ProSoluta Contabilidade Estratégica

Paralegal / Legalization

Company formation, amendments, and closure, from articles of incorporation to business license.

Company incorporation*
We incorporate all types of companies, from the articles of association to the alvará de funcionamento (operating license) issued by the desired municipality in Paraíba, as well as in other states.

Monitoring of tax clearance certificates 
We monitor the company's tax status with the Receita Federal (Brazil's Federal Revenue Service), the municipal and state tax authorities, the labor authorities and the FGTS (Brazil's Severance Indemnity Fund), so that, whenever necessary, the company can obtain its clearance certificate from the bodies listed above.

Release of seized goods 
When goods being shipped or received are seized at a border tax checkpoint, we are ready to assess the reason the truck was held so that it can be released promptly. 

Support during tax inspections 
When your organization is under inspection, we provide all the support needed, such as preparing the defense, assisting with contacts with the inspectors, submitting documentation and other advisory services.

Debt regularization through installment plans 
We follow tax developments that benefit business owners in paying outstanding debts, and we study the legislation and for whom it is advantageous. We carry out a full survey of outstanding debts, explain to the business owner and their finance team how the debts will be paid through the installment plan, handle enrollment in the debt installment program, send the monthly DARFs (federal tax payment slips) and monitor payments. 

Contractual amendments*
Changes of partners, address, share capital and other changes to the entity's articles of association with all relevant bodies.

Renewal of operating licenses with Paraíba municipalities
In most municipalities, such as Cabedelo, Alhandra, Caaporã and Campina Grande/PB in Paraíba, the operating license (alvará) must be renewed in order to provide services in the municipality; we assist with and periodically monitor renewal requirements in these cities. 
Note: In all municipalities, the alvará must also be renewed in the event of contractual amendments.

Construction project regularization 
We register projects with the CNO - Cadastro Nacional de Obras (National Construction Registry), and when the construction is completed, the registration must be regularized.

Registration of documents with the competent authorities 
Filing of important documents with the Junta Comercial (State Commercial Registry) and other appropriate bodies.
It is important to note that companies based outside Paraíba with branches in Paraíba municipalities must report to the Junta/PB the amendments they make in every state where they have a branch, as a document of interest. 

Company dissolution 
Closing the registrations of companies that have ceased their activities. Cancellation of the CNPJ (national corporate taxpayer ID) and of the Municipal/State tax registrations.

*Filings with the Junta Comercial must follow a specific standard, in accordance with IN DREI No. 03/2013 (a normative instruction of Brazil's federal business registration department), as shown in this template: click here to view it.
