Starting a business is no easy feat. It requires dedication, sacrifices, and overcoming challenges. Here are some tried and true procedures for starting your own business.
Essential procedures to set up your company
When you start your business, you should follow some procedures. Some will depend on the type of activity you are going to start, and others will only be necessary if you hire workers. Let’s see below the different procedures that you will have to take into account.
General procedures
Regardless of your sector of activity or the type of company you want to start up, you should or should do a series of procedures. They are the following:

Registration in the Special Regime for Self-Employed Workers (RETA)
Unless you do not have a very high social capital, it is normal for you to join the special regime of self-employed workers, either because you work as an independent professional or because together with your partners, you want to form a type of society that fits this regime (like an SL).
Registration of partners and administrators in social security schemes
Despite the above, depending on the type of company you establish and the participation in the social capital of each partner, you can demand the registration of some of them in another type of Social Security system.
Obtaining and legalizing the guestbook
The guestbook is the one that registers and records the actions of the labor inspection. The guestbook can be paper or electronic. The employers will keep these books available to the Labor Inspectorate for a minimum period of five years from the last stage.
Legalization of the book of minutes, of the register of partners, of the registry book of registered shares, and the record book of contracts between the sole shareholder and the company
The current legislation requires commercial companies to keep some registry books (of minutes, partners, or shares) and make their presentations annually in the Provincial Commercial Register.
Legalization of the daily book and the book of inventories and annual accounts
All businessmen who keep their accounts according to the provisions of the Commercial Code must prepare the following accounting documents: a daily book and a book of inventories and annual accounts.
Obtaining an electronic certificate
The electronic certificate makes it possible to sign electronic documents and unequivocally identify the owner of the signature. We can present the application at the National Currency and Stamp Factory.

Registration in official bodies and registers
Depending on the activity carried out, the start of the activity must be communicated with the different administrations, authorities, and records that correspond to us.
Procedures for hiring workers
In case beyond the partners, we want to hire workers in our company. We must follow the following additional procedures.
