employees, whether the market of regular customers is formed, whether the organization has a strategy for attracting profit. If the company does not suit you according to at least one of the criteria, we advise you to abandon such an enterprise, and we will select another one.

Choose the best version of the "turnkey" enterprise, prepare the documents correctly during the purchase and receive full legal and accounting support as a bonus - not a bad start, isn't it? And our specialists are always happy to help you turn your business dreams into reality.
