Step 1. Finding Participants (Drops):
- You need a person over 25 with a Russian passport. Such individuals are easy to find and are often looking for low-risk, quick money. The primary risks here are taxes (which can be managed with a good accountant) and the original owner of the funds.
Step 2. Initial Investments:
- Setting up a company typically costs around 500-600 USD. This includes about 300-400 USD for a legal address and 100-200 USD for opening a current account (if the drop is inexperienced with bank interactions). Registration companies can help with this process, and they offer legal services for setting up an LLC.
Step 3. Choosing Business Activities and Taxation.
- Select fields like construction, wholesale of building materials, cargo transportation, or advertising. The most profitable areas are construction and wholesale. Use the OSNO (main) taxation system.
Step 4. Selecting a Bank Account:
- Raiffeisen is recommended for its favorable terms. You can open an account in two ways:
- In Person: Visit the bank yourself, dressed professionally, and be prepared to answer questions about the business.
- Through a Service: Use groups on Telegram to find a service that will open the account for 150-250 USD. We also provide open ups for small fees. Payment is made upon account opening.
Before opening the account, obtain a SIM card from Tele2, set up a code word, and ensure the SIM has a prohibition on proxy services.
Step 5. Preparing for Sale:
- With all documents, SIM card, and client bank details, set up email notifications for incoming funds. Store all relevant codes and documents securely.
Step 6. Selling the Company:
- Advertise the sale in relevant groups, mentioning details like the location, type of account, and price (600-800 USD). Resellers are common and are a positive sign of demand. The director (drop) can be presented as unavailable or involved in the sale directly. Ensure you provide all documents and access details to the buyer.
Step 7. Accessing Funds:
- Monitor your email for notifications of incoming funds. If needed, call the bank hotline to check balances using your TIN and code words. If the SIM is disabled, block it immediately and contact Raiffeisen to block the token. Obtain a new token and use it to access and transfer funds. Consult with an accountant on the best way to withdraw or transfer funds.
Step 8. Consequences:
- Taxes: LLCs are often automatically dissolved by tax authorities every few years, minimizing tax risks.
- Owner Risk: The original fund owner might seek legal action but is unlikely to recover their money if the director is not easily traceable. If caught, the drop can claim ignorance and be minimally penalized.
- Legality: The transactions are technically legal as the funds were transferred to your company and approved by the bank. It’s akin to a wallet transfer.
This brief guide covers the essentials, but specific details can vary by bank. The entire process takes about 15-30 days.
More experienced individuals use companies with existing turnover and sometimes switch directors to maintain control and avoid detection.
For creating a legitimate company with a clean reputation, establish a business with a full staff, including a director, chief accountant, and manager. This setup can better withstand audits and scrutiny compared to a basic shell company.
Creating a Legitimate Business:
- Director: Handles contracts, bank interactions, and provides necessary documents.
- Chief Accountant: Manages reports, tax planning, and responses to inquiries.
- Manager: Manages documentation, communication with clients, and other administrative tasks.
Finding participants for these activities is straightforward, often through job postings or advertisements for registrars.
