Accreditation of branches
Special offer until 23 september's
Verification of the final set of documents for the accreditation of the branch / representative office and verbal conclusion of PRIORITET Law Firm experts free of charge
Does your company plan to work in Russia? Specialists of PRIORITET Law Firm will promptly conduct accreditation of the branch.
A foreign company cannot sell goods, organize production or provide services in the Russian Federation directly from the central office without assistance. For these purposes, you have to choose one of the three options: open a subsidiary, a branch or a representative office in Russia. At the same time, the procedure for creating business units is different from that for domestic organizations. Professionals of PRIORITET company will conduct accreditation of branches of foreign companies in a short time and at a reasonable cost. This procedure is mandatory by law, which somewhat complicates the whole process due to the large number of necessary documents and increases the time it takes to enter a new market. However, addressing the specialists who are familiar with the nuances of the Russian law and the specifics of the state bodies operation allows circumventing bureaucratic barriers and speeding up formal procedures.
