Company Registration FAQ
Questions about registering a Ukrainian LLC as a Bangladeshi founder.
Can I register a Ukrainian company without being in Ukraine?
Yes — via a notarised and apostilled power of attorney granted to a Ukrainian lawyer or representative. The POA is prepared in Bangladesh, apostilled by the MFA, and shipped to Ukraine.
How much capital do I need to register a Ukrainian LLC?
There is no statutory minimum share capital for a standard Ukrainian TOV registration. A nominal amount is recorded in the charter, but it does not need to be deposited before registration.
Can a Ukrainian company give me residence status?
Yes — as a founder and director of an active Ukrainian company, you can apply for a TRP on business grounds. The company must demonstrate genuine activity at renewal. A dormant company is not a valid continuing ground.
Do I need a Ukrainian bank account for the company?
Yes — for operational purposes. Opening a corporate bank account as a foreign national requires in-person appearance at most Ukrainian banks, or a qualified representative with power of attorney. Some neo-banks and smaller financial institutions have more flexible procedures.
What taxes does a Ukrainian LLC pay?
A standard TOV pays 18% corporate income tax plus 1.5% military levy (applicable from 2014 onwards). A simplified taxation system (3% or 5%) is available for companies below the turnover threshold. VAT registration is optional under threshold.
