Search for a company by name. Legal address of the company

Let's assume you have to deal with a legal entity registered in the Russian Federation. But you only know its name and you don’t have the money to use paid services or order professional competitive intelligence.

What can you find out about a company on the Internet for free, instantly and legally?

1. General information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities

What you can find: date of creation of the company, registration address, full name of the founders and general director, which department of the Federal Tax Service and the Pension Fund the company is attached to, types of activities, history of changes to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (changes in the charter, appointment of general directors, etc.).

You can search for companies and individual entrepreneurs both by OGRN/TIN and by name/full name. Please note that to get all the data you need to download the PDF from the link. In addition to the first paragraph of the article, be sure to apply the second.

2. Have documents to change information been submitted to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities?

What you can find: information about legal entities that are in the process of registering/making changes to the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
In short: we check whether any information from the database mentioned in paragraph `1 will change in the near future.

Usage notes: similar to the previous paragraph.

3. Is the legal address reliable?

What you can check: Is the company address used for mass registration of legal entities?

4. Court cases in which the company name is mentioned

What you can find: sea interesting details: tax evasion, wage arrears, industrial safety violations, etc. This item is required to be completed before the interview.

Analogues:

5. Debts to bailiffs

What you can find: whether the company has overdue payments to the Pension Fund, unpaid taxes or debts to employees/partners that are already being collected with the help of bailiffs.

14. Information about the company’s website

If it is necessary to find out a number of information about a company or entrepreneur, much will depend on the available information: the searcher may only know the name (possibly incomplete), or TIN, or telephone number.

However, even with very limited initial data, it is possible to obtain information about the organization of interest.

In what cases is it necessary to search for various details of an organization?

When carrying out business activities, a legal entity, and in some cases an ordinary citizen, may need information about a particular organization. Perhaps you have previously collaborated with this organization, or have heard about its activities, and before proposing contracts or cooperation, you would like to learn more about the potential counterparty.

The more initial data the seeker has, the easier it is to obtain the necessary information, both through special resources on the Internet and in other ways.

Most often, the search for various details carried out for verification:

• whether the organization operates;
• what kind of activity it carries out (according to the codes specified during registration);
• who is the manager (executive body);
• information about the founders and.

Finding such information is not difficult, but you must have at least a minimum of information about the company (for example, its name or tax identification number).

Various methods of searching for a name by TIN

If only the TIN (individual taxpayer number) is known, the easiest way is to check and search additional information through the tax service website (egrul.nalog.ru).

The Federal Tax Service of Russia maintains a unified register of legal entities (as well as a register individual entrepreneurs), information of which is publicly available.

To obtain information, having only a TIN number on the website of the Federal Tax Service, you must complete series of actions:

• check “By INN/OGRN”;
• dial TIN number;

• click "Find".

As a result of the search, an electronic extract appears with a number of information about the organization. It can also be downloaded from PDF file and print.

In addition to the tax authorities’ website, you can try to search for information in the following ways:

• On sites that provide information about organizations (by entering a query like “TIN__________ find information.” It should be remembered that such sites provide only part of the information for free, and ask for payment for extended data.
• In a search engine. By entering a request similar to the one described above, with a high degree of probability you can obtain a number of information about the company of interest.
• Without resorting to the Internet, you can make a request to the Federal Tax Service (by paying the fee and indicating the Taxpayer Identification Number). In this case, the information will be provided in certified form.

Since any company has ever posted information about itself on the Internet, it is not difficult to find information about it if you have at least a TIN number. However, it is better to use official information from state registers.

Various methods of searching for TIN of an organization by name

Similar to searching by TIN number, an organization is searched by its name.

On website of the Federal Tax Service of Russia You can get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities if:

• in the appropriate section, make a mark in the circle “By legal name.” faces";
• enter the captcha and click “Find”.

You can also use other methods:

• searching on the Internet (paid/free, the data obtained is unofficial);
• request to the tax office for the name of the company.

If the name is quite common, you will have to make several extracts, and by analyzing their content (by type of activity, place of registration, founder, etc.), select the information you are looking for.

Search for other details

To verify the reliability of an organization, to draw a conclusion about its stability and type of activity, you need to study all the information that can be obtained by all available means. The most accessible of them is to download an extract from the tax office website by the name of the organization.

Using information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities The following data becomes known:

• (location specified when registering the company). Thus, a conclusion is made about registration at the home address or the address of non-residential (office) real estate. On the website of the Federal Tax Service you can check whether the specified address is a place (the so-called “black list”).
• - reason code for registration. The first two digits indicate the subject of the Russian Federation where the company is located, the next two indicate the number of the tax office that registered it. Without a checkpoint it is impossible to participate in ensuring government needs.
• - the main registration number assigned to the legal entity upon its registration. OGRN and TIN are unique numbers that identify an organization as a subject of legal relations.
• OKVED codes (types of activities chosen by the company during registration).
• Size authorized capital(for LLC and JSC).
• Numbers and dates of registration in extra-budgetary funds (Pension, social insurance).
• A number of other information.

If the initial data for searching for an organization There is only a telephone number, you can search using several methods:

• through the DublGis program (can be installed for free, follow the program prompts);
• through the information desk “09” (if the phone number is in “landline format”);
• according to directories such as “Yellow Pages”, selecting the section corresponding to the type of activity of the company;
• through Internet search engines.

It must be said that searching by phone number is quite labor-intensive, since the unified information system telephone numbers does not exist in virtually any region of our country.

How to find an organization if there is little information

In most cases, it is not difficult to find information about a company. Significant time will have to be spent on searching only if there is little information about it or it is incomplete.

For example, only the short name or incomplete name of the company is known.

• enter data on the website egrul.nalog.ru and download all statements upon request;
• if the region of registration is known, go to the corresponding website of the Federal Tax Service and search on it;
• In the search engine, enter all available information (name, type of activity, region or other available information) and, based on the result obtained, return to the search on the Federal Tax Service Inspectorate website.

It is certainly important to check a possible partner before starting joint activities at least according to several criteria. The current level of information development of society and publicly accessible registers of organizations and entrepreneurs, officially maintained in our country, make it possible to do this, having, to begin with, even the most meager information.

How to obtain a free extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and find out information about the organization is shown in the following video:

What is OGRN? How and where can you check a company according to its OGRN? What can you learn about a legal entity with its help?

Below we will look at all these questions in order.

What is OGRN?

In order to identify a person, he is assigned an identification code, and OGRN is used to identify legal entities.

The main state registration number (hereinafter referred to as OGRN) is the number that is assigned to companies upon creation legal entity.

This identification is assigned only to legal entities to control the payment of taxes. The number is mandatory for all enterprises of any form of ownership. A code is issued by the tax office when registering a company, firm or enterprise.

OGRN has thirteen digits, each of which has its own characteristics. This code must be displayed on the company's seals and stamps.

Explanation of the numbers in the registration number:

1. The first character indicates which state number the entry belongs to.
   If the first number in the code is “1” or “5”, then this code refers to the main registration number.

   If the first number is “2”, it means that the entry refers to a different registration number.
   The number “3” indicates that the code is assigned to an individual entrepreneur.

2. The second and third characters of the code indicate the year the company was entered into the register: the last two digits of the year.
   Example: if the year the company was entered into the register is 2003, then the second digit in the code will be “0”, and the third will be “3”.
3. The fourth and fifth digits in the code are the serial number of the subject of the Russian Federation.
   According to Article 65 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, each republic and region of the state is assigned its own code, which allows the republic to be identified in various codes and names.

   It is this two-digit code that is reflected by the fourth and fifth digits of the registration number.

4. The sixth and seventh digits are the designations of the tax office in which the code was assigned to the legal entity.
5. The eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth digits are the entry number in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities (hereinafter referred to as the Unified State Register of Legal Entities).
6. The thirteenth digit is the check number.

All code numbers are always in the same order and mean the same thing for all PSRNs.

How to find out the legal address of a company according to OGRN is described in the video.

• using these thirteen numbers you can find out the location of the company;

Do you want to know your debt for transport tax, property and land tax?

First of all, you need to make sure that the company is registered in the prescribed manner and is operating. This can be done in different ways.

Check TIN

Make sure that the supplier's TIN is not a random set of numbers, but a real digital code that belongs to the company offering the transaction.

It is very easy to check this, since the Taxpayer Identification Number has its own algorithm, and a fake number most likely will not correspond to it. You can recognize an error in the TIN in any program for preparing information on the income of individuals by entering the number in the “Employer TIN” field. If the number does not satisfy the algorithm, an error message will appear.

At the same time, you can establish the authenticity of the TIN and its affiliation with a particular company on the Federal Tax Service website or using the counterparty verification service.

Request a copy of the state registration certificate (or entry sheet in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities)

The state registration certificate confirms that the counterparty exists as a legal entity and is registered as a taxpayer. From January 1, 2017, when registering legal entities and individual entrepreneurs, instead of a state registration certificate, an entry sheet of the required register is issued - the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs. Thus, the entry sheet is a document confirming the fact of making an entry in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities or the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs.

In accordance with clause 13 of the Rules for maintaining the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of a legal entity. In accordance with clause 19 of the Rules for maintaining the Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs, the entry sheet of the state register is included in the registration file of an individual entrepreneur.

Get an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities/Unified State Register of Individual Entrepreneurs

A fresh extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities confirms that the counterparty is registered and has not been deregistered at the time of its receipt. In addition, according to extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities You can check the details specified by counterparties in contracts and other documents.

An extract can be requested directly from a potential partner or using the Federal Tax Service service.

The balance sheet allows you to draw several important conclusions about the company:

• Firstly, it confirms that the company submits reports.
• Secondly, it allows you to establish whether the organization conducted economic activities.
• Thirdly, from accounting records you can learn about the “portfolio” of funds that the company has. If a company has practically zero asset value, significant debt obligations and an authorized capital of 10,000 rubles, this is a reason to think about whether it is worth giving such a company, for example, a trade loan. The company's turnover that is too low compared to the amount of the proposed transaction may also indicate that the supplier is hiding part of the income. In this case, it is better to refuse the deal.

Based on financial reporting data, it is easy to create a financial analysis that will show the dynamics of the company’s activities and allow you to assess its financial stability. In the service on the company card you can find links to financial statements and mini-financial analysis, which will allow you to immediately see key points in accounting forms without the need to study a large and complex financial report by company.

Information about legal entities that have tax arrears and/or have not submitted tax reports for more than a year can also be obtained on the Federal Tax Service website.

Additional Analytics

It is necessary to verify the integrity of the counterparty and collect evidence that you have carried out the necessary checks. Why is this important? In the event of litigation, this will help confirm that your company has demonstrated .

From the point of view of the tax authorities (), a company has not exercised due diligence if it does not have:

• personal contacts of management in the counterparty company when discussing delivery terms and when signing contracts;
• documentary confirmation of the authority of the head of the counterparty company, copies of his identity document;
• information about the actual location of the counterparty, as well as the location of warehouse, production, and retail space;
• information on the method of obtaining information about the counterparty (advertising, recommendations of partners, official website, etc.);
• information on the state registration of the counterparty in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities;
• information about whether the counterparty has the necessary license (if the transaction is concluded within the framework of a licensed activity), a certificate of admission to a certain type of work issued by a self-regulatory organization;
• information about other market participants of similar goods, works, services, including those who offer lower prices.

Company information

Bulk registration address

A mass address is one of the signs of fly-by-night companies. At the end of 2017, the Ministry of Finance issued a warning that if there is confirmed information about the unreliability of the information submitted about the address of a legal entity, the registration authority has the right to refuse registration. According to the document, the inclusion of information about the mass registration address is the basis for checking the accuracy of the data in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Thus, by registering companies at a mass address, a legal entity or individual entrepreneur risks being denied registration.

But tightening control over mass addresses applies not only to new businesses, but also to already registered companies: the tax office sends letters to companies that need to provide reliable information about their address to the registration authority. It will not be possible to ignore the notification from the tax authorities: if the address is not confirmed, the submitted documents do not correspond to reliability, then an entry about incorrect information about the address is made in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, which may lead to the exclusion of the organization from the register, according to. Concluding agreements with counterparties registered at mass addresses is all the more dangerous.

How to check the “mass” of an address? Firstly, a service is available on the Federal Tax Service website that checks the address entered by the user with a list of mass addresses. Secondly, it shows which companies are registered at the same address as the counterparty or service the user is interested in. In some cases, such “neighborhood,” even if we are not talking about mass registration, may turn out to be significant.

Actual location of the counterparty

The discrepancy between the actual and legal addresses in itself does not characterize the counterparty in any way. According to the Federal Tax Service, almost 80% of Russian companies are not located at the legal address specified during registration. But the tax office recommends checking the actual location of the counterparty along with other data.

Such information can be obtained by visiting the legal or actual address of the intended partner. This will allow you not only to clarify whether the counterparty’s office is actually located there, but also to look at the premises, production or retail space, and talk with employees and neighbors in the office building. Such a visit can be especially productive if it is made incognito, under the guise of a buyer or potential partner.

In Contour.Focus, you can view a panorama of buildings and surrounding areas for a specified legal entity in one click. This option is called .

Enforceability of the terms of the contract for the counterparty

There must be clear evidence that the counterparty has real opportunity fulfill the terms of the contract. First of all, the time spent on delivery or production of goods, performance of work or provision of services is taken into account.

Violations of tax laws

The taxpayer has the right to request from the tax authorities information about the payment of taxes by counterparties. It does not matter whether the inspection responds to the company’s request. The Code does not establish the obligation of tax authorities to provide taxpayers, upon their requests, with information about the fulfillment by counterparties of the obligations provided for by the legislation on taxes and fees, or about their violations of the law ().

As arbitration practice shows, the company’s due diligence is evidenced by the very fact of contacting the tax office with a request to assist in verifying the integrity of counterparties.

In order for the fact of contacting the inspectorate to be recorded, the request should be sent by registered mail with acknowledgment of delivery (you will have one copy of the inventory and the returned notification) or submit the request in person to the tax office (in this case, you will have a copy of the request with a mark of acceptance). .

Arbitration cases

“Black list” on the Federal Tax Service website

We are talking about a register of disqualified persons. Disqualification is an administrative penalty that consists of depriving an individual of certain rights, in particular, the right to occupy leadership positions in executive body management of a legal entity, join the board of directors (supervisory board), carry out entrepreneurial activities to manage the legal entity.

The basis for disqualification may be deliberate or fictitious bankruptcy, concealment of property or property obligations, falsification of accounting and other accounting documents, etc.

To avoid cooperation with companies whose head has been disqualified, it is enough to check a potential partner through a special service on the Federal Tax Service website. The search is carried out by the name of the legal entity and OGRN.

By the end of 2018, the Federal Tax Service launched the “Transparent Business” service in test mode, which can be used to collect comprehensive information about the taxpayer - organization and exercise due diligence.

If you enter information about the TIN, OGRN or company name into the search, the following information will appear:

• date of state registration and main state registration number of the legal entity, method of formation of the legal entity and name of the registering authority;
• information about the organization’s registration with the tax authority;
• state of the legal entity;
• address of the legal entity and information about the address of mass registration;
• OKVED;
• size of the authorized capital;
• inaccurate information about the head of the company, management of the activities of many other legal entities;
• category of small and medium-sized enterprise.

You should pay attention to the triangle sign, which may appear in the section as a warning. This means that the information requires special attention.

Powers of the person signing documents

When checking counterparties, the Ministry of Finance recommends obtaining documentary evidence of the authority of the manager (his representative). If the documents are signed by a company representative, you must obtain a power of attorney or other document from the counterparty authorizing a person to sign documents on behalf of the company.

The Ministry of Finance also recommends that taxpayers request identification documents from the head of the counterparty company. This will confirm that the documents are signed by the person who has the authority to do so. In addition, there may be cases when the counterparty is registered on a lost or stolen passport. You can find out this on the FMS website.

Transaction information

Confirmation of personal contacts when concluding a transaction

A lack of personal contact when concluding a transaction may indicate that the taxpayer did not exercise due diligence. The collected data on the circumstances of concluding an agreement with the counterparty (who participated in the negotiations, who sold the goods, etc.) will help prove the opposite.

Verification of transaction documents

This procedure allows you to avoid not only claims from tax authorities, but also possible legal disputes.

• check the address indicated in the counterparty’s documents, in particular in invoices;
• make sure that the supplier’s documents do not contain logical contradictions and comply with the Tax Code of the Russian Federation and other laws;
• compare employee signatures on documents in order to eliminate the situation when different signatures are placed on behalf of one person (it is better to exclude such documents so that the Federal Tax Service does not declare them fictitious).

The given list of “filters” is incomplete. There are other ways to exercise caution in choosing a counterparty and obtain the most complete information about him.
