Working with government agencies is not a separate stage. It can be defined as a "red thread" running through the whole process of foundation of enterprise and, by the way, does not finish up there. The Russian Health and Consumer Rights Agency, the Ministry of Emergency Situations (firefighters), Inter-Agency Committee, Committee on State Control, Use and Protection of Historical and Cultural Landmarks, Head Office of the State Unitary Enterprises, district administrations, certification authorities - this is not a complete list of institutions which one should inevitably contact while founding and subsequent functioning business.

If you considering delegating this objectionable and nervous task to others, you are welcome to find further information in "Permits and Approvals" section.
