Registering your own business requires providing a wide variety of contact and contact details. Among them, there is information about the place where the company is to be registered and the place of actual business. Sometimes it is exactly the same place. The company is registered in the place where it operates, but sometimes this is not the case. The place of registration is the seat of the company, while the activity is carried out somewhere else.
When registering a business, it is mandatory to provide the company’s registered office address. Even if the entrepreneur already knows at the registration stage that it is a temporary seat, he must provide it anyway. In the event of a change of seat, it is possible to introduce an appropriate update in the database and, consequently, change the address. At the beginning, however, one must be given.
The address of the seat may even be a private apartment of the entrepreneur, provided that he can be found there and documents, mainly financial, of the business will be kept there.
The choice of the seat is of great importance and affects the future of the company. The affiliation with the tax office, for example, depends on it. It is precisely the address that determines the competent office.
The company’s registered office address is the one that should be included on all financial and accounting records.
In addition, this is an address that must be open and public as this type of contact details must be available by law.
If the nature of the work in a given enterprise means that the work is also performed outside the seat, in other places, they should be indicated in the registration application. In the case of a company, it should be reported in the registration application submitted to the National Court Register as branches of the enterprise. If all additional places of business are known at the time of establishment and registration, indicate all of them. If some of them occur while running a business, systematic updates should be made.
It is very important to become aware of what a corporate seat is. For if, as a service provider, an entrepreneur performs his work for his clients, then their houses or places where the service was performed are not at all a place that can be considered the seat of the company. They belong to the customers and these are the places of the customers. You cannot register your company there, nor indicate it as a place of business.
Usually, the company is based in your own flat, parents’ apartment or virtual office. First of all, you should know that an entrepreneur must have the right to occupy premises for running his own business. If the property belongs to him, no problem. If not, it must obtain the consent of its owner. Without this, it is not possible to register a business in this place.
The legislator also provided for a situation in which activities are performed in various places that cannot be identified with prior notice. It could be an on-site activity, or it could just be in many different places. If this is the nature of the business, it can be included in the notification and registration application. This means an activity performed in person at the client’s premises or at a location indicated by the client. It is a perfect solution to the problem of finding the right place of business.
Regardless of the above provision, however, the seat, as the work organizational center, must be selected and indicated in the application. If it is a private apartment, it is possible to deduct part of the cost of maintaining the apartment on the costs of business activity. Of course, it cannot be all costs, but only a part of them. However, it is always a certain profit that allows you to reduce the tax base.
