With the CNPJ, entrepreneurs can issue invoices and participate in tenders promoted by the government.
For the Sebrae / PR consultant in Curitiba, Marcia Giubertoni Borro, the formalization ensures entrepreneurs a series of social security benefits with retirement, sickness and maternity leave. Formalized entrepreneurs are also exempt from all fees for the legalization of the company, as well as it appears that with the legalization of small businesses, the market warms up, since, through formal companies, entrepreneurs will be able to sell its products and services to other companies that require invoices.
“Legalization also allows small business entrepreneurs to earn what Sebrae / PR calls 'corporate citizenship'. Now, they no longer need to be afraid of inspection. They can advertise their services and offer their products to all possible customers ”, emphasizes the consultant. Another advantage, according to Marcia Borro, is the ease in accessing credit, as several financial institutions have specific lines of credit for this audience.
On the days of the Mutirão da Legalização, in addition to helping with legalization, those present can participate in lectures that take place in the morning and in the afternoon. The themes are: "Advantages and benefits of being legalized and being an individual entrepreneur", "The responsibilities that the individual entrepreneur will have after legalization", "INSS benefits after legalization" and "Exclusive credit lines for the individual entrepreneur" . The appointments take place from 8:30 am to 17:30 pm.
Ivanilde da Silva Pampuche has been working in electronics maintenance for 22 years and was formalized at the Mutirão da Legalização in Curitiba. For her, having Repar Electronics as a legal company is a victory. “I think this initiative is very important for several reasons. What I consider most important is being able to expand my business and provide new and differentiated services. As I have an invoice, I can now participate in bidding processes and that means a lot to me ”, assures Ivanilde.
The newest individual entrepreneur from Paraná states that the service provided by Sebrae / PR was good and guaranteed facilities. “I ended up formalizing without bureaucracy, with very low costs and I was directed to exactly what I need.
