A Ukrainian company for your business

A limited liability company (TOV / LLC) is a common structure for privately owned businesses and subsidiaries in Ukraine. Plan registration around the proposed activities, ownership, management and practical local operating arrangements.

01 / COMPANY TYPE

Limited liability company (TOV)

A TOV can generally have one or more individual or corporate founders, including foreign owners. Eligibility, regulated activities, investment restrictions and due diligence must be reviewed for the proposed business.

02 / SHARE CAPITAL

Capital determined by the founders

There is no general statutory minimum capital for a standard TOV; founders determine the amount and contribution arrangements in line with the applicable rules. Regulated activities may have separate capital requirements. Capital is separate from service fees.

03 / LOCAL REQUIREMENTS

Ukrainian registered office

Plan a registered address in Ukraine, appropriate director appointments and the required founding documents. Foreign participants may need Ukrainian identification details, translated documents and certification. Work-permit requirements for foreign management need separate review.

Tax & ongoing compliance

The standard corporate income tax rate is 18%; certain sectors and special regimes have different rules. Accounting, financial statements and applicable tax, VAT, payroll and company reporting require ongoing attention. Current registration arrangements, banking, currency controls and payment availability must be reviewed for the proposed operations.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before you begin

Can foreign founders own a Ukrainian company?

Foreign individuals and corporate founders can generally own a TOV in full, including a single-member company. Eligibility, regulated activities, applicable restrictions and due diligence must be assessed individually.

What is the minimum capital for a TOV?

There is no general statutory minimum capital for a standard TOV. Founders choose the amount and contribution arrangements under the applicable company rules. Specific regulated activities may require additional capital.

Does the company need a Ukrainian address?

Yes. Plan a registered address in Ukraine and appropriate management appointments. Founding documents and any activity-specific permissions must match the intended operations.

Can a foreign founder work as the director?

Foreign ownership and permission to work are separate matters. A foreign director may require a work permit and appropriate immigration status, depending on the circumstances and applicable exemptions. Confirm these requirements before arranging the appointment and employment.

Can registration and banking be completed entirely remotely?

The available route depends on the founders, identification, signing authority and current local procedures. Powers of attorney, translations or personal attendance may be needed. Banks independently review eligibility, business purpose and documents; account opening is not guaranteed.

What ongoing obligations should I plan for?

Maintain accounting and corporate records, prepare financial statements and complete applicable tax and company reporting. Keep registry and beneficial-ownership particulars current. VAT, payroll, audit, licensing and cross-border payment requirements depend on the business and current rules.
