We provide full support throughout the registration process, ensuring precision, compliance with the law, and maximum convenience for our clients.
What is a Limited Liability Company (LLC)?
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a form of business entity with an authorized capital divided into shares among its participants. It is one of the types of business associations.
The key feature of an LLC is that its participants are only liable for the company’s debts within the limits of their contributions to the authorized capital. This means they can lose only their invested capital, and their personal property is not at risk.
The liability of the LLC as a legal entity is not limited to specific sums or assets. However, unlike in a general or limited partnership, the participants of an LLC are not required to make additional payments beyond their initial contributions.
Advantages of LLC Registration
- Limited Liability: Participants are liable only within the scope of their contributions, meaning their personal assets are protected.
- Collective Management: An LLC can have two or more founders, allowing the pooling of resources and expertise.
- Management Flexibility: The management structure and profit distribution can be customized.
- Attracting Investments: New participants can join without altering the organizational form.
- Ease of Exit for Participants: Shares can be transferred or sold without requiring the company to be liquidated.
- Prestige and Trust: An LLC is viewed as more credible by partners and clients compared to sole proprietorships.
How an LLC Differs from a Sole Proprietorship
In the world of entrepreneurship, the choice of business structure is crucial for the successful development of a business. In Ukraine, entrepreneurs most often choose between two forms: Sole Proprietorship and Limited Liability Company (LLC).
Some types of activities require the creation of a legal entity, as there are requirements for the charter and authorized capital. However, for typical small or medium-sized businesses, a sole proprietorship is sufficient.
A sole proprietorship is essentially the individual entrepreneur conducting business under their own name, whereas an LLC is a full-fledged legal entity with its own bank account, stamp, and independent status from its founders.
In comparison to a sole proprietorship, registering an LLC offers a key advantage: the possibility of easily selling the company if the business owner no longer wishes or can continue operating the business.
A key difference is the potential for business scaling. While a sole proprietorship faces significant limitations on the number of employees and the scope of operations, an LLC offers much more flexibility for growth. A Limited Liability Company can easily attract investments, enter into complex contracts, expand into international markets, and hire an unlimited number of employees.
Registering an LLC in Kyiv is often the preferred choice for foreign investors who wish to retain control over their business activities. Moreover, the LLC structure allows foreign directors to obtain a residence permit in Ukraine.
Stages of LLC Registration
Registering an LLC involves several steps:
1. Preparation Stage
This stage involves not only the preparation of the charter and the protocol for the establishment but also selecting the tax system, determining the optimal amount of authorized capital, and deciding on the distribution of shares among the founders. In some cases, it may be better to separate the roles of founders and investors.
Special attention should be given to situations where foreign individuals or legal entities are among the founders. In such cases, it is necessary to prepare documents in the country of residence of these founders first. The most common mistakes at this stage include incorrect notarization or an incomplete set of documents being sent to Ukraine.
2. Document Preparation
Ukrainian legislation changes quite frequently, so it is essential to develop documents that comply with current legal requirements. Using outdated templates or templates found online is one of the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make. Registering an LLC in Ukraine requires the preparation of documents in multiple copies, all of which must meet the requirements of the current legislation.
3. Submission of Documents for Registration and Obtaining an Extract
After preparing the registration documents, they are submitted to the state registrar. This process includes obtaining a description of the documents, an extract from the Unified State Register (USR), and, if needed, the creation of a company seal. It is crucial to note that if even one document is missing or incorrectly formatted, the LLC registration will not be completed.
Foreigners often overlook the fact that without a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) in Ukraine, they cannot become company founders. If a foreigner wishes to register a company and become its director, they must first obtain a work permit.
What Documents Are Required for LLC Registration?
To ensure the LLC registration proceeds without delays, a main package of documents needs to be prepared at the outset. This includes:
- A completed application form for company registration.
- Copies of passports and taxpayer identification numbers (TINs) of all founders and directors.
- If a legal entity is a founder, a document confirming the registration of the legal entity or its EDRPOU code must be provided.
To register an LLC, the following documents are required:
- Notarized copy of the passport of the ultimate beneficial owner.
- Power of attorney for our employees (notarized, or if the power of attorney is sent from abroad, it must be notarized in accordance with international agreements between the countries).
- If the founder is a foreign legal entity, a properly notarized and translated document confirming the registration of the foreign legal entity in the country where it is registered must be provided.
Please note! If the individual founder of an LLC in Ukraine is a foreigner, they will need to obtain a tax identification number (TIN), which we can assist with.
If the foreigner intends to be the director of the LLC, in addition to the TIN, they must first obtain a work permit, as mentioned earlier.
The "turnkey" registration of an LLC by a foreign legal entity involves the following document package:
- A copy of the extract or registry certificate (from a bank, court, or other relevant registry) confirming the registration of the foreign legal entity in its country.
- Originals of the founding documents (charter, minutes).
- An official decision on the creation of the new company, agreed upon by the founders of the legal entity.
- A power of attorney for carrying out the registration actions.

What Determines the Cost of LLC Registration?
The cost of registering an LLC is not fixed and depends on several factors that should be considered before starting the process.
The price increases based on the number of founders involved in the company. If there are more than three founders, an additional fee of UAH 1,000 applies for each additional founder. If any of the founders are foreign individuals or legal entities, an extra charge of UAH 2,000 is applied for each such founder.
It's also important to note that the cost of LLC registration does not include notary services. During the registration process, notarized powers of attorney or certification of the founders’ signatures in the charter may be required. We work with trusted notaries to ensure the registration process is fast and convenient.
Mistakes When Registering an LLC in Ukraine
Registering an LLC requires close attention to detail. Many entrepreneurs encounter common mistakes that can lead to delays in the business registration process.
1. Errors in Document Completion
The registration application, charter, and other documents must be completed without mistakes. Founders are often unaware of specific requirements—for example, if the passports of ultimate beneficial owners follow the old format, they must be notarized. For foreign nationals, the LLC registration process starts well before the formal procedure itself, beginning with obtaining a tax identification number (TIN). Any inconsistencies in the documents or even minor typos can result in a refusal to register the company.
2. Poorly Drafted Charter
The charter is the foundational document of an LLC that defines its operations. Founders often rely on generic templates, which typically fail to reflect the specifics of their particular business. This can at best result in limited rights for participants and, at worst, lead to internal conflicts or legal complications in the future.
3. Incorrect KVED Codes
To register an LLC, it is essential to correctly define both the primary and secondary types of business activities according to the Ukrainian Classification of Economic Activities (KVED). An error at this stage may result in difficulties obtaining licenses, increased tax liabilities, or refusal of banking services. Each type of activity has specific documentation and permits, which is why this step must be handled with particular care.
All of these mistakes can be avoided by consulting with the experienced legal professionals at Pravova Dopomoha Law Firm, who will assist you in correctly preparing documentation, selecting appropriate KVED codes, and drafting a charter aligned with your business strategy.
Who Can Be a Member and Founder of an LLC?
One of the key advantages of a limited liability company is that there are no restrictions on the minimum number of members—an LLC can be founded by just one individual. This provides flexibility in organizing a business, regardless of its scale.
An LLC founder can be either a natural person or a legal entity. However, there is one important limitation: a legal entity that consists of only one member cannot act as the sole founder of another LLC.
Many entrepreneurs, when choosing between a sole proprietorship and a single-member LLC, often opt for the latter. This decision is typically driven by several key reasons:
- Access to more attractive counterparties. Many large companies prefer doing business with legal entities rather than sole proprietors. As a result, registering an LLC increases the chances of securing favorable contracts.
- Liability limited to share capital. Unlike sole proprietors, who are personally liable for their business obligations with all personal assets, LLC participants bear liability only within the limits of their contributions to the charter capital.
- Cost-saving on personnel. A sole participant in an LLC can appoint themselves as a director, even if they are already a member of other LLCs. Moreover, if an individual already holds a director position in another LLC, they can take up the new role on a part-time basis.
- Sale of a ready-made business. An LLC can be sold as a ready-made business, whereas transferring ownership of a sole proprietorship is highly problematic.
Citizenship and Status of Members
Citizenship does not prevent participation in an LLC. Founders can be both Ukrainian citizens and non-residents, including foreign legal entities. The registration of an LLC allows for a mixed composition of founders, but each must possess the necessary documents confirming their identity and legal status.
A common question is whether a foreigner can be the sole member in an LLC. Yes, this is possible. A foreigner can become the director of their LLC, but they must first obtain a work permit for foreigners in Ukraine. Until the work permit is issued, a Ukrainian citizen can be appointed as the director of the LLC. Our lawyers provide such services.
Maximum Number of LLC Members
The maximum number of members in an LLC cannot exceed one hundred people. If this limit is exceeded, the company is required to change its organizational and legal form to a joint-stock company within one year.
Rights and Obligations of LLC Members
Members of the LLC have the following rights:
- To participate in the management of the LLC in accordance with the applicable legislation and the company's charter;
- To receive information about the economic activities of the LLC;
- To participate in the distribution of the LLC's profits;
- To receive, in the event of liquidation of the LLC, the remaining assets after settlement with creditors, or their equivalent value.
Please note! A member of the company has the right to request notarization of their signature when making decisions related to the company's activities or notarization of agreements concerning their share in the authorized capital. At the same time, they can revoke this requirement, and the corresponding information will be recorded in the Unified State Register of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Public Organizations in accordance with the legislation. Both the establishment and revocation of this requirement are unilateral transactions, which must be notarized.
Members of the company are obliged to:
- Adhere to the charter
- Fulfill the decisions made at the general meeting of members
Requirements for the Share Capital of an LLC
Share capital is the foundation of the financial stability of any business, as it represents the amount of money or assets that the members contribute to the company at the outset of its operations. It is used to cover initial expenses, ensure the company's operations, and establish a minimum level of ownership.
The amount of the contribution to the share capital determines the level of financial responsibility for each member of the LLC. For example, if a member contributes 50,000 UAH, this is the maximum financial risk they assume. If the company is facing financial difficulties, the return of the contributed capital is not guaranteed.
Minimum and Maximum Requirements for Share Capital
In Ukraine, there is currently no established minimum or maximum amount for the share capital of an LLC. This allows the members to freely determine the amount they are willing to contribute to support the company's operations.
Theoretically, a company can be registered with a symbolic share capital, such as 1 UAH, but this is very rarely the case in practice. Members typically choose larger amounts, as this not only supports the company's stable operation but also creates a positive impression of the company among partners and clients.
Methods for Increasing the Share Capital of an LLC
The share capital of an LLC can be increased in two main ways:
1. Through the retained earnings of the company.
Increasing the share capital through retained earnings involves using the company's existing funds without the need for additional investments from the members. This decision is made by the general meeting of members with a majority of 3/4 votes (or another number specified in the charter). It is important to note that in this case, the composition of the members and the ratio of their shares remain unchanged.
Recommendation! It is advisable to include provisions in the company's charter regarding capital increases through profits, specifying whether the entire profit or only part of it will be used, and setting the minimum amount for dividend payouts or allocating funds to other reserves.
2. Through additional contributions from members.
Increasing the share capital through additional contributions involves the existing members or third parties making additional financial contributions to the company's share capital. In this case, the members have a preferential right to make additional contributions in proportion to their shares in the share capital. If they waive this right, the opportunity to make contributions passes to third parties.
Procedure for Increasing Share Capital
1. Preliminary decision by the general meeting. This decision outlines:
- The total amount of the capital increase
- The share of each member
- The deadlines for making additional contributions
- The possibility of third-party participation
Please note! The decision must be notarized.
2. Conclusion of agreements for additional contributions (if necessary). These agreements detail the obligations of the member or third party to make the contribution, as well as the actions the company will take regarding changes to the capital.
3. Final decision by the general meeting. This must occur within one month after the deadline for making contributions. The decision confirms the results of the additional contributions, the revised share of each member, and the new share capital.
Please note! State registration of changes in the share capital amount is mandatory.
The state registrar does not verify the actual deposit of funds into the company's account. If a member or third party fails to fulfill their contribution obligations, the contribution agreement is considered terminated.
Management Bodies of an LLC
The structure of the management bodies of an LLC includes:
- General Meeting of Members
This is the highest governing body, which makes key decisions, such as amendments to the charter, approval of financial reports, election and dismissal of executive bodies (such as the board, director, etc.), and the establishment of general principles and strategies for the company’s operations.
- Supervisory Board
The Supervisory Board oversees the activities of the LLC and ensures the implementation of decisions made by the general meeting.
- Executive Body (Board of Directors or Director)
The executive body is responsible for managing the company, specifically implementing the strategic plans approved by the general meeting and the board, overseeing daily operations, ensuring decisions are executed, and monitoring the completion of tasks.
Taxation System for LLCs
In Ukraine, limited liability companies (LLCs) may choose either the general or the simplified taxation system.
1. Simplified Taxation System
An LLC under the simplified taxation system may select one of the following tax options:
- If the company is a VAT payer, it pays a unified tax at the rate of 3% of income, in addition to 20% VAT.
- If the company is not a VAT payer, the unified tax rate is 5% of income, and VAT is not paid.
Please note! Not all companies are eligible to use the simplified taxation system. Exceptions include companies engaged in gambling, currency exchange, extraction and sale of precious metals and minerals, financial services, postal and telecommunication services, the sale of works of art and antiques, as well as the organization of excursions.
2. General Taxation System
Companies operating under the general taxation system are subject to the following tax rates:
- Corporate income tax – 18%
- VAT – 20%
Requirements for an LLC Name
Choosing the correct name for a Limited Liability Company (LLC) affects its legal registration, brand recognition, and business reputation. There are several requirements a company name must meet.
1. Uniqueness
An LLC can only be registered under a name that does not match the names of already registered legal entities. The uniqueness of a company name can be verified in the Unified State Register. If the chosen name is already in use, registration under that name will not be permitted.
2. State Language
According to legislation, the name of an LLC must be in the state language (Ukrainian). It is permitted to use the name in English or another language, but only as an additional version. For example:
- ООО "Правова допомога"
- ООО "Правова допомога" / LLC "Legal Assistance"
3. Mandatory Elements
The full name of an LLC must include its legal organizational form, either the words "Limited Liability Company" or the abbreviation "LLC" (in Ukrainian: “Товариство з обмеженою відповідальністю” or “ТОВ”).
4. Prohibited Words and Designations
The registration of an LLC does not allow the use of:
- Official names of government bodies or local authorities without appropriate authorization
- Names that are misleading or infringe on the rights of others (e.g., resembling a registered trademark)
- Terms that may be associated with government institutions, international organizations, or military formations without proper authorization
- Offensive or discriminatory words and expressions
Types of Activities for an LLC
Registering an LLC requires specifying the types of business activities the company will engage in. In Ukraine, these activities are classified according to the National Classifier DK 009:2010, which covers all areas of economic activity. Selecting the correct activity codes is important not only for ensuring legal compliance but also for obtaining licenses, permits, and the ability to operate in specific sectors.
Key aspects of selecting business activities:
- An LLC may engage in manufacturing, service provision, or trade.
- The company can choose multiple types of activities, with one designated as the primary activity.
- If the company plans to expand or change its line of business over time, it can amend its registration documents accordingly.
Licensed Types of Activities
Certain types of business activities require obtaining special permits or licenses. For example, financial services, pharmaceutical operations, security services, passenger transportation, and the transport of hazardous goods are subject to licensing and require compliance with additional conditions. At the same time, most business sectors do not require special permits, which significantly simplifies the process of starting and operating a business.
A Strategic Approach to Selecting Business Activities
When choosing the scope of activities for an LLC, it's important to consider not only the current business objectives but also potential growth opportunities. Including additional types of activities in advance can save time later if expansion becomes necessary. It is also essential to consider tax implications, as certain types of activities may be subject to special tax regimes or restrictions under the simplified taxation system.
Choosing the right business activities is essential for operating a legal and successful business. Our legal team will assist you in selecting the optimal NACE codes, preparing the required documents, and completing the registration process to ensure your business fully complies with legal requirements.
Seal for an LLC
A seal for a limited liability company (LLC) is one of the symbols of a company’s corporate identity. Although under current Ukrainian law, a seal is no longer mandatory for legal entities, many businesses continue to use it for signing documents, certifying agreements, and as an additional layer of protection against forgery.
If the company decides to use a seal, it can:
- Guarantee the authenticity of documents: The seal often adds extra weight to documents and confirms their official status.
- Meet the requirements of third parties: Banks, government agencies, and contractors sometimes require it on documents for convenience and to confirm the official status of the company. This is especially relevant for contracts, financial documents, and official correspondence with government bodies.
Please note! The use of a seal for an LLC does not affect the legal force of documents if they are properly signed by an authorized person. However, if the company's charter specifies the mandatory use of the company seal, its absence may lead to disputes when the case is considered in court.
Nowadays, electronic document management is gaining increasing popularity, so many of our clients prefer using an electronic seal for their LLC.
Opening a Business Account for an LLC
Opening a business account for an LLC is a mandatory step in conducting business activities and carrying out financial transactions. The process of opening an account is regulated and requires the preparation of a relevant document package.
Steps for opening a business account for an LLC:
- Choosing a bank: When selecting a bank for our clients, we focus on the bank's fee structure, service conditions, availability of online banking, and additional services. Considering these aspects will help find the best solution for your business.
- Preparing documents: To open an account for an LLC, the company’s founding documents (charter, protocol, or decision to set up an LLC est), an extract from the Unified State Register, a tax registration certificate, and documents confirming the authority of the director and signatories are required. In some cases, additional documents, such as licenses or permits for specific types of activity, may be needed.
- Bank's decision: If all documents meet the requirements, the bank will make a decision to open the LLC’s account. The process can take from one to several business days, depending on the bank and the complexity of the verification process.
Obtaining Permits and Licenses for Certain Business Activities
Ukrainian legislation provides a list of sectors that require special permits or licenses for lawful operation. These sectors include, in particular, healthcare, education, construction, financial services, the sale of alcohol and tobacco products, passenger transportation, and many others.
The procedure for obtaining a license or permit depends on the specific industry and the applicable regulatory legal acts. As a rule, a company must meet certain requirements, submit a package of documents, and undergo an inspection by the authorized authorities. The documents may include founding documents, proof of staff qualifications, equipment compliance certificates, and other necessary supporting documentation.
A key aspect is compliance with all requirements and standards established by government authorities. In the event of non-compliance or detection of violations during inspections, the company may be denied a license or required to eliminate the deficiencies. Moreover, a license may have a specified validity period, after which it must be renewed.
Given the complexity of the procedures and regulatory requirements, entrepreneurs often encounter difficulties during the process of obtaining permits and licenses. For this reason, professional legal support is an important factor in ensuring the successful completion of this process. Our specialists will assist you in identifying the required permits, preparing all necessary documents, and undergoing inspections with minimal complications.
How Can a Member Withdraw from an LLC?
A member may withdraw from a limited liability company (LLC) for various reasons, including personal initiative, a decision of the general meeting, or the death of one of the founders.
- If a member decides to withdraw from the company voluntarily, they must formally document their intent. For this purpose, a corresponding instrument is drawn up, specifying the transfer of their share to another member or to a third party. The shares may be sold, gifted, or otherwise transferred, depending on the provisions of the company’s charter.
Please note! Other members of the company have a preemptive right to purchase the withdrawing member’s share. If they choose not to exercise this right, the share may be transferred to third parties under the conditions specified in the company’s charter. In the event of a sale or gift of the share, its valuation may be carried out either collectively or with the assistance of an independent appraiser.
- If a member is forced to withdraw due to misconduct or creating obstacles to the company’s operations, the decision is made by a vote. To exclude a member, more than 50% of the votes of the remaining members must be in favor. Once such a decision is adopted, the excluded member must be paid the value of their share within one year of their withdrawal.
- If a member withdraws due to death, a general meeting must be held to determine the future of their share. Heirs may either join the company as members or receive compensation for the deceased member’s share.
Any withdrawal from the company must be properly documented. All changes must be registered in the state register following the submission of the appropriate application and supporting documents, including the minutes of the general meeting, the updated version of the charter, and documents relating to the new member.
Grounds for Denial of LLC Registration
The registration of a limited liability company (LLC) may be denied for several reasons, the most common of which include:
- Incorrect documentation. The most frequent reason for denial is errors or inaccuracies in the submitted documents. This may include missing required signatures, an improperly completed application, or discrepancies between the documents and legal requirements.
- Non-unique company name. Registration may also be refused if the company name has already been registered by another legal entity. It is important to verify the uniqueness of the name prior to submitting the documents.
- Founders not meeting legal requirements. Certain individuals are legally prohibited from engaging in business activities. There are also restrictions related to founders — for instance, a sole founder of one LLC cannot independently establish another LLC.
- Incomplete document package. Submission of a complete set of documents is crucial. Missing even a single required document may result in the denial of registration.
- Non-compliance of the charter with legal requirements. The LLC’s charter must comply with current legislation. Any contradictory or non-compliant provisions in the charter may lead to a refusal of registration.

The Main Stages and Mistakes of Registering a Company in Ukraine
Preparation Stage: This involves more than just drafting the articles of incorporation and protocol of creation. It also involves selecting a tax system, deciding on the optimal amount of authorized capital, and distributing shares among founders. Sometimes, it's better to have separate founders and investors.
If foreign citizens or legal entities will be among the founders, that's a separate issue altogether. Certain documents must first be prepared in the country where the foreign founders are located. The most common mistakes at this stage are incorrect certification of documents or an incomplete set of documents sent to Ukraine. Also, mistakes can lead to significant currency costs.
Document Development: Ukrainian legislation often changes. The most common mistakes are outdated document templates. Using a template from the internet is probably the worst idea that could come to mind. Documents for company registration in Ukraine are developed in several copies.
Submission of Documents for Registration: If one document is missing, the registration will not take place. In addition, foreigners often do not know that, without a tax identification number in Ukraine, it is impossible to become a company founder. And if a foreigner is going to be a manager, a work permit must be obtained beforehand.
Common Mistakes When Opening an LLC in Ukraine
Some of these issues have already been covered above. The most common mistakes include using "flawed" internet document templates, not knowing exactly what needs to be submitted (such as notarized passports of ultimate beneficiaries if they are of an old format). Not to mention that for foreigners, the quest begins long before LLC registration itself, namely with obtaining a tax identification number.
It's not so difficult to download articles of incorporation from the internet and visit a registrar. However, the main question here is whether the company you register will meet your interests. The article of incorporation outlines the fundamental details of the company, including its name, purpose, and structure. Are the levers of company management outlined in the articles of incorporation as you want them to be? Are the ways of financing the company, distributing profits among participants, director's powers, etc. fixed?
All of these issues can be anticipated with extensive experience not only in registration but also in working in the field of Ukrainian business, especially for foreigners.
Advantages of registering a business as an LLC in Ukraine
Compared to setting up a foreign company representative office in Ukraine, creating a new company (LLC) gives the company the status of a legal entity, and therefore, independence. The procedure is much faster than registering a representative office.
Online LLC registration in Ukraine
Despite the announced simplicity, in practice, it mostly doesn't work for various reasons (often the service itself is unavailable), and for foreign founders, it's generally impossible because it requires an electronic digital signature (EDS) (which is only available in Ukraine, of course).

Step-by-step instructions for registering an LLC in Ukraine
- Consider who you will be creating this company with. Remember that a 50/50 split of ownership is the most dangerous in terms of decision-making if one of the two founders loses interest in the business or stops communicating altogether;
- Choose the most optimal tax system. Remember that if a simplified system (single tax) is required, there are certain restrictions on the types of activities and even the circle of founders;
- Properly prepare a package of documents for registration, including the charter, minutes of the general meeting or the decision of the sole participant, ownership structure, copies of the passports of ultimate beneficiaries (or an explanation of why they are not available). If there are foreign individuals or legal entities among the founders, their documents must be correctly notarized in the country of issue and then translated into Ukrainian with a notarized translation;
- Submit the documents for registration. Since there are either queues or no electricity in the administrative service centers (CNAPs), we recommend submitting the documents to private notaries, although this is not free. However, it is quick and they can advise on how to correct any deficiencies if they exist;
- Collect the registration certificate;
- Open a bank account and obtain an EDS. The package of documents varies depending on the bank, but the universal package is the presence of all constituent documents. With them, the director comes to the bank - and everything else is up to the bank manager. Of course, you can make everything beautiful so that the meeting is organized and the bank is already waiting for the director. Some banks provide EDS if you open an account there. However, not all do. For the convenience of submitting reports, it's best to obtain an EDS if your bank doesn't provide it. Note: some banks provide such a key, but it is only suitable for working in the online banking of that particular bank;
- If there is a foreign citizen among the founders, they must obtain an individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN) before submitting the LLC registration.
What to choose: LLC, private enterprise, or sole proprietorship?
The choice depends on the nature of the organization's activities and the number of personnel involved. It's important to note that private enterprise (PE) is outdated and is no longer registered. The law on private enterprise lost its force years ago, and for a while, this organizational form wasn't used. However, there's no longer any point in using PE now that the differences with LLC have almost disappeared.
For most small or medium-sized businesses, sole proprietorship (SP) is usually sufficient. However, some types of activities require the creation of a legal entity like LLC, which has specific requirements for the charter and authorized capital. The main advantage of LLC is its ability to be sold quickly if there's no longer a desire to continue running the business.
Registering a company in Ukraine is often the choice of foreign investors who want to conduct their activities in the country in a controlled manner and save the currency. Additionally, LLC allows foreign directors to obtain a residence permit in Ukraine.
Answers to frequently asked questions
What is the size of a shares' capital?
Nowadays there are no any restrictions for sizes of shares' capital according to the laws.
Do we have to form a capital before LLC's registration?
No, you don't have to. According to the law, shares' capital of LLC has to be formed during one year since the moment of registration.
Can person be a director of a few comapnies?
Yes, he or she can. The laws don't regulate this matter and person can be a director of a few companies.
Can person be an establisher/member of more than one LLC?
Yes, he or she can. But share in LLC's capital must be less than 100%. Person, who is owned 100% of LLC's capital in one LLC, can't own 100% of another LLC's capital or establish it. But, practically, it happens.
Do I need to notarize the charter of the LLC at the initial registration?
Yes, You should. According to the Law of Ukraine "On Limited Liability and Additional Liability Companies", which came into force on 17.06.2018, the first version of the company's charter should be signed by all shareholders of the company, and the authenticity of their signatures should be notarized.
Can LLC really operate without a press?
Yeah, maybe. Since 2016, legal entities have the right to work without a seal. However, the articles of association may stipulate that the presence of a seal is mandatory. This is often the case when outdated charter templates, which are until 2016, are used for registration.
Nuances of registering a new legal entity: services for starting a company
The establishment of an LLC is a complex process that requires in-depth legal knowledge and careful adherence to regulatory requirements. To open a company in Ukraine, you must comply with local registration and tax regulations. A newly created business cannot immediately opt for the third group of single tax payers with a 3% income tax rate plus value-added tax (VAT). This tax rate can only be chosen from the next quarter. From the day of registration, the business can only become a single tax payer with a 5% income tax rate.
