LLC Registration in Ukraine 2026: Cost, Documents, Timelines

In 2026 you can register an LLC in 10 minutes online — under the model charter via Diia, or classically, through a state registrar or notary. We break down both methods, the documents, timelines and real cost step by step.

Two ways to register an LLC

• Online via Diia under the model charter — the fastest option. You fill in the form, choose the model charter options and sign the application with an electronic signature. The system forms and files the documents itself. If all founders are Ukrainian-citizen individuals and the head has no restrictions, the LLC is registered automatically, in about 10 minutes.
• With a custom charter — through a state registrar or notary. Suitable when individual terms are needed (share distribution, management procedure, restrictions on transfer). Registration takes place within 1 business day.

For a standard business the model charter is usually enough, and a custom one is needed when there are several partners and it is important to set the rules “on the shore”. Which to choose — we compare in detail in the article on the LLC charter: model or custom.

How much registering an LLC costs

The main thing to know: the state registration of an LLC’s formation is free — no administrative fee is charged for it. Costs arise only for accompanying steps, and not always. Here is what the real budget consists of:

So if you are a Ukrainian citizen, register on your own under the model charter via Diia and already have a registered address, registration will cost nothing. Costs appear when a custom charter is needed or foreigners are involved. Turnkey registration with preparation of all documents at Fidem Moris is from UAH 6,200, and it guarantees you pass on the first try, without refusals.

Step-by-step procedure

• Step 1. The founders adopt a decision to form the LLC. With a single founder it is a written decision; with several — the minutes of the founding meeting.
• Step 2. You choose the charter: model (standard, from the state) or custom.
• Step 3. You prepare the package of documents and details of the ownership structure and ultimate beneficiary.
• Step 4. You file the documents — online via Diia, with a registrar or a notary.
• Step 5. You receive a USR extract (available within a few business days after registration with the tax and statistics authorities).

Documents required

• an application for state registration of a legal entity’s formation (prescribed form);
• the founder’s decision or the founding-meeting minutes;
• the charter (custom) or a reference to the model one;
• details of the ownership structure and the ultimate beneficial owner (UBO);
• passports and tax numbers of the founders (for foreigners — with a notarised translation);
• confirmation of the registered address — a lease agreement or the owner’s consent.

Charter capital and beneficiary

The law sets no minimum charter capital — it is determined by the founders themselves (it may even be symbolic). At the same time, details of the ultimate beneficial owner and the ownership structure are mandatory — without them registration will be refused.
