Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to increase or reduce an LLC's share capital in Ukraine?
The cost depends on the number of participants, whether the charter is a standard template or custom, and whether a notary or valuation is needed for in-kind contributions; the state fee for filing changes with the Unified State Register (USR) is 0 UAH when filed via Diia on a model charter, so the main cost is legal and notarial services. Contact us in Lviv for an exact quote based on your company's structure.
What documents are required to change an LLC's share capital?
You need the participants' or general meeting's decision on the capital change, an updated charter or amendments to it, confirmation of the contribution (bank statement, property valuation act for in-kind contributions), and, for capital reduction, proof of creditor notification as required under Ukrainian law. Notarized signatures are required if the founder is a foreigner submitting a paper application, though most changes can be filed electronically via Diia without notarization.
How long does it take to register a change in share capital with the state registrar?
The state registrar reviews and enters changes to the Unified State Register within 24 hours of a complete, correctly filed application submitted through Diia, a notary, or the Administrative Service Center (TsNAP); delays typically occur only when documents are incomplete or a valuation is contested. Preparing the decision and updated charter in advance keeps the process on this timeline.
Can a foreign founder or investor increase or reduce share capital remotely?
Yes — a foreign participant can approve a capital change and sign documents via a power of attorney issued to a representative in Ukraine, or in person using Diia.Signature or a qualified electronic signature after registering with the State Migration Service (SMS) or obtaining a Ukrainian taxpayer identification number; physical presence in Lviv is not required for most filings. We coordinate the power of attorney, translation, and registrar filing on the client's behalf.
Does share capital reduction require notifying creditors, and what happens if it's skipped?
Yes, under Ukrainian law on limited liability companies the LLC must notify all known creditors of a capital reduction and ensure the required public notice is made in connection with the registration filing; skipping this step exposes the company and its participants to creditor claims for early repayment or damages and can be grounds to challenge the registration. We handle the creditor notification and registrar filing to keep the reduction legally valid.
