Choice of legal form for your company

The first question that we recommend to draw your attention when you are thinking about investing in a business is the choice of an organizational form. Despite the fact that in Ukraine a potential business owner can choose absolutely any form of registration of business with foreign investments, we recommend you opt for a Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as a LLC).

The main reasons why the company should choose a LLC:

1. An important criterion in favor of the registration of the LLC is the reliability and status. Consumers in Ukraine with great confidence treat the product having on its label "LLC" rather than PE (private enterprise) and IE (individual entrepreneur). In addition, your contractors will also be more favorable to cooperate with you, as the statute of a LLC is a marker of the enterprise reliability.

2. One more point should be added in favor of the registration of the LLC: This form is most thoroughly regulated by the law of Ukraine. This means that in every situation you can refer to the letter of the law.

3. It is the registration of a company in such form that enables "to close" the most popular demands of the business owner. These include the possibility of doing business in Ukraine via partners or through a company that is officially registered. As well as the ability to obtain and export earnings, and other requests.

4. Finally, probably one of the most attractive advantages of registration of the LLC is the fact that according to the laws of Ukraine foreign shareholders are not liable for the debts of the enterprise.

Who can be a founder

In Ukraine all legally capable foreign individuals and legal entities may act as a founder of the enterprise with foreign investments. An important document for individuals is the presence of a taxpayer card assigned in Ukraine. If not, our company can perform this service. Note that the registration of foreign enterprises with investments is possible without the personal presence of the founder in Ukraine; such founder requires a notarized power of attorney.

Foreign legal entities can also be founders of enterprises with foreign investments. In turn for registration they need a certificate of registration of the legal entity or an extract from the trade register of the country where the legal entity is registered. And, of course, they need to bring to Ukraine a power of attorney from the head of such foreign company with the right to register.

On the statutory fund of a cmpany

Upon registration of the authorized capital of the company, the founder is allowed to contribute not only a sum of money, but also property (vehicles, office appliances, equipment, etc.). In the case of the formation of investment by cash, the founder cannot directly put money into the account of a newly established foreign-invested enterprise.

Thus, the amount of money can be transferred from the account of a foreign individual abroad or in Ukraine. Or it is possible to put a sum of money in cash to the investor's account, and then transfer it to the account of the enterprise with foreign investments. In this case, the customs declaration confirming import of future investments in the territory of Ukraine is required.

If you seriously think about the registration of the enterprise with foreign investments, you should not rely solely on yourself, or look for suspicious performers. Entrust professionals with registration procedures and it will not take long to see the result!
