I'll go into construction. Let them teach me

The global financial crisis has hit the banking and construction sectors first and foremost. Today many developers are winding down or suspending their projects; even large construction sites are being frozen. However, paradoxically, even in these conditions there are still bold people who decide to open construction firms. Their reasoning is sound: in any case, construction will take place, albeit not in the volume it did before. Of course, only large organizations can afford to take risks today. The best form of attracting capital for them is creating open joint-stock companies, because then the number of founders can be unlimited, and therefore there are more chances and opportunities to find investment.
However it should be understood that the procedure for opening such a company will be very complicated. And not only financially, but also in terms of handling all organizational issues.

Firstly, the newly created organization must be registered. The registration procedure for joint-stock companies is the same as for any other legal entity. However, after receiving the company's documents, its founders will face another no less, and perhaps more tedious formality: the registration of shares. This cannot be avoided: the law provides for rather severe penalties.

In order for the registration of shares to succeed, you must apply to the FSFR (to which the law delegated the registrar's powers) and submit the following set of documents:
1) an application in the prescribed form;
2) a notarized copy of the certificate of state registration of your company;
3) a decision of the competent body on the issuance of securities;
4) an extract from the minutes of the meeting at which the decision of the competent body was made (a copy certified in the usual manner);
5) two receipts for payment of the state fee. The first fee is paid for consideration of the application for registration. Its amount is 1 000 rubles. The second — in case of a positive decision on registration (from 10 000 to 100 000 rubles, depending on the method of share placement);
6) a certificate of full payment of the authorized capital;
7) notarized copies of the constituent documents;
8) a letter assigning an OKVED code;
9) other documents.

Secondly, you will need to obtain all the permits required to carry out construction activities. Obtaining a construction license was abolished in July 2008; however, this does not mean that any organization can now assume the role of developer. As often happens, by closing some doors the legislator inevitably opens others, where you and all your documents will be met by a new official. So, in order to open a construction company you will inevitably have to obtain a whole stack of various permits and approvals.
