Terms and Prices

Registration services: 10000 rubles.

Due to many questions about our prices compared with prices offered by some companies in the market (4000-5000) we would like to explain that the only way to get any profit providing registration services at such low rates is the way of so-called “mass-method”. It is when documents are passes like on transporter from one employee to another – receiving clerk sends information to lawyer, lawyer makes adjustments to standard charter, fills in templates, next employees sets the documents and passes them to courier, who delivers them for registration. In some companies a lawyer produces up to 20 sets of documents during an eight-hour workday.

Obviously, such method has certain minuses. There is a very high probability of errors that have to be corrected after registration. Due to lack of individual approach to initial preparation of charter document, company, when starting its business activities, may face insufficiency of statutory documents, and there is often a need for further changes (in fact- another registration). While conducting business activities there might arise various disputes as the registration documents do not fully regulate relationship between founders, as well as relationship between founders and company.

While recognizing the right for existence of this “mass-method”, we truly support individual approach to each client. This model involves preparation of documents based on founders’ specific requests, formed as the result of preliminary consultations and personal communication between client and specialist, and, most importantly, the whole process is under responsibility of our particular specialist, who stays in touch with client during the whole period of registration.
