Translation support for doing business in Russia?
When foreign companies and people in Russia want to start a business, it makes sense for them to start off with an office or a branch. Neither form of business is considered a legal entity, and they’re relatively easy to set up. All you need to set up a representative office is the accreditation by a special authority. Many documents are available online.
Foreign companies use representative offices in Russia to gain initial experience with the Russian business community and to establish a network. Once commercial transactions need to be settled in Russia, you must at least set up a branch. Again, all you need for this legal entity is the accreditation by the respective authority.

Instant quoteRed tape and official stamps
The documents required for establishing a business in all these forms almost always need to be translated into Russian, as well as certified. Anyone who has ever worked in the CEE region will know that many administrative matters in these countries are handled in a roundabout way. Almost nothing is complete without the obligatory stamp.
The company stamp is regarded as a kind of proof of the existence of the new company. There are a large number of law firms that offer their assistance in setting up a company in Russia. When in doubt, it’s best (and ultimately cheaper) to use them rather than become stuck in bureaucratic dead ends.
Business etiquette in Russia
Just like in any country, Russian businesspeople are individuals and can’t be painted with a broad brush. That said, there’s generally a more pronounced hierarchical structure in the country, as well as a more rigorous review process, than in most Western countries.
In the business sector, it’s important to dress well. By the same token, don't let yourself be fooled by the intentionally casual clothes worn by many business partners. These are often very powerful investors.
Translations for any industry
From a simple employment contract to complex software for chemical companies, we translate all kinds of documents in every industry. To ensure that your texts are translated with absolute accuracy, both linguistically and in terms of subject matter, we work exclusively with native translators who have the appropriate knowledge in your specialized area.
