What types of activities are subject to licensing in 2019? We provide a list.

It is not always possible to immediately start real activities. Some business areas require obtaining a special permit from the state - a license for a certain direction. The license confirms that the licensee has the necessary technical base and qualified personnel to carry out the chosen direction.

The main law, which indicates the licensed types of activities in 2019, is Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011. But besides this, there is also a list of laws, each of which regulates a separate licensed line of business.

In addition to these federal laws, which include a list of activities subject to licensing, there are by-laws at the level of government decrees. They contain licensing requirements without which a permit will not be issued.

Licensing certain types activities entrusted to authorized government bodies. You can find out which structure is issuing the permit you need from Government Decree No. 957 dated November 21, 2011. So, Rosobrnadzor issues an educational license, Roszdravnadzor for medical and pharmaceutical activities, and Rostransnadzor for transportation.

In 2019, work without such permission, if necessary, is punished in accordance with the articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

article 14.1 - a fine of 4 to 5 thousand rubles for the head and from 40 to 50 thousand rubles for the organization itself (with possible confiscation of products, production tools and raw materials);

Quite serious sanctions, so it is worthwhile to figure out whether in your case licensing of the activities of legal entities is required.

What activities do you need a permit for?

And now specifically - which areas are subject to licensing in 2019? In the table above, we have already indicated licensed activities, each of which is regulated by a separate law.

But the most big list for business areas for which a license is required, is given in Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011. There are 51 items on the list, but some of them can be combined into one direction:

OKVED codes for obtaining a license

When registering a company with limited liability the applicant indicates in the form P11001 what types of activities he will carry out according to the OKVED codes. In 2019, digital codes must comply with the All-Russian OKVED-2 Classifier.

Select at registration legal entity an unlimited number of OKVED codes is possible, and they can be added later. Is it necessary to obtain permission already upon the fact of indicating the licensed type of activity in applications P11001 (P13001, P14001) and the Unified State Register of Legal Entities?

In itself, the indication of OKVED codes that correspond to one of the licensed types of activity does not oblige you to obtain permission if you have not actually started this business.

However, there is some risk that the inspectors will try to fine the company if it is engaged in some similar direction. The problem is that the description of the licensed line of business and its characteristics in the OKVED Classifier do not always match.

For example, OKVED does not contain the term "confidential information" or "information protection", while in the law No. 99-FZ of 04.05.2011 there are as many as four licensed types of activities in this area. But in the Classifier there are completely different directions:

Development of a computer software (62.01)
Advisory activities and work in the field of computer technology (62.02)
Data processing activities, provision of information hosting services and related activities (63.11).

When carrying out real activities using these OKVED codes, you can either have or not have access to confidential information. In such ambiguous cases, only the licensing authorities will be able to answer the question of whether an LLC needs a license after analyzing the specific situation. It is desirable that the response received by the Office be given in writing, which to some extent will protect against a possible fine.

If we talk about types of activities that do not raise doubts about the need for their licensing, then it is impossible to name one OKVED code that fully characterizes the licensed line of business.

For example, pharmaceutical activities that require a license include the manufacture of medicines, their storage, transportation, holiday, as well as wholesale and retail medicines.

In OKVED-2 we will find the following codes corresponding to pharmaceutical activities:

21.20 - production of medicines and materials used for medical purposes;
46.46 - wholesale trade in pharmaceutical products;
47.73 - retail sale of medicines in specialized stores.

The same analysis and selection of codes should be carried out for other licensed areas. You can do this on your own or ask for help from legal registrars. In some cases, their advice on the selection of OKVED codes turns out to be

A license is a permit that allows a businessman to carry out a certain type of activity. In order to engage in such areas of business, it is necessary to fulfill special licensing requirements: for premises, equipment, capital, transport, and qualifications of specialists. From this article you will learn what types of activities are subject to licensing in Russia in 2019.

Laws licensing activities in Russia

The types of activities for which it is necessary to obtain a license are established by federal laws. In addition to the licensed types of activities provided for by Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011 "On Licensing Certain Types of Activities", there are other areas of business that are also subject to licensing. These types of activities in the Russian Federation are regulated by separate laws:

use of atomic energy - Law No. 170-FZ of November 21, 1995;
production and circulation of alcohol - Law No. 171-FZ of November 22, 1995;
activities of credit institutions - Law No. 395-1 of 02.12.1990;
protection of state secrets - Law No. 5485-1 dated 21.07.1993;
holding auctions - Law No. 325-FZ of November 21, 2011;
professional activity in the securities market - Law No. 39-FZ of April 22, 1996;
activities of NPFs - Law No. 75-FZ of 05/07/1998;
clearing activities - Law No. 7-FZ of February 7, 2011;
insurance activities - Law No. 4015-1 dated November 27, 1992;
space activities- Law No. 5663-1 of 20.08.1993.

As you can see, these are mainly areas that require serious financial investments, so small businesses rarely choose such areas of activity, with the exception of the sale of alcohol. But the list of licensed activities, specified in Law No. 99-FZ of 05/04/2011, includes many areas popular with beginner businessmen, so we suggest that you familiarize yourself with it in more detail.

Licensed activities in 2019

Types of activities in Russia for which it is necessary to obtain a license in accordance with Art. 12 of Law No. 99-FZ, we have collected in this list:

Licensed activities according to OKVED codes

Not always licensed activities in 2019 exactly correspond to OKVED codes, which must be indicated in the application for registration of individual entrepreneurs and LLCs. Some types of activities according to the OKVED classifier are almost completely repeated in the text of laws.

But if we take for example such a licensed area as pharmaceutical activity, then it will correspond to several OKVED codes at once. In law No. 61-FZ of 12.04. 2010, the following concept is given: “pharmaceutical activity is an activity that includes wholesale trade medicines, their storage, transportation and/or retail trade in medicines, their dispensing, storage, transportation, manufacture of medicines”.

OKVED codes allowed for pharmaceutical activities will be as follows:

46.46 - wholesale trade in pharmaceutical products;
47.73 - retail sale of medicines in specialized stores;
21.20 - production of medicines and materials used for medical purposes.

It is not always easy to select a list according to OKVED for a licensed line of business, so we advise you to get a free consultation from professional registrars.

How to get a license

Working without a license, if by law this activity must be licensed, is punishable by fines, confiscation of property, equipment and materials, and other sanctions. Only licensed organizations or individual entrepreneurs are entitled to engage in such activities. Licenses are issued by various government bodies, for example, Passenger Transportation- Rostransnadzor. We considered the procedure for applying for a license by a licensee in the article "".

Please note that there are some activities, licenses for which are issued only to legal entities. The possibility of refusal to issue a license due to organizational and legal status must be foreseen in advance. For example, an individual entrepreneur cannot sell alcohol other than beer, or engage in insurance or lending activities. If you want to engage in such a business, then you only need to register an LLC.

In our country, novice entrepreneurs have the right to freely choose the scope of their future activities. However, from the authorities state power Citizens acting in such a capacity are subject to a number of requirements. For the implementation of certain types of entrepreneurship, a special permit is required from the authorized bodies. This applies to those areas that are directly related to the risk to life and health of people. It is worth dwelling in more detail on what the licensing procedure is, for what types of activities it is mandatory and what is the procedure for obtaining this document.

Licensing of certain types of entrepreneurial activity

Separate types entrepreneurial activity on the territory of our country are subject to special licensing. This means that an entrepreneur has the right to carry out such activities only after obtaining a permit (license) issued by authorized authorities.

From the foregoing, we can conclude that licensing is the provision of licenses to business entities. However, this is not the only function licensing authorities.

The sale of alcohol is one of the activities subject to mandatory licensing.

Licensing is also associated with such actions:

re-issuance of documents confirming the availability of licenses;
suspension of licenses in case of violation by entrepreneurs of license requirements and conditions;
renewal or termination of licenses;
cancellation of licenses;
control of licensing authorities over compliance by entrepreneurs with relevant licensing requirements and conditions;

The procedure for obtaining an IP license

Obtaining a license for a certain type of entrepreneurial activity requires the applicant to meet certain requirements. Depending on the status of a legal entity or individual entrepreneur, as well as the type of its entrepreneurial activity, the rules for obtaining may vary.

In most licensing cases, the license applicant must meet the following specific requirement or set of requirements. For example:

own real estate, vehicles, equipment, etc.;
maintain an active working headquarters;
have professional education, work experience, etc.;
have capital.

Please note that some activities are prohibited for individual entrepreneurship. This applies to:

banking operations when creating a bank;
activities for the production and circulation of ethyl alcohol, alcoholic and alcohol-containing products;
works in the field of the use of atomic energy;
activities for the organization and conduct of gambling in bookmakers and sweepstakes.

If a citizen is registered as an individual entrepreneur and meets the requirements put forward, he can proceed to obtain a license. The process can be schematically represented as an instruction.

Application for a license

At the first stage, the entrepreneur writes an application with a request to provide him with a license for the type of activity he has chosen. Sample application for a license to retail sale alcohol.

In the application, the IP indicates data of this kind:

personal data of the entrepreneur (passport data);
contact information (phone number, email address);
main state registration number(OGRIP);
taxpayer identification number (TIN);
details of the document confirming the fact of payment of the state duty for granting a license;
type of activity indicating the work performed, services.

The application for a license must indicate the identification number of the taxpayer

Collection of documents

passports;
photocopies of the certificate of state registration of IP;
a notarized copy of the TIN or the original TIN and an uncertified copy;
license applications;
data on the qualifications of employees (if required).

It should be borne in mind that the list of documents can be expanded. Therefore, it is better to clarify in advance which documents are required in this case.

The certificate of state registration of an individual entrepreneur is one of the documents provided by a citizen to the licensing authority

Payment of state duty

Then the individual entrepreneur pays the state fee for consideration by the licensing authority of his application and attaches a receipt of payment to the package of documents. The amount of the fee will depend on specific type activities. As a rule, the state duty is charged in the amount of 7500 rubles, but in some cases the license is more expensive.

Submission of documents to the licensing authority

All documentation is accepted by the licensing authority according to the inventory, the copies of which are marked with the date of acceptance.

A copy of the inventory with a mark on the date of receipt is handed over to the applicant or transferred to him in the manner in which the documents were received

Within three working days, the licensing authority decides whether to consider the application or return it if the documents do not meet the requirements (for example, they are not provided in full). If a decision is made to return the application, the applicant will be notified of the need to correct violations within 30 days.

Notification of the need to eliminate the identified violations is sent to the entrepreneur by registered mail or in the form of an electronic document.

Receipt of the finished document

After the application for a license is accepted, a decision is made to issue a license within 45 working days. The final decision is issued by order of the licensing authority. The license will be issued within 3 working days after its signing and registration.

The decision to issue the required document is made only if the licensee meets all the requirements put forward.

In case of refusal, the entrepreneur has the right to appeal such a decision in court.

It should be borne in mind that a license for the right to conduct certain activities is issued to a specific individual entrepreneur. The law does not provide for the right to transfer it to another person.

In case of loss of the form, the businessman has the right to apply to the local administrative authority with a request for a duplicate.

Comprehensive business license agreement: concept, meaning, legal features

A complex business agreement (franchising) is the provision by one party (the company selling its franchise) to the other party (the franchise buyer) of a set of rights.

Such rights are granted for a fee. They include the right to use the trade name of the copyright holder, trade secrets, as well as other intellectual property objects (trademark, service mark, etc.). The franchise agreement must also be registered. It is registered in the same body where the owner of exclusive rights is registered.

The right holder of a complex of exclusive rights is obliged:

ensure the transfer to the user of the entire range of exclusive rights under the contract, instruct the user on the implementation of rights, provide other information necessary for the implementation of these rights;
ensure registration of the franchise agreement;
provide the user with ongoing assistance in the use of the exclusive rights transferred under the contract, including assistance in training and advanced training of personnel;
control the quality of goods produced, work performed and services provided by the user on the basis of a franchise agreement.

The user of such rights is obliged:

use the complex of exclusive rights received by him in strict accordance with the terms of the contract;
pay the right holder the remuneration stipulated by the contract;
to produce goods, perform work, provide services of the same reliability and similar quality as everything is done directly by the copyright holder;
provide buyers (customers) with all the same services that would be expected directly from the right holder;
not to allow the transfer of the received objects of exclusive rights to other persons without the consent of the copyright holder.

The contract in question is terminated as a result of the expiration of its validity period. Possibly also early termination by mutual agreement of the parties.

Integrated business license terminated unilaterally in the following cases:

non-fulfillment by one of the parties of the terms of the contract;
termination of the rights belonging to the right holder to the registered name, trademark, etc.;
changes in the company name and other exclusive rights belonging to the copyright holder (in this case, the user's unilateral refusal to execute the contract applies);
conclusion of an agreement without specifying a period (termination of the agreement in such a situation may follow from the counterparty at any time);
non-fulfillment by the right holder of his obligations to update technologies, train personnel, etc.;
non-compliance with the rules for the preservation of trade secrets, the requirements for the protection of the intellectual property of the copyright holder;
untimely payment of remuneration by the user;
declaring the copyright holder or user bankrupt.

Validity of the license in time and territory

In most cases, a license is issued for an unlimited period, i.e., it is an indefinite document. However, in some cases, there is a restriction on the validity of licenses.

Examples of validity limits by type of activity:

on the audit activity- 5 years;
for retail alcoholic products- from 1 to 5 years;
for work with state secrets - up to 5 years at the request of the applicant;
for the provision of communication services - from 3 to 25 years;
for passenger transportation within the Russian Federation - 5 years (at the first application);
to carry and store weapons - 5 years.

The validity of the license upon its expiration may be extended at the request of the entrepreneur.

An individual entrepreneur has the right to start carrying out his activities from the next day after the approval of the issuance of a license for him. Entrepreneurial activity can be carried out throughout Russia, regardless of the place of its issue, as well as in places of jurisdiction of the Russian Federation.

It should be borne in mind that the activities covered by licensing are checked by regulatory authorities.

Depending on the type of licenses state structures conduct IP checks with varying intensity. Checks are based on the appeal of individuals or legal entities on the facts of possible violations in the work of a businessman. Based on the materials of the audit, an appropriate act is drawn up.

If within 1 calendar year the IP receives more than two negative reviews according to the results of the check, the local administrative body has the right to cancel the issued license.

The license is suspended by the licensing authority in the following cases:

violation of licensing requirements and conditions that create a direct threat to the life or health of citizens;
non-compliance by the entrepreneur with the instructions of the licensing authority to eliminate the identified violations;
failure to submit an application for reissuing a license or issuing a duplicate license to replace the lost one within the prescribed period.

Information on the suspension of a license shall be entered in the register of licenses.

The license is renewed after the entrepreneur fulfills all the instructions by decision of the licensing authority from the day:

following the day of expiration of the term for the execution of the newly issued order;
following the day of signing the act of verification, establishing the fact of early execution of the newly issued order.

Information about the renewal of a license is also entered in the register of licenses. If the established requirements have not been met, the authorized body makes a decision to cancel the license.

Responsibility for carrying out activities without a license

For carrying out activities without a license, the legislation provides for various types of liability:

penalties (for citizens in the amount of two thousand to two thousand five hundred rubles);
confiscation of illegally obtained income;
deprivation of the right to engage in certain activities;
participation in public works for a period of 180 to 240 hours;
arrest for a period of 4 to 6 months;
imprisonment for up to 3 years.

Entrepreneurs for lack of licenses may be subject not only to administrative liability, but also to criminal

Tax implications should also be taken into account. The application of tax benefits is impossible if there is no license to conduct the type of activity subject to licensing.

If we talk about liability, an example is the judicial act of August 1, 2006 in case No. 3-2/06, according to which the Arkhangelsk regional public organization "Spiritual Revival of Northerners" was subject to liquidation. This organization, using methods of psychological and psychotherapeutic influence during lectures and meditations, carried out medical activities without having an appropriate license. Thus, Art. 17 of the Federal Law "On Licensing Certain Types of Activities". Conducting mass meditations for the purpose of physical and spiritual recovery is a violation of Part 6 of Art. 57 "Fundamentals of the legislation of the Russian Federation on the protection of the health of citizens", which prohibits mass healing sessions. These violations of the law are gross, which, in accordance with Art. 44 of the Federal Law "On public associations" and paragraph 2 of part 2 of Art. 61 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation serve as the basis for the liquidation of the organization.

The licensing procedure combines a set of actions related to the provision, suspension, renewal, cancellation of licenses and re-issuance of documents confirming their existence. This is a type of state control aimed at protecting the rights and interests of citizens, their health and morality, as well as national security. For the implementation of certain types of entrepreneurship, obtaining a permit is considered mandatory, while the absence of a license leads to administrative and criminal liability.

In this article, we will tell you what types of activities you need to obtain a license for in 2019, and what threatens to work without such a permit, if it is required by law.

A license is a permission of authorized state bodies to carry out certain types of activities.

Features of activities requiring a license

Business lines subject to licensing were not chosen by chance.

Among the licensed areas of business, there are those that are associated with large financial flows (banks, credit organizations, the securities market).

Far from all licensed activities are available to individual entrepreneurs. Why this is so, the laws do not explain, but it is known that the state treats individual entrepreneurs as business babies. For entrepreneurs, fines are many times lower, and there are more tax benefits. But, for example, IP will not be given licenses for the production and sale of strong alcohol. The maximum that is allowed to be sold from alcohol is.

About what business the individual entrepreneur will be engaged in, the applicant reports when registering with tax office. To designate specific types of activities, numerical codes according to OKVED are used ( All-Russian classifier types of economic activity).

It is impossible to compare the list by OKVED codes with the types of activities subject to licensing in Russia. The fact is that licensed areas are wider than a specific OKVED code.

How to determine if OKVED is subject to licensing

For example, if you select educational activity, then the following codes from OKVED-2 will correspond to it:

85.11: Pre-school education
85.12: Primary general education
85.13: Basic general education
85.14: Secondary general education
85.21: Vocational secondary education
85.22: Higher education
85.23: Training of highly qualified personnel
85.30: Vocational training
85.41: Additional education for children and adults
85.42: Additional vocational education

Moreover, these are only four-digit codes, and if you take into account five-digit and six-digit codes, there will be even more of them. And if we take the pharmaceutical activity, then this concept includes the sale of drugs, their storage, and the manufacture of prescription drugs.

In itself, the indication in the form R21001 of the OKVED codes corresponding to the licensed direction does not oblige to obtain a license. Only if the entrepreneur starts real activity, you must contact the licensing authority in advance.

However, some inspectors, and sometimes banks, are interested in whether you have a license, if the extract from the USRIP contains the relevant OKVED codes. If you are not going to work under a license yet, then for your own peace of mind it is not at all necessary to enter these codes in advance even when registering an IP. Later they can always be served.

How to get an IP license

Licensing of certain types of activities is entrusted to authorized state bodies. You can find out which agency you need to apply for a license from Government Decree of November 21, 2011 No. 957.

Information on the most popular license areas for individual entrepreneurs is given in the table.

Each authorized body has its own official website, where you can find contacts of regional divisions and all necessary information to obtain a license.

If as an individual entrepreneur you plan to engage only in licensed activities, then first study the licensing requirements. For example, in order to obtain a permit for the carriage of passengers by road, you must have:

Vehicles equipped with GLONASS equipment;
Premises and equipment for maintenance and repair of vehicles;
Drivers with the necessary qualifications, work experience, who have passed a medical examination;
A specialist for a pre-trip medical examination of drivers or an agreement concluded with a medical organization for its conduct, etc.

Good day, dear friends! Today I want to tell you about licensed activities. Let's first consider what are licensed activities?

Licensed activities - types of activities, the implementation of which may entail damage to the rights, legitimate interests, health of citizens, defense and security of the state, cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation and the regulation of which cannot be carried out by other methods than licensing.

Engaging in a licensed type of activity without a license, if this act caused major damage or derived major benefits, is punishable under criminal procedure. Therefore, in order not to have problems with the law and to earn the trust of partners, customers, as well as to successfully participate in competitive bidding, the first priority in any activity is the acquisition of a license.

License- special document unified form, which confirms the right to carry out a specific type of activity for which a license is required. The license is issued by a special body on paper or, in certain cases, in in electronic format.
