Hello my favorite entrepreneurs, one more day here from the video word of master, and today we have Amanda from MEI Facil, which is a complete digital platform for those who are MEI and for those who want to become MEI, but today I brought here she specially to answer the questions you sent there on instagram, the main doubts you had as a MEI, that you have as a MEI. Are ready? Thanks for the invitation Daniel, today I am here to represent MEI Facil.
Very good, welcome. Thanks! And before I start I want to tell you something, you will have to stay until the end of the video because at the end, it will answer you what is the main mistake that every MEI makes.
Stay there. It stays there folks! So, let's go to the first question: what is MEI?
Can everyone be Mei? So MEI is the simplest type of company that exists. Back in 2011, the individual microentrepreneur program was created to help the self-employed, those people who were unemployed, already started to formalize them.
Cool, I saw that today in 2019 there are more than 460 activities that fall under the MEI program? There on the Mei Facil blog we have a complete list with all the activities that are allowed by MEI, so there are trade and service activities such as manicures, hairdressers, beauticians, masons, electricians, so there is a lot of activity. And if I'm starting out wanting to start a company, if I can choose between MEI and any other type of company, what is the advantage of starting being MEI?
So what are the advantages of having MEI . . the tax is low and costs around 55 reais, it depends on the activity you are going to register, formalization is simple, there is no bureaucracy so it is legal for those starting a business.
Oh, and of course, if you want to start earning 10 thousand a year, there is already a projection that you will have this amount, it is nice to see another category of company because the MEI has a billing limit. But this is a cool thing that I always say to you, start small, you don’t need to take a big next step right away. And how is that billing limit that you commented on?
So, the MEI has a billing limit of up to 81 thousand per year. If we think about it, it is quite a high figure, because it would be proportionally six thousand seven hundred and fifty reais per month. It is a value that even a dream for those who are starting, right?
But if I opened my company in December, for example, can I earn 81 thousand reais in December ? This amount is not proportional, so in December you could earn six thousand seven hundred and fifty reais so it is important to be aware of this. And that was in the first year of MEI's opening .
Then it opened in December just like in his example, the next year he will be able to earn a total of 81 thousand. And is it easy to open the MEI? How does the process work?
Yes it is very simple, on the MEI Fácil website or application you can open it, we leave the link in the description, and the document is very simple: personal documents rg and cpf, the most difficult document you can ask for is the title of voter or their income tax number, this will vary for each person. So you have to register to see what will be requested. Cool and now that I've opened MEI, I've already gone through this stage, what do I have to do?
So in summary, after the opening of the MEI, you are formalizing your company, your obligations are to pay the monthly tax which is the DAS, there in our application you can even generate this bill is very simple, have a financial control , be aware of your billing limit in order to be able to make the annual declaration because the tax and the annual declaration are the two obligations of MEI. Muy bien, now the most anticipated moment you have stayed in the video so far: what is the main mistake that every MEI makes? So guys, I'm going to tell you something very important to you: formalizing the mei is easy, right, having a cnpj, but that doesn't mean that you don't have to have other concerns, and an example of this is the permit.
When you open the MEI, you will have a provisional license of up to 180 days that will be your MEI certificate. It will be able to become definitive if the city hall does not speak out on other permits, and then how will you know if the mayor will speak out? We always indicate that you go to the city hall to consult, so that you have no problem, hit your establishment and have to close because of that, right?
So it is a very important detail and we always recommend it: open your MEI, go to the city hall, see if you will need some permit with firefighters, health surveillance, depending on your activity. So what's the biggest mistake, right? The biggest mistake MEI makes?
It's opening a CNPJ and thinking that just paying the tax is all right, you don't have to worry about anything else, and in fact you don't have to pay attention to all the details. Opening is easy, but it is to make this lot of difficulty uncomplicated that there is MEI Facil, so just go there on their channel, you will already see here in the description, on the card, on their blog there are a lot of cool things for you to see. Thanks!
