Shelf companies in Ukraine

A shelf company is an LLC registered years ago, with filed reports and a continuous record in the Unified State Register. Its age reads from the registration date in the USR, and banks, contracting authorities and counterparties look at that date. Legal Solutions, a Kyiv law firm, sells aged companies itself: tell us the year and the task, and we send options with the EDRPOU code after our checks.

What an aged company gives the buyer

Documented experience of performing a similar contract is one of the qualification criteria a contracting authority may set in Ukrainian public procurement (art. 16 part 2, Law of Ukraine No. 922-VIII).

A company registered years ago brings a registration date that cannot be created again, a history of filed reports and, in some cases, contracts that confirm experience. The registration date is part of the USR record and anyone can check it by the EDRPOU code. Legal Solutions, Kyiv, checks the history before the deal and runs the share transfer.

Terms used on this page

Shelf company
a company registered earlier and kept for sale, or an operating company whose participants sell it. In Ukraine it is an LLC (TOV) or a private enterprise (PP) with its own EDRPOU code and registration date.
Corporate rights
the rights of a person whose share is fixed in the charter capital: participation in management, a share of profit and a share of assets on liquidation (art. 167 Commercial Code of Ukraine).
Unified State Register (USR)
the register of legal entities kept by the Ministry of Justice. Its data is open and free of charge (art. 11 Law No. 755-IV) at usr.minjust.gov.ua.

Why buyers need the age of a company

Tenders. A contracting authority chooses its qualification criteria from the list in art. 16 part 2 Law No. 922-VIII: equipment, qualified staff and documented experience of a similar contract. Experience from three years ago can only be shown by a company that existed three years ago. The exact requirement of each procurement is in its tender documents.

Counterparties. Before a first deal a counterparty reads the USR extract: registration date, history of directors and participants, address, activity codes. A company with a continuous record since the 2000s and one registered last week look different there.

Banks. When a bank reviews a credit application, it studies the reports for previous periods, account turnover and the lifetime of the borrower. Each bank sets its own rules; we read them for the specific programme and make no promises on behalf of a bank.

Licences. The licensee in the register is the legal entity, so a sale of corporate rights keeps the licence. After the deal the licensee notifies the licensing authority of the changed data within one month, and the licence stays valid (art. 15 part 2 Law No. 222-VIII).

What comes with the history

Obligations. A legal entity is liable for its obligations with all its property (art. 96 part 1 Civil Code of Ukraine). Debts, enforcement proceedings, court cases and tax debt stay with the company after a change of participants. A longer history means a longer list to check before any payment.

Tax periods. The tax authority may assess a tax liability within 1095 days of the filing of a return (item 102.1 art. 102 Tax Code of Ukraine), and primary documents are kept for at least 1095 days (item 44.3 art. 44 Tax Code). For this reason the acceptance deed for the company’s documents is signed together with the share transfer deed: primary documents, filed reports, e-signature keys and the seal.

Contracts. Existing contracts continue, since the party to them is the same legal entity. We check them for change-of-control clauses and look for disputes from previous years in the Unified State Register of Court Decisions.

Charter. The charter may make a sale of a share to a third party subject to the consent of the other participants (art. 21 part 2 Law No. 2275-VIII). We read it before preparing the documents.

How the deal runs

The state registrar reviews the documents within 24 hours of filing, excluding weekends and public holidays (art. 26 part 1 item 1 Law No. 755-IV). A longer history adds time to the checks before the deal; the registration itself takes the same time.

Questions about aged companies

A new company gets today’s registration date and has no filed reports. A bank looks at the lifetime and the financial reports of a borrower, and a contracting authority may require documented experience of a similar contract (art. 16 part 2 Law No. 922-VIII). An aged company brings both, together with its EDRPOU code.
