Choosing the last strategy, you do not need to incorporate your own company or register a representative office in Ukraine but need to be sure that your service provider (FOP) has a bank business account and has chosen an appropriate taxation form.

  • Which type of economic activity to choose according to Classifier of Economic Activities (KVED).

  • Opening the bank account and authorized capital payment

  • Employment of a foreigner as a director
