The cost depends on the form of business:
Individual entrepreneurship (IP) is the simplest form, it is at the same time the cheapest. The compulsory expenses include only the payment of the state registration fee, which is $ 11. Even making a seal and opening a bank account are optional.However, despite the simplicity of the procedure, we do not advise you to neglect the advice of specialists. Incorrect preparation of documents, errors in their filling or legalization can not only stretch the registration process for a long time, but also entail unnecessary costs.
Opening a limited liability company (LLC) in Russia is much more expensive. Mandatory expenses include:
- minimum authorized capital - $ 135
- state registration fee - $ 55
- production of the seal - $ 7-12
- opening a bank account - up to $ 30
- preparation of constituent documents - $ 25-70
- legalization of documents - $ 200-230 per document
- consulting and other services - $ 135-200
- notary services - $ 15-20
- separate expenses are associated with the legal address. To register a company, it must have an address, while the tax office is struggling with fictitious and mass registration addresses, so their price on the market is growing and now is $ 500-1000
Turnkey LLC registration costs from $ 500, depending on the complexity of the task.
When registering a joint-stock company, you will have to additionally spend on the authorized capital (if the JSC is public - at least $ 1350 rubles) and on the issue of shares. State duty for the issue of securities is 0.2% of the par value, but not more than $ 2700
As for branches / representative offices, the state fee for their accreditation, apart from other expenses, will amount to $ 1650.
The RAUIE offers services for organizing representative offices of foreign companies in Russia.

You get not only office space with employees, but also a ready-made infrastructure, access to a knowledge base, the ability to use the reputation and brand of the RAUIE etc. The cost of packages for opening a representative office in Russia starts from $ 1500.
Also, one of the options for starting a business in Russia is buying an already operating company. As a rule, these are shares in the authorized capital or whole LLCs. The acquisition of such an enterprise costs from $ 270 + notary services + $ 11 state duty for making changes to the register. A company with a “business history” will cost much more.
After acquiring a share in the authorized capital, the LLC acquires the status of a company with foreign participation. This means that its activities will be subject to foreign investment legislation. In particular, this allows foreign entrepreneurs involved in the implementation of priority projects to import means of production with significant customs benefits.
