Company Formation and Registration for Foreigners in Ukraine
Registering a company with a foreign founder means establishing a Ukrainian business owned by foreign individuals or legal entities. This type of company formation has a number of specific legal and procedural requirements, as its founders and owners are non-residents. Our specialists provide comprehensive assistance with company registration and have extensive experience in establishing businesses for clients from many countries.

One of the most suitable legal structures for foreign-owned businesses is a limited liability company (LLC). An LLC is a separate legal entity whose founders may be foreign individuals or foreign legal entities that contribute all or part of its share capital. The company enjoys the same rights as comparable Ukrainian companies under Ukrainian law and may conduct business activities, enter into contracts, and employ personnel.
A company's share capital may be formed in three ways: in cash as an investment (creating capital that can be used to pay for office premises, equipment, salaries, and contractual obligations). Once used, the capital may be replenished on an ongoing basis and in any amount — one of the options that may be used in structuring VAT-related transactions. Ukrainian legislation does not establish a statutory maximum or minimum amount of share capital; it may also be contributed in the form of property (equipment, furniture, software); or as a combination of cash and property. The company's director may be a Ukrainian citizen or a foreign national who has the right to reside in Ukraine; otherwise, the appropriate work permit must be obtained.
