About the service
More than just registering a CNPJ
Registering a CNPJ is simple. Forming the right company with the correct tax structure, the proper business code for the activity, and a corporate structure that will serve the business for years — that requires expertise.
Most tax problems we see in companies 3, 5, or 10 years old originate at the moment of incorporation: wrong business code, inadequate tax regime, poorly structured profit distribution, or partnership agreements with gaps that lead to partner disputes. Fixing this later is costly.
At Pró-Contaty, company formation is a consultative process — not just operational. Before filing any document, we analyze the business, simulate tax scenarios, and deliver a structure designed for growth.
"A wrong tax regime choice at incorporation can mean tens of thousands in overpaid taxes before the first revision. We do this analysis before the first document is filed."
Ideal profile
Who is this service for?
We serve everyone from the entrepreneur opening their first business to the executive who needs to restructure an existing company:
- You are starting a business and want to begin with the correct tax structure
- You have a MEI or existing company and need to change your corporate structure due to growth
- You do not know which business code to use and are worried about choosing incorrectly and overpaying taxes
- You need an agile process to avoid wasting time on bureaucracy
- You want an accounting partner from the start — not just a filing agent to register the CNPJ
- You are planning a company with partners and need a well-structured partnership agreement
What's included
Full service scope
We handle every step, from initial analysis to the first month of operations:
Correct business code selection
The business code defines which taxes apply to your company and whether it can join Simples Nacional. A wrong choice at incorporation can result in years of overpaying — or issues with the tax authorities. We evaluate the business activities and recommend the most advantageous classification.
Optimal tax regime selection
Simples Nacional, Lucro Presumido, or Lucro Real: the choice at incorporation directly impacts the tax burden in the early years. We simulate scenarios based on the activity, projected revenue, and business margin before opening the CNPJ.
Incorporation and registration
Drafting the articles of association or bylaws, registration with the Board of Trade, CNPJ with the Federal Revenue Service, state registration (when required), and municipal registration. We follow every step and resolve pending issues without letting the process stall.
Operating license and permits
Guidance for obtaining the operating license from São Paulo City Hall, plus sanitary, environmental, and sector-specific permits when applicable. We identify requirements for the address and activity in advance to avoid surprises.
Business bank account and banking structure
Support in choosing and opening a business bank account, setting up accounts payable and receivable, and integrating with the accounting system. The company starts with the right financial structure from day one.
Tax planning from the start
We do not wait for the company to grow before thinking about taxation. From day one, we define the most efficient structure for partner compensation, pro-labore, profit distribution, and taking advantage of the selected tax regime.
The process
How it works
Briefing meeting and analysis
We understand the business model, activities to be carried out, projected revenue, partnership structure, and long-term goals. Based on this, we simulate tax scenarios and define the ideal structure before any filing.
Incorporation and registrations
We draft the articles of association or bylaws, file the registration with the Board of Trade, obtain the CNPJ, municipal and state registrations where applicable, and follow up on the operating license issuance with São Paulo City Hall.
Accounting setup and start of operations
We configure the company in the accounting system, provide guidance on invoice issuance, structure the partner compensation model, and deliver an operations briefing so the business starts with the correct structure from day one.
