How to Register a Business in Ukraine?

Foreign investors, whose goal is to enter the Ukrainian market with their goods or services, have many opportunities to achieve this. 


First of all, you need to understand what form of business registration will best meet your interests and help you get the result you expect in Ukraine. You can set up a company in Ukraine in several ways.

LLC

The most popular form of business registration is LLC. When you start an LLC in Ukraine, it allows you to adjust business control processes, to obtain the necessary permits for many activities in Ukraine, as well as to employ a foreign director who can then obtain a residence permit in Ukraine. To start a business in Ukraine this way, you don't need to gather many documents or spend much time.

RepOffice

Representative office or RepOffice is also quite a popular form of doing small or big business, but already somewhat outdated. We still can do it, but firstly will analyse if it is the best choice for you, and consult you on the matters of how to register a company in Ukraine in a most convenient way.

JSC

You can also start a company in Ukraine as a Joint Stock Company or “JSC”. This is mainly the choice of large businesses because opening such a company requires careful structure and separate expenditure of time and effort to organize work with shares.

We also need to mention that there is a possibility to be self-employed in the form of sole proprietorship. But this form won't give you an opportunity to obtain a residence permit and is most suitable, for example, for IT specialists who want to work remotely while staying in Ukraine but with other grounds.


The main advantage of company incorporation in Ukraine through our consultant is that we not only help to register a company, but also offer services for foreign business in Ukraine. It can include:

  • accounting in Ukraine;
  • personnel accounting of the enterprise, assistance with stuff employment, payment of salaries, etc.;
  • legal advice on all issues arising in the process of doing your own business and your opportunities.

INTERESTING INFORMATION

Can I Become a Director in My Ukrainian Company?

A convenient scheme for many entrepreneurs is to start a small new business in Ukraine and employ it as a director. Thus it is possible to solve several problems at once:

  • All the levers of management are in the hands of an interested entrepreneur;
  • You can get a residence permit for employment in Ukraine, basically being self-employed and thus stay in Ukraine as long as you need to manage your business;
  • Getting a work permit in Ukraine in this way for the director is somewhat easier - if the director becomes the founder of the company, for him no minimum wage is set.


The only restriction is that at the very moment of the procedure it is impossible to appoint a foreigner as a director of an LLC in Ukraine. According to the law, a foreigner can work in Ukraine only with a work permit. And it has to be requested by an already registered Ukrainian company. Which, in turn, it is impossible to register without a director.


Thus we offer the services of our trusted consultant, who becomes the director only for the period of obtaining a Work Permit. Or, if you have a reliable partner in Ukraine - he can become a director in your new company for a certain period of time.
