The business plan is like a compass on the ship

dekle z rednikiPreparing a business plan is not a waste of time for bureaucratic procedures, but mainly helps the entrepreneur to clarify what is waiting for him.Preparing a business plan is not a waste of time for bureaucratic procedures, but mainly helps the entrepreneur to clarify what is waiting for him.

The best business plans contain many key information presented in as few sentences as possible. It is important not to write a business plan in an essay form, but to present as many relevant information as possible in the tables, charts and short paragraphs that state the facts. The business plan should not have more than 20 pages, but it can also be presented in the presentation format.

For every original entrepreneurial idea that gives birth to us, it does not mean that it is also a very good business opportunity. A business plan is a document that represents a systematic development of the idea into a business opportunity or a document that examines the potential of our idea. We prepare the business plan by getting involved in the business of our company for another three to five years.

 

The business plan must include the following chapters:

  1. Summary of the business plan
  2. Presentation of the product or services, businesses and industries
  3. Market research and market analysis
  4. Business economics
  5. Marketing plan
  6. Plans, design and development
  7. Production and production plan
  8. Company organisation and ownership
  9. Schedule
  10. Assessment of risks and problems
  11. Financial plan.

Differences between s.p. and d.o.o.

Founding capital The main advantage of the establishment of s.p. is that you do not need foundry capital. It is enough to justify the SPOT point where you edit all the documentation and establish your own s.p. Also d.o.o. you can easily set up at SPOT point for free, but you need a startup capital of € 7,500.
Business As regards business, s.p. and d.o.o. Equivalent, both issue revenue accounts and obtain expense accounts. A sole proprietor can completely dispose of his earned money, which is not the case for a company member, since the money earned is not his, but the money of the company. In the event that a shareholder pays him, this money is taxed twice. First, as a gain, then even as a profit that is paid to the owner.

Profit

One of the factors influencing the decision is primarily the amount of expected profit, since the rates of taxation of profits for s.p. and the company are very different. For large profits, the preferred form is d.o.o., and for smaller profits, s.p. For d.o.o. taxation is fixed irrespective of profit and is 18% in 2012 (corporation tax), however, it is necessary to add 20% of the capital gains tax (for 2012) in the event that we want to pay the profit as a shareholder of the company . This tax is payable on the payment of dividends (profit). An individual entrepreneur is taxed according to the amount of profit that he generates, according to the income tax scale. The lowest tax rate at s.P. is 16% and applies to profits of € 7,840. For profits above the above amount, 27% tax is payable, and the next level is 41% (data for 2012). The scale is progressive, which means that by increasing the tax base only the taxation of an amount exceeding a certain level increases.
Responsibility It is important, how much responsibility an individual prepared fort he consequences, since it is s.p., he is absolutely liable and liable with all his assets, while a shareholder in the company is responsible only with the invested capital.
Pay The next difference comes when pay is paid - this is not recognized as a cost with a sole proprietor. The profit of a sole proprietor is at the same time his pay, so he can not claim his salary as a cost. In the case of d.o.o. costs include all costs, including the salaries of directors whose places are normally occupied by company members. Unlike directors of companies, independent entrepreneurs are charged with social contributions, the amount of which depends on its profit. Corporate directors pay social contributions on the basis of their salary, which is specified in the contract and as such does not depend on the profit of the company.
Contributions At s.p. we have three options for paying contributions. The first option is to pay the full amount of contributions for regular s.p. The TARS shall publish the amount of social security contributions for each month. The other option is to pay lower contributions, which is the case for those who are already employed or have the status of a student and a student (afternoon s.p.). This for those who are employed for 40 hours or more per week, is about 37 euros. For those who are employed for less time and students and students, it amounts to about 150 euros per month. The third option is standardized by the tax office, where a certain tax rate is paid in advance. The tax base, on the basis of the standardized expenses, is, unlike the usual tax, where it is determined on the basis of revenues deducted from the costs.
Legal form S.p. - sole trader - is a natural person performing an activity. D.o.o. (limited liability company) is a legal person who also performs some activity or several activities.

Full s.p. (from pursuing an activity)

The basis for calculating contributions for sole proprietors for the first calendar year is equal to the minimum wage. In the coming years, the basis is determined based on the performance of the business in the previous financial year, which is what basis of insurance you use to find out that the amount from the item 9 tax bills are added to the calculated social security contributions (in simplified speaking, all the contributions made for compulsory social insurance are added to the achieved profit from the previous year), and the resulting amount is reduced by 28% (valid for 2015). Written means that each individual has an individually determined amount of contributions. For sole proprietors who determine profits on the basis of standardized expenses, the same method is used to determine the class for the payment of contributions.

The minimum basis for contributions for self-employed persons is:

  • in 2015: the amount of 54% of the last known average annual salary of employees in the Republic of Slovenia, calculated per month,
  • in 2016: 56% PP,
  • in 2017: 58% PP,
  • in 2018: 60% PP.

This means that monthly contributions, with the exception of the first class, where they are paid from the minimum wage, change monthly and the entrepreneur must carefully monitor it. In the event that the profit achieved is zero or negative (loss), it means that the basis for determining the appropriate class is equal to the amount of social security contributions charged. For January 2015, the minimum insurance base is € 831.77 gross, which means that the minimum contributions for compulsory social insurance for self-employed are € 326.47 per month.

The highest insurance base for insured persons is 3.5 times the average annual salary of employees in the Republic of Slovenia calculated per month, which amounts to € 5,390.87 for 2015, contributions in the amount of 2.059,31 €.

A sole trader with a registered full s.p. can pay higher contributions for the first year as much as he wants.

If the entrepreneur has been in business for only a few months of a particular year, the contributions have to be converted to the number of months of business as shown in the example below. We take into account only the months and for at least 15 days of business is taken into account for the full month.

Example:

In 2014, the privately-owned company operated only three months, had a profit of 3,000 euros (amount entered in the 9th tax return) and had a total of € 950.58 in 2014.

3.000 € + 950,58 = 3.950,58     3.950,58*0,72/3=  948,14€ ,

This means that its basis for 2015 is € 948.14, while the amount of monthly social security contributions is 38.2% of this amount, 362,19 €.

For sole proprietors, who determine profits on the basis of standardized expenses, the latest decision on assessment of personal income tax is taken into account for the determination of the class for payment of contributions.

 

IMPORTANT!

The new classification in the insurance base is determined for the month following the month when the tax return was submitted to the FURS.

Afternoon s.p.

Afternoon s.p. is not a legal or legal term, so you can not find it in laws or legal acts. It is a talk term that identifies a sole proprietor who performs a complementary activity and does not pay contributions for social insurance alone, but is protected from another address.

This kind of activity is suitable for an individual who has paid social security contributions through employment in another company. Afternoon s.p. (supplementary activity or accessory profession) can only have a person who is in full-time employment (40 hours per week).

Afternoon s.p. usually open by those who do not work in the regular service, either because they do not have enough earnings or they have the desire to create on their own. Due to the relatively low costs of contributions (some 65 euro per month), this form of company is a kind of business-to-business polygon. In the event that the transaction succeeds, it can quickly expand its activity on a full-time basis or open up some other form of business.

The flat rate contribution for ZPIZ from 2015 is € 32.20. The flat-rate contribution for injuries at work and occupational illness from 2015 amounts to € 32.67, a total of € 64.87.

 

INCOME TAX

Exemption from payment of contributions when opening the company

From 1 July 2013 on the first entry into the business register, partial exemption from the payment of contributions for pension and disability insurance can be claimed.

The purpose of the partial exemption is to reduce the burden on self-employed persons when starting the business and encouraging entrepreneurship.

Persons who are compulsory pension and disability insurance as self-employed are:

  • during the first 12 months of operation after the first entry in the business register or in another register or record, the payment of the contribution of the insured person for ZPIZ and the contribution of the employer in the amount of 50% of the amount of the contribution
  • in the next 12 months, the contribution of the insured and the employer's contribution in the amount of 30 percent of the amount of the contribution

 

Differences between regular and standardized s.p.

(author: Maja Boršnik, Young Entrepreneur)

The main difference between standardized and ordinary s.p. are in determining the tax base and accounting. In the standardized tax base, the tax base (DO) is determined by deducting 80 percent of the standardized expenses from all tax-deductible revenues, and all tax-deductible expenses are deducted from all tax-deductible revenues. In ordinary s.p. the tax base can be reduced by applying the tax relief, but it is not possible for norms.

Normans, who are liable for VAT, must also keep records that are necessary for charging VAT, for example, a book of received and issued invoices. Some normants, for example, traders, caterers, etc., must also keep other records, in so far as they require special regulations in the field of their activities.

There is a limitation to determine the tax base on the basis of standardized expenses. Only a taxpayer who, in the fiscal year prior to this year, did not exceed the annual turnover threshold of EUR 50,000 can be decided for such a determination.

A further difference is in the taxation itself, whereby ordinary s.p. taxable on the income tax scale, and the normant is taxed with a final cedular tax of 20%.
