The whole truth about contractors at your fingertips

According to security experts, every five out of 100 companies turn out to be scammers, and every 20th transaction is risky. Meanwhile, not everyone pays due attention to checking counterparties, thinking that this requires hiring expensive specialists. In fact, any entrepreneur can check a potential partner. Using real-life examples of security directors and employees of legal agencies, we will tell you how to check contractors using the data you have at hand.

Is there a company or an IP in fact?
Unfortunately, unregistered “legal entities” do exist. And since 2013, the question of whether an entrepreneur is registered has completely ceased to be idle: in January, insurance premiums for individual entrepreneurs doubled. Entrepreneurs began to stop operations en masse. How to recognize non-existent companies and entrepreneurs who have ceased operations before starting cooperation? First of all, make sure that the vendor's TIN is not a random set of numbers and that it really belongs to the company offering the transaction.
Secondly, be sure to request a statement of USRLE / USRIP for the intended counterparty. You can do this through the website of the Federal Tax Service or special services. For example, in “Contour Focus” you can get an extract in a few minutes and see if the company / individual is operating.

Says Konstantin Sergeyev, Head of the Executive Committee of the NP “Union of Heads of Security Services of the Urals”:
After changes in the legislation, we decided to conduct an audit of all our counterparties-IP. Among the partners were de jure ceased operations, but entrepreneurs who continue to work. I had to urgently take action, which prevented the loss of the company. Thus, timely verification of counterparties saved the company from significant losses.

Bulk Registration Address
This is one of the most important features of a one-day company. When starting a partnership with a new counterparty, be sure to check how many legal entities are registered at the same address as your prospective partner. Rate this building: a huge business center or a small apartment building? Is it possible in this building to accommodate numerous legal entities and individual entrepreneurs? If more than 10 companies are registered in a wooden dormitory for demolition, then it is highly likely that you have encountered scammers.
Says Svetlana Korabel, Director of the Law Agency “US COGENS”:
Our company is regularly contacted for counterparty verification services. The first step is to check the registration address - whether it is massive. After that, we check how many companies are registered for the co-founders and the management team. Just making sure that everything is in order from the point of view of documents, we carry out further checks, including field ones.
If the registration address, managers and founders are not in doubt, do not be too lazy to go and make sure that it is located at the legal or actual address. As a rule, it is obvious whether employees have been working here for years, they are ready to change their place of deployment at any moment. This will protect you in the future from a one-day firm that has rented an office “for a look”.

Says Igor Bederov, Assistant to the President of NP International Association of Detectives ”:
I remember one instructive story: the company finds a supplier attractive for the price and negotiates with him favorable terms of the transaction. The first money is transferred, and the company disappears. It turns out that the address of registration of the company has long been gone, all phones do not answer. And even a lawsuit won in an arbitration court does not help: the company at the place of registration is absent, its accounts are empty, and the director and founders are not liable for the obligations of a legal entity.
Doubtful leaders and founders
You don’t need to be a private detective to make sure that the company's management is trustworthy. First, check to see if your counterparty’s leaders are on the list of disqualified persons. This can be done using a special service of the Federal Tax Service https://service.nalog.ru/disfind.do .

After that, look at how many more companies are associated with the leader and founders of your potential counterparty. Is it one or two firms? Or ten companies, of which most have already ceased operations?
Pay attention to the history of these companies. Be sure to check in what arbitration cases your potential partner and related companies have participated. If these are claims related to violation by the company of its obligations, this is a reason to refuse cooperation. Arbitration also allows you to determine how much the company operates and how much the contract conditions are feasible for it. Arbitration cases are available on the BAC website, in most reference and legal systems, as well as in the focus.kontur.ru service.


Says Igor Bederov, Assistant to the President of NP International Association of Detectives ”:
In my practice, there were two similar stories. The beginning is the same: the new company offered the company cooperation, under the contract it was necessary to make an advance payment. In the first case, the registration address of the legal entity was verified, and the name of the head and founder were found and verified. Specialists have identified signs of a one-day company. Another trustworthy supplier was selected who faithfully fulfilled the obligations undertaken.

In the second story, an audit was carried out after the company paid 50%. After that, representatives of the new company disappeared along with an advance of several million. It turned out that the director was previously convicted, is not a co-founder. The founders were found, among whom were also previously convicted. In addition, it was possible to find out that other companies that also engage in fraudulent activities are registered with these people. Therefore, real scammers were found.

Verification of changes in constituent documents
In this simple way, you can track the company's attempt to get away then debt obligations. In order to avoid surprises and check all the counterparty's restructuring, you can request a register statement for the partner or, if cooperation is already underway, track changes in the Kontur-Focus service.

Says Konstantin Sergeyev, Head of the Executive Committee of the NP “Union of the Heads of Security Services of the Urals”:
The company received information that its major business partner introduced a new member. It was necessary to check the reliability of the beginner.

We checked the changes in the constituent documents of the company, examined how many companies are registered on each person. Having found suspicious people, the company stopped deliveries to the partner and managed to return most of the receivables.
So, all the necessary information is at your fingertips. You can find out about each new or old partner using your own resources: by visiting the physical address or place of registration of the company, use open sources, such as the Federal Tax Service and the Federal Migration Service, the Card File of Arbitration Cases. As well as the convenient service “Kontur-Focus” (focus.kontur.ru), where in one place information is collected about all companies and individual entrepreneurs from the most important open official sources. Take no risk: doing business safely is a snap!
