Sole proprietor and LLC registration
Pick the form and the approach, and get either a step-by-step self-guide or turnkey registration. Remotely, online with a qualified e-signature.
You can register a sole proprietor yourself. Here are the basic guardrails (not a step-by-step) and the places beginners trip up most often.
What it involves
- Pick activity codes (main and additional) that match what you actually do
- Choose the single-tax group (1, 2 or 3), it drives your limits and hiring options
- File the registration application (Diia / ASC / registrar) and at the same time the simplified-system application
- Handle the personal social contribution, sole-proprietor account, PRRO and income ledger
- Forgot to file the single-tax application, and landed on the general system
- Picked an activity code banned for simplified taxpayers: grounds for cancellation
- Ignored social-contribution and wartime specifics: debt piled up
- Skipped the check for old tax debts: they surfaced right after registration

How we get started
In 20 minutes we cover the essentials: how many founders, what your plans are, who your counterparties are, expected revenue. The output is a reasoned recommendation: sole proprietor or LLC.
We pick the tax regime (single-tax group or general system, with or without VAT) and register activity codes for today and for the next 2–3 years.
We draft applications, the charter, founders' decisions and protocols, right the first time, without "please refile this".
We submit through the state registers online. You get an EDR extract in 1–5 business days depending on the form of the business.
Frequently asked questions
How long does registration take?
Sole proprietor — from 1 business day, LLC — from 3–5 business days once documents are ready.
Do I need to be in Kyiv?
No. Everything is done remotely, with a qualified e-signature we file online.
Can a foreigner register a company?
Yes. A foreign citizen or company can found an LLC in Ukraine, and a foreigner with a residence permit can register as a sole proprietor (FOP). We prepare the documents and guide you through registration in English.
How much does a turnkey registration cost?
A fixed price for the package: registration + activity codes + regime choice + document pack. Bank account opening and e-signature are paid separately at the bank's and CA's rates. We quote the total after a short consultation.
Can we change the activity codes later?
Yes, at any time via the state registrar. But each change is a separate procedure and time, so it is smarter to register broader codes upfront.
What about VAT registration?
VAT registration is a separate procedure. It is mandatory once revenue exceeds UAH 1M in 12 months, and voluntary at any volume. We explain when it is worth doing and either register you at the same time or later.
