Incorporation of a company in Belarus
To perform business activities, first of all, it is required to obtain the status of a company, i.e., to register a legal entity. The registration process starts with analysis of the company incorporation objectives (commercial or social), composition of its members (one, two or several dozens), as well as other legal and business factors.
As a result of such analysis, we will propose the optimal form of performance of activities (out of more than ten forms possible in Belarus) and the taxation system type.

Corporate management in Belarus
One of the key conditions of successful operation of the company is correct distribution of competences between its management bodies.
Thus, owners must focus on the company’s future, the board of directors must reasonably approve or reject decisions on acquiring new businesses and entering new markets, and the board or the director must ensure achievement of the goals set and coordinated performance of work by all employees.
Exactly such correct setting of the corporate governance is also the key to higher attractiveness of enterprises for investors.
