Business without legal barriers

Any business starts with an idea and the development of a legal framework for operation. Entrepreneurship is a process of decision-making and actions to implement a business idea. In today’s rapidly changing market and political environment, it is nearly impossible to achieve positive results from business activities without planning specific actions for implementing business operations and forecasting their future outcomes.

Therefore, the optimal approach is to run a business based on a business plan. For example, if you plan to set up a production line for manufacturing a specific product, you need to consider whether you will use revolving funds such as a bank loan, or whether you will operate the business alone or with partners. Additionally, you will face questions about purchasing equipment for production, acquiring or renting a production facility, hiring employees, paying their salaries, ensuring safe working conditions, and paying taxes. It is clear that all these matters, aside from the business components, require legally significant actions. For instance, raising funds through a bank requires the signing of a loan agreement and a security agreement (mortgage, guarantee). Business relationships with partners, such as the process for making joint decisions or distributing profits, should be regulated in the company’s charter. The purchase of equipment requires a sales contract, while renting production space requires an appropriate lease agreement. Hiring workers to manufacture the products involves signing employment contracts, ensuring workplace safety, paying salaries, and handling tax obligations.

Moreover, certain types of business activities require prior approval from government authorities, as well as obtaining licenses and permits. Therefore, implementing any large-scale business project will inevitably require considering certain limitations and features prescribed by several branches of law, such as simultaneously complying with the rules set forth by commercial, banking, and tax law. Thus, every business plan should be supported by a legally crafted operational framework, as a legally structured business strategy is essential for mitigating risks and successfully implementing a business idea.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much time is required to prepare a legal workflow?

The time required to develop each legal workflow depends on the complexity and scope of the business issue for which the workflow is to be prepared. Of course, a legal workflow for implementing a specific business transaction, such as purchasing collateralized real estate from a bank, will address fewer issues and require less time to prepare than a legal workflow for establishing an agricultural production and trading enterprise from scratch.

What services are included in the development of a legal business model?

The development of a legal business model involves creating a corporate governance system to protect the rights of business owners, as well as preparing the company’s statutory documents in line with its goals and the specifics of its activities. Lawyers will assist in selecting the optimal tax system (either the general or simplified system according to the requirements of current Ukrainian legislation and depending on the chosen type of business activity and organizational-legal form of operation).

 

Legal expertise and consulting can also be provided regarding the restructuring of an existing corporate structure (amendments to statutory documents, changes to the charter capital, name, location, re-election of management bodies, and opening or closing branches and representative offices).

 

The development of a legal business model also includes supporting the creation and registration of legal entities or, conversely, the liquidation of existing legal entities for certain reasons, such as joint-stock companies, limited liability companies, private enterprises, cooperatives, and public organizations.

Who needs services for developing a legal business model?

Services for developing a legal business model are essential for those who have just decided to start their own business. Our lawyers, after listening to and analyzing the client’s ideas about their future business, will help choose the most suitable organizational-legal form for the enterprise, based on legal norms and legal practice. This could be a limited liability company, a joint-stock company, a private enterprise, or another form provided by current legislation (Civil Code of Ukraine, Commercial Code of Ukraine, Laws of Ukraine “On Joint-Stock Companies,” “On Limited and Additional Liability Companies,” “On Cooperation”).

 

It is also important to carefully choose the types of business activities. A full list of these activities can be found in the Classification of Economic Activities, approved by the order of the State Committee of Ukraine on Technical Regulation and Consumer Policy dated 11.10.2010, No. 457. The choice of economic activity will also affect the tax system. The next step involves carrying out all the necessary actions, general meetings, preparing statutory documents and applications, and submitting them to the state registrar. This issue is regulated by the Law of Ukraine “On State Registration of Legal Entities, Individual Entrepreneurs, and Public Associations.”

 

Services for developing a legal business model can also be useful for already registered enterprises that have not fully determined their tax system or want to optimize taxation. They may also need help resolving other legal issues, such as amending the company’s operational documentation (changing the organizational-legal form or types of activities, changing the name or the director).
