Defined legal service
Sole-trader and NGO registration; charter amendments
Legal preparation for a specific registration action, founder decision or charter change. A Ukrainian sole trader, a civic association and an existing legal entity require different documents.
The problem you need to resolve
- you plan to register a Ukrainian sole trader and identify the next legal steps
- you are forming a civic association or changing its charter, management or register details
What you receive
- an action and document list for the chosen organisational form
- an agreed application, decision or charter draft and pre-filing checks
What we do
- review the questionnaire, deadlines and agreed document list
- separate verified facts from assumptions and define the legal objective
- For a sole trader, identify activities, classification codes, filing options and separate tax or permit issues.
- For an NGO, review founders, purpose, founding minutes, charter, governing bodies and legal-entity status.
- For amendments, compare the current charter, decision-making powers and the register entries that must change.
- Prepare agreed applications, decisions or charter wording and identify signatories, notarisation and filing steps. Filing support is separately agreed.
What we need from you
- proposed activities and changes
- current charter, register extract and previous decisions where applicable
- founder, management and signatory details after the conflict check
- tax-status information and any registration refusal
- answer focused follow-up questions and verify the factual information
- do not send a full set of sensitive documents before the conflict-of-interest check and agreement of a protected channel
Fees
- Fees depend on the facts and scope of support. After a short discussion, we explain what the work includes and its cost. Fees are agreed before work begins.
- A possible first stage is a written action plan: review of agreed documents, legal assessment, next steps, deadlines, risks and alternatives.
- Additional objectives, extensive materials and foreign-language documents are discussed separately.
- Court fees and other mandatory payments are separate from the lawyer's fee. Notarial, translation, valuation and expert costs are also agreed separately.
What may change the route
- objections or new claims from another party
- missing, inconsistent or newly received documents
- the need for valuation, expert evidence, a notarial or registration step
- existing court or enforcement proceedings, a missed or imminent deadline
When this service is not suitable
- registration does not replace licensing, permits or bookkeeping
- an NGO’s non-profit tax status requires separate assessment; registration alone does not guarantee it
How we report progress
- we agree the communication channel before work begins
- we report receipt of materials, completion of the assessment, document readiness and the next required action
- where new facts or extra work arise, we first explain the effect on timing and fees and ask for your approval

Frequently asked questions
Does a sole trader need a charter?
No. Sole-trader registration differs from incorporation of a legal entity.
Can an NGO operate without legal-entity status?
Ukrainian law provides different forms. The required status and notification or registration procedure must be identified first.
Are all later changes included?
The engagement identifies particular entries, decisions and documents. Ongoing administration is not automatically included.
