Who it is for
Company setup: from tax ID to the first invoice
Opening a company involves more than getting a tax ID (CNPJ). You must choose the legal structure (MEI, sole proprietorship, single-member LLC, LTDA or S.A.), define the activities (CNAE), the tax regime and obtain city and state registrations and licenses. A well-done company setup avoids rework and fines in the first year.
We take care of feasibility, the articles of association, registration, tax IDs and permits, and leave you ready to issue the first invoice under the right regime. We also regularize companies with pending issues, such as amendments, closures and certificates.
Practical example (illustrative)
Two partners planned to open a design studio as a MEI, but realized that expected revenue would exceed the annual limit and that a MEI cannot have partners. By planning ahead, they chose a partnership and the Simples Nacional, avoiding reclassification and rework in the first year.
Illustrative situation with fictional data, only to explain the concept.
Which structure usually fits whom?
| Structure | Who it usually suits |
|---|---|
| MEI | Someone working alone, in an allowed activity and with revenue within the annual limit of R$ 81,000. |
| Sole proprietorship or single-member LLC | Someone working alone who needs a larger structure or wants to separate assets. |
| Limited liability company (LTDA) | Founders with partners who want to define responsibilities and each partner’s share. |
| Corporation (S.A.) | Larger structures with shareholders or plans to raise investment. |
Common mistakes we help you avoid
- Choosing the wrong activity code (CNAE).
- Opening as a MEI when the activity or revenue does not allow it.
- Forgetting permits and licenses required by the city.
- Not planning the tax regime before opening.
- Mixing personal finances with the company’s.
Documents and information to get started
- Partners’ personal documents.
- Address and proof of the business premises.
- Description of the activities the company will carry out.
- Share capital and each partner’s stake.
- Expected revenue for the first months.
- Details of the previous accountant, in case of regularization.
