A Ukrainian beneficial owner, a foreign company and a third country of actual activity or residence form a distinct configuration with its own logic. We build it so that it can be explained to a bank, a tax authority, a notary, an investor and a regulator.
Ukrainian businesses often became international by circumstance rather than by plan: the founder in one country, the team in another, clients in a third and accounts in a fourth. The country of incorporation, the source of income and the owner's residency stop coinciding — and it is precisely that divergence which a bank and a tax authority test.
The practice is led by an advocate of Ukraine based in Germany: the Ukrainian side is understood from within, the European side from where the practice works.
You have relocated while the company, team or assets remain — a clear international configuration is needed.
Onboarding or review requires explaining ownership, the business model and the origin of Ukrainian capital.
A transaction in Europe where the notary and the bank check the source of funds.
Moving and structuring capital between Ukraine, the EU and other markets.
The question is not "where is it cheaper" but where the structure will work legally and for banking.
An investor or partner will run due diligence on the Ukrainian business.
The key question is not "where to register a company" but how the beneficial owner's residency, the country of incorporation and the place where decisions are actually taken relate to one another.
Where the owner becomes resident, how that status is determined and what changes when the family moves.
The scope of control, the obligations of a controlling person, reporting and the link to profit distribution.
How the automatic exchange of account information relates to the ownership structure and reporting.
Where decisions on the foreign company are actually taken and whether this is evidenced in documents.
Whether people, authority or negotiations create a permanent establishment in another country.
The logic of distributing profit to the owner: withholding tax, treaties and proof of entitlement to the income.
A separate task is to show the path of capital between the owner, the Ukrainian company and the foreign company so that it can be read by an external review without guesswork.
The history of the origin of funds and wealth, assembled into an explainable and evidenced position.
Preparation for onboarding and responses to compliance queries — without promises on the bank's behalf.
Putting the structure in order in advance, while the change of residency has not yet happened.
Preparing the structure for a deal, an investor entering or moving capital between jurisdictions.
Aligning Ukrainian and European advisers so that their positions do not contradict one another.
Bringing residency, the company, the flows and the documents into one coherent picture.
Through the same formats and expertise as for other clients — but with an understanding of the Ukrainian context: the specifics of documents, the history of capital and how these are read by a European bank or notary.
LEXONYX is not a migration service and does not guarantee a tax outcome or a bank's approval. Where advice on German or other local law is required, the work is carried out in coordination with local counsel. LEXONYX does not replace local regulated advice where that is mandatory.
Where the business is, where you are, which jurisdictions are involved and what the request is — a bank, a deal, a structure or the source of funds. We will determine where to start.
