No. When including the company into the State Register of Financial Institutions, the Client shall already know what license the company intends to obtain in the future.
The amount of the authorized capital depends on the type of a financial institution and the number of financial services the company intends to provide. The amount of the authorized capital of a financial company, which will provide one type of financial services, shall be not less than UAH 3 million, and if it intends to provide two or more types of financial services, then it shall be not less than UAH 5 million. In addition, there are exclusive requirements for pawnshops and some other types of licenses.
According to the law of Ukraine, financial institutions are legal entities, which are registered in the manner prescribed by law and provide one or more types of financial services.
To provide several types of financial services, the company shall obtain several types of licenses. This means that a legal entity can carry out four types of activities at once:
- Lending, including on the terms of financial credit;
- Guarantee services;
- Factoring;
- Finance lease.
However, there are also so-called “exclusive” types of licenses.
Thus, if a company, for example, intends to provide services related to fund management for purchasing goods in groups, it can obtain only one type of license, which is exclusive.
