Sale of a share in the authorized capital by a foreign citizen
Are you a foreign investor planning to sell your share in a Ukrainian company? This is a completely logical step to get your invested money back. But in practice, especially for a non-resident, this task often turns into a real headache. Piles of papers, unclear requirements, legal nuances… Sound familiar? The “BuhalteriO” team is here to help. We will take care of all the paperwork and ensure that your exit from the business is safe and legal.
What is the sale of a share and why is it difficult for a foreigner?
It would seem that selling a share in the authorized capital is a simple formality. But this is not the case. The transaction must strictly comply with the laws of Ukraine, otherwise, it may be declared invalid. And for a foreigner, additional obstacles arise. For example, the mandatory presence of a Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP) and notarized translations of all documents. We at “BuhalteriO” know how to go through this path without unnecessary stress, doing everything quickly and correctly.
Stages of the share sale transaction
For everything to go smoothly, it is important to move step by step. We guide clients according to a proven plan that eliminates errors.
- First, we look at the charter. We carefully study the constituent documents of your LLC to check if there are any restrictions or special conditions for the alienation of a share in the authorized capital.
- We respect the rights of other participants. The law requires that you first offer to sell your share to the other members of the company. We will help you correctly formalize this notification.
- We prepare a reliable contract. We draft a legally sound contract for the purchase and sale of a share in the authorized capital, which takes into account all your interests, the price, and the payment procedure.
- We certify everything with a notary. We organize a meeting with a notary to sign the acceptance and transfer act. This is a mandatory stage.
- We register the changes in the Unified State Register. The final step is to submit the documents to the state registrar to officially record the new owner of the share.
Each of these stages has its own pitfalls. Even one mistake can delay the process for months or even derail the deal. Our lawyers will monitor every detail so you can sleep peacefully.
Package of necessary documents
For us to be able to start work quickly, you will need a basic package of documents. If you prepare them in advance, the process will go much faster.
- Passport with a notarized translation into Ukrainian.
- Your Ukrainian tax number (RNOKPP).
- Consent of your spouse for the transaction (if you are married), also notarized.
- A document confirming your right to the share (for example, the minutes of the founders’ meeting).
We understand that dealing with paperwork, especially with translation and legalization, is a hassle. Therefore, we are ready to help at every step, even with obtaining a tax number.
