Registering an LLC or Sole Proprietorship in Ukraine

Key points in brief A sole proprietorship (FOP) is registered quickly and free of charge, and is usually the simplest way to start a small business. An LLC (TOV) is a separate legal entity with limited liability of its members, suited to partnerships and scaling up. Key decisions before registration: the legal form, types of activity (KVED codes) and the tax system. Mistakes at the start (the wrong KVED code, an unsuitable tax system, a carelessly drafted LLC charter) later cost time and money. A lawyer helps you choose the optimal form and avoid common mistakes. Registering a business is the stage where it matters not just to “file the documents” but to make the right choice from the start. The form (sole proprietorship or LLC), the types of activity and the tax system determine how convenient and profitable your work will be later on. In this article we explain the main things worth knowing before registration. This material is for information only. Conditions and requirements may change, so it is worth checking the current details for your situation. Sole proprietorship or LLC: what is the difference A sole proprietorship (FOP) is the entrepreneurial activity of an individual. Advantages: simple and fast registration, less reporting, free use of income. The downside is that the entrepreneur is liable for obligations with their own property. An LLC (limited liability company) is a separate legal entity. Members are liable within the limits of their contributions, which reduces personal risk. An LLC is more convenient for partnership, attracting investment and scaling up, but it requires more documents and reporting. The choice depends on the scale, the number of partners, growth plans and the level of risk. There is no universally “better” form, only the one that suits you. What to decide before registration The […]

Residential Lease Agreement: What You Need to Know

Key points in brief It is better to conclude a residential lease agreement in writing, even if the landlord offers to “agree verbally”. Be sure to specify: the parties, the address, the term, the amount and procedure of payment, the deposit amount, and the termination conditions. Record the condition of the property and belongings at move-in (an inspection act, photos), this protects against groundless claims. A lease agreement for a term of three years or more is subject to notarization. A written agreement protects both the tenant and the owner: it makes the arrangements clear and provable. Renting housing “on friendly terms”, without an agreement, often ends in conflict: either the deposit is not returned, or the owner asks you to move out within a few days, or the tenant damages the property. A written agreement removes most of these risks. In this article we explain what a residential lease agreement should contain and what to pay attention to before signing. This material is for informational purposes. In a specific situation, the terms should be agreed upon taking your circumstances into account, together with a lawyer if needed. Why you need a written agreement Verbal arrangements are hard to prove. If a dispute arises over the amount, the term or the return of the deposit, without a written agreement each party will claim its own version. A written document records the arrangements clearly and serves as evidence. This is in the interest of both parties, not only the owner. What must be set out in the agreement Parties. Full details of the landlord and the tenant. Object. The exact address and description of the housing. Term. The period for which the agreement is concluded. Payment. The amount, date and method of payment. Deposit. The amount, grounds for retention and procedure […]
