Depending on whether the founder (owner оr shareholder) is going to be a foreign legal entity or physical individual the process of incorporation and required documents can be different.

A founder has to determine all and the main types of business activity that the company will carry

Amount of issued/share capital
The statutory fund (charter capital) of a company may consist of a monetary and (or) non-monetary contribution (securities, property rights, other property). The statutory fund must be declared in Belarusian rubles. It is possible to make a contribution to the charter capital in foreign currency, but its equivalent has to be indicated at the official rate of the Belarusian ruble to the corresponding foreign currency, established by the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus on the date of actual
contribution. The minimum amount of the authorized capital for LLC is not established by law.
