WHAT MATTERS

What has to be decided at the start

Legal form

Sole trader or LLC

Different liability, taxes and possibilities. A sole trader is liable with all their property, an LLC only up to the contributions. A mistake at the start is an expensive rebuild later.

Taxes

The group is chosen to fit the activity

The single-tax groups have income limits and restrictions on activities and counterparties. The wrong choice means extra tax, or being thrown out of the group.

Activity codes

The codes define what you can do

A missing activity code means the bank may block payments and the tax office may ask questions. We add everything you need at once, with room to grow.

The information is stated in general terms. Precise recommendations come from looking at what your business actually does.

CHECKLIST

Before registering: 5 decisions

01

Decide who the founders are and who will manage the company. For an LLC this goes into the charter and shapes every decision that follows.

02

Choose the form: a sole trader business is simpler and cheaper to run, an LLC gives limited liability and more standing with partners.

03

Work out the tax cost for your model: single tax or the general system, with VAT or without. It affects your prices and your clients.

04

List the activities you do now and plan to do later: it is better to add the codes at once than to file changes afterwards.

05

Prepare the documents: passport, tax number, an address for registration. For an LLC: details of all the founders and the amount of the share capital.

CLEAR AND STEP BY STEP

How we work

01

Consultation and choice of form

We go through what you do and what you are planning. We advise on the form, the tax model and the activity codes for your particular business.

02

Preparing the documents

We draft the applications, the charter and the minutes. All you have to do is sign: mistakes and refilings are ruled out.

03

Filing and registration

We file with the state registrar, follow the process and collect the result. Usually 1 to 2 working days.

04

Tax office, bank, launch

Single-tax application, the electronic tax cabinet, opening an account. You end up with a business ready to trade.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Frequently asked questions about registration

It depends on your activity, turnover, partners and risks. A sole trader business is simpler and cheaper, but you are liable with all your property. An LLC gives limited liability, allows several founders and looks more solid to large clients. At the consultation we cost both options for your case.

A sole trader business is usually registered in 1 working day, an LLC in 1 to 2 days once the documents are ready. Registering for the single tax and opening an account take a few days more.

The groups differ in income limits, rates and who you are allowed to sell to. The wrong choice costs money or your taxpayer status. We choose the group to fit your model at the consultation.

Yes. Registration can be done remotely: with a qualified electronic signature or under a power of attorney. We handle clients from other cities and from abroad entirely online.

Registering for the single tax (the deadlines are tight), the electronic taxpayer cabinet, a bank account, and where needed a cash register and the basic contracts. All of that is covered by the start package.

There is no limit. We add the main code and the related ones with room to grow: changes are possible later too, but it is simpler to plan ahead.

OUR EXPERIENCE

Examples of registrations

✓ LAUNCHED IN A DAY

Sole trader registered in one day

Situation: a handmade craftswoman was coming out of the grey economy to sell on marketplaces and did not know where to start.

Actions: we chose the single-tax group and the activity codes for online trade, prepared the documents and filed them.

Result: the sole trader business was registered in a day, the account opened, and payments could be taken legally.

✓ LLC, FULL SERVICE

A charter that protects the partners

Situation: three partners were launching a business together and wanted the rules of the game set down fairly.

Actions: we drafted a charter with a decision-making procedure, the split of shares and a mechanism for a member to exit.

Result: the LLC was registered and the partners were protected against corporate conflicts from day one.

✓ REMOTELY

Registration from abroad

Situation: a client living abroad wanted to open a sole trader business in Ukraine to work with Ukrainian customers.

Actions: we arranged a qualified electronic signature, prepared the documents and carried out the registration entirely online.

Result: the business is running and paying tax, and the client never once travelled to Ukraine.

Cases are anonymised. Every case is individual, the outcome depends on the specific circumstances and is not guaranteed.
