To get the registration of MEI, it is necessary to fulfill some prerequisites, among them: them, whoever registers as a micro-entrepreneur cannot be the owner, partner or administrator of a company.
Annual revenues also cannot exceed R$ 81,000 per year. Even if some projects in progress are trying to increase the limit to R$ 140 thousand, this point still depends on the approval of several sectors of the Government.
As much as there are advantages, such as issuing the invoice itself and a lower tax burden, unfortunately, some professions do not fit the standards of this model. Thus, doctors, lawyers, DJs, comedians and music consultants, for example, are not considered MEI.
However, if you fit the standard and are considered MEI, one of the advantages is the special credit condition. A special credit program for Microentrepreneurs was developed by the Paraná State Development Agency.
Casa do Empreendedor serves individual micro-entrepreneurs and micro-enterprises that have a certain income with special interest rates. For micro and small companies, this is a way to expand their business, adding more technology, equipment and working capital.
Interest rates are the lowest on the market and range from 0.45% to 1.55% per month depending on the loan. With this, many companies can benefit in order to expand their market.
