At SmartSolve, we understand that the entrepreneurial journey is filled with challenges and responsibilities. Therefore, we've crafted a detailed step-by-step guide for you to embark on your journey on the right foot. By following these instructions, the process of opening your MEI will be straightforward and uncomplicated.
1st step: MEI Eligibility Criteria
First and foremost, ensure you meet the basic criteria:
- Not holding any partnership in another company;
- Having an annual turnover of up to BRL 81,000;
- Engaging in activities permitted for MEI.
2nd step: Registration on the Gov.br Portal
Visit the Entrepreneur Portal and, in the formalization section, choose "I want to be." Opt for "Formalize" and proceed to the Gov.br registration. Remember: official services are always the best choice.
3rd step: Filling in the Entrepreneur Portal
Upon clicking "Formalize," use your Gov.br details and grant access to the User Area of Redesim. Fill in the requested details and wait for the confirmation code sent via SMS.
4th step: Choosing a trade name and activities
Determine a name that aptly represents your business and select the activities you'll engage in. Also, specify the nature of your operation (itinerant, home-based, etc.). Accuracy here is crucial to prevent future complications.
5th step: Specify the address
Besides your residential address, indicate where the business will operate. And yes, it can be the same address! Legislation allows the MEI to use their residence as a commercial base.
6th step: Issuance of the CCMEI
Carefully read and agree to all the necessary statements for MEI. Afterward, you'll receive the CCMEI, your official proof of registration as an Individual Microentrepreneur.
7th step: Registration for invoice issuance
Since September 2023, the registration for the national services issuer has become mandatory. Use the receipt from the last Individual Income Tax Return submitted to complete this registration.
