Large production volumes, diversification of, buildup of working capital and a complex control system - is the level of medium and large businesses. Here, the cooperative form of management can not provide the rapid pace of development. A logical decision in this situation - the transformation of production co-operative in a better legal form.
Aims and objectives of reorganization
The need to change the forms of organization of the production association occurs infrequently. When creating the PC is not the consolidation of the financial contributions in order to further generate revenue, and the union labor efforts to meet the needs of different nature.
The transformation is most often used for the purpose of harmonization of the legal forms of organizations prior to or after other forms of reorganization.
made to 2014 year changes in legislation greatly simplify the procedure. Now the instruction to transform the production cooperative does not include the elimination of one legal entity and the creation of another - there is only a change of organizational form. This allows modification of legal form, without stopping its activity.
Selecting the transformation method
Responsibility for the decision about the change of the legal form is at the general meeting of cooperative members. it defines, which of the forms permitted by law acquire a PC after reorganization. The decision is taken voluntarily and unanimously.
One of possible variants is the transformation of the production cooperative in an economic partnership. The choice is limited and full limited partnership. The need for pre-registration of all members of the cooperative (individuals) as individual entrepreneurs limiting the actual use of the method.
Another model involves the use as the final shape of converting one type of business entities - stock, Limited or additional liability. If you choose this option, you must carefully carry out all calculations, associated with the exchange of cooperators shares of stock or shares in the authorized capital of the society, in order to avoid violation of the rights of participants.
The inverse transformation Ltd. a production cooperative is rarely used. Choosing a new legal form for the PC can not forget about the requirements, which makes the law to the amount of capital, founders and other parameters. The minimum capital of:
- LTD - 10 thousand. rub.
- AO - 10 thousand. rub.
- FELL DOWN - 100 thousand. rub.
Number of founders:
- partnership - at least 2 friend;
- AO - no more 50 shareholders.
conversion features

It is also not required to notify the registrar of the beginning of the reorganization procedure. It is connected with an unbroken succession of rights and obligations of production cooperative in relation to others. The exception is the legal relationship with the founders, if in the course of the rights and obligations of the cooperative in relation to the conversion of them were changed.
Convert your PC can now be carried out without drawing up an act of transfer and dividing balance.
Another feature - it is impossible to carry out the transformation of the production cooperative in the company, if the number of shareholders exceeds 50. In this case, the statutory period required to change the name of a public joint-stock company.
Change the list of participants as possible before the procedure, change of legal form or after its completion. The transformation also implies the obligatory passage of all procedures, which are designed to ensure the normal operation of the reorganized company:
- the election of the executive and supervisory bodies;
- approval of the Charter;
- development and approval of regulations and provisions.
For AO obligatory registration of the shares and the final reports on their placement.
