    Business in Ukraine - Culture

    Doing business in Ukraine is different from business in other countriesincluding the USA, England, Germany and other northern and centralEuropean countries. Here we see that foreign expatriates say about

    how the business culture in Ukraine differs from other countries. Donot be surprised that most comments here are negative. Culture ofUkraine are naturally very oriented production, and may not be theeasiest place to do business, but Ukraine has other virtues - forexample, is a great place to make friends, meet interesting people,and have fun.

    Accuracy and reliability in UkraineForeigners in Ukraine find that it is too late is the norm for theUkrainians. Arriving five minutes late to a meeting or a meeting isusually considered a perfectly fine.This feature can cause aggravation between foreign and Ukrainianbusiness partners. Foreigners usually adjust to the lack of consistencyover time and eventually reach the other side of the fence is late for abusiness meeting with a foreign partner themselves and surprise theother person "deep irritation."This is a sign that cultural adaptation is on trackIn Ukraine, meeting cancellations and rescheduling often, often at thelast moment. Therefore, it is always a good idea to confirm meetings.On the other hand, the confirmation of a meeting, you are giving yourbusiness partner a convenient opportunity to restructure.

    Sense of personal responsibilityA fundamental difference between Ukrainian and western culture "isthat Westerners tend to assume a greater amount of individualresponsibility and rely somewhat less on the teams, while the oppositeis true in Ukraine. If doing business in Ukraine, can be used to"external forces" always getting in the way of working partners andkeeping them from their responsibilities and expectations. A commonculprit is government institutions that draw out bureaucratic issues orunexpected demand additional paperwork and formalities. Oftenorganizations of Ukraine to anticipate problems, but hope for the bestand do not warn their members of possible difficulties to be ongoing.I do not know any way to avoid this problem. My advice is to takesimple initial hopes and promises with a grain of salt, realizing that the

    Ukrainian company and the government is full of unexpected "colors"that get in the way we do things quickly and efficiently.

    How important is Personal connections in Ukraine?To manage their affairs in a society that is always in a state of semi-

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    9/53

    confusion due to inadequate and unreasonable regulatory systems,Ukrainians rely on the power of personal contact. The contacts ingovernment institutions particularly prized as the relationship betweengovernment and business are often competitive. Moreover, theUkrainians prefer holding meetings in person to discuss business and joint resolutions and conference phone and online discussions are

    now commonly used in the West. Maybe Ukrainians have a right topreference in person meetings; Only the person may be the intentionsand credibility of a sufficiently judge others "and to the resolution.Ukrainians pay more attention to emotional aspects of communicationrather than excluding them from the business, as in many Westerncountries. Many foreigners find this a waste of time, but still fun!

    Interaction with the Ukrainian government bodiesThe different kind of relationship between government and business in

    Ukraine is one of the biggest obstacles to greater Western investmentin the country. Of course, bureaucracy is bureaucracy in every countryand in Ukraine (as well as Russia and some other countries)government and business play games together. Different governmentagencies often have overlapping areas of responsibility and haveconflicting instructions and policies. Control and regulation of entitiesare often unpredictable act, based on rules that nobody else knows.We often hear the word "non transparent" with regard to the Ukrainiangovernment processes. What does this mean? This means that the

    rules and principles of government bodies comply with the dischargeof their functions are poorly formulated and not available to thegeneral public. This lack of formal, laid-in-stone information ismaddening to many Ukrainian businessmen and foreigners. Even if itseems that the rules should be recorded, "evidence" (or "colors," whatthey want to say in Ukraine ), such as selecting agents office hours,availability of necessary forms, and more than expected lines caneasily throw everything in unison. It seems that nothing has been doneto make the system work more smoothly and efficiently. Western

    businessmen often know exactly what changes should be made to thesystem to make our lives easier, but never made. What is the reason?

    The immediate reason seems to be that all these contradictions,redundancies, and the disruption that allows government agencies tokeep businesses and citizens in a state of uncertainty andsubmissiveness that can exploit for their own benefit, if necessary .Historically, different types of corruption has flourished in Ukraine, andcompanies are forced to seek personal relationships with officers ofgovernment for their safety and access to information. In most westerncountries are usually not critical to the success of companies inperson to have good contacts in government agencies. In Ukraine it is.This situation often seem threatening and dangerous for Westerners,

    and it's really hard to adjust. To effectively run a large company inUkraine, should be adapted to existing communication styles, to someextent, even if you feel like you are "compromising your principles."Remember - they come from your upbringing and can not be absolute,like you used to think.

    Leadership style in UkraineForeigners from the West will find some different styles of leadershipin Ukrainian organizations. The Ukrainians do not take personalresponsibility so easily and west of society which prepares them forleadership roles from kindergarten up. After becoming a leader, manyUkrainians become more authoritarian and change their attitudetowards their colleagues, who themselves have an ingrainedsubservient attitude toward authority - a well known feature ofUkrainians, especially the Russians.

    Among the Western entrepreneurs, democratic and fair leadershipstyle is definitely more common, and leaders are more likely todelegate. In Ukraine, the leaders tend to focus more decision-makingin the hands of their faith and allegiance to demand their employees inconjunction with work-related skills. In the new capitalist Ukraine,many employers resort to exhaustive and aggressive interrogationtechniques designed to weed out "weak" potential employees who cannot take the heat or pressure dislike.

    Job search and discrimination in UkraineIt is common for vacancies in Ukraine to determine the age andgender of potential employees. Fortunately, she and other personalinformation such as marital status given to the top of the CVs ofvirtually all Ukrainians. In the new economic realities of post-SovietUkraine, many people find it almost impossible to find work after 45.Furthermore, discrimination against the new job, married women arecommon, and sometimes women even asked if you plan on havingchildren soon to job interviews. Of course, such questions are quite

    reasonable from the employer side's point of view, but the grids withWestern ethical sense "and modern ideas of human rights. With moretraditional values of Ukraine, discrimination is often not treated withthe same disgust, as in the U.S.Western business people often encounter interesting situations whenthey come over to Ukraine to do business. On the one hand, businesspartners, we must treat them as equals, to perform the necessarytasks. On the other hand, social etiquette demands facing the woman"like a woman" sort of all gestures typical macho-or special grace anda more emotional approach than usual. Effective entrepreneurs knowhow to use this to their advantage them, instead of taking constantattack. If your colleagues use may be called "manipulation" tactics,have every right to deal in return, feigning supreme gratitude opens

    doors for you and show sympathy for you around their subordinates .

    Industrial relations in UkraineBesides the organizations strains tyrannize their employees, relationsbetween Ukrainians in the workplace tend to be slightly warmer andmore openly emotional than Protestant western countries where

    distances and are the rule. The workers usually celebrate theirbirthdays at work by colleagues to treat chocolate, champagne, cake,or even more elaborate buffets, and companies often allocate themoney spent on birthday gifts for employees. Ukrainians tend to makeemotional bonds and easily find comradery and moral support in theiremployment.Labour and business in UkraineThis section contains a mix of useful services and practical informationfor those interested in working, doing business and investing in

    Ukraine. The information and services presented here are reallyhelpful - just read this story.These days many people from the West and the East as interested incoming to Ukraine to work and do business. Hundreds or thousands ofexpatriates already living and working here successfully. Despite thefact that each person has his own reasons for coming to Ukraine towork, there seem several reasons:Ukraine seems to be on your way to becoming a European country,

    which means that over the next decades the country will require

    extensive economic and infrastructure development. If the newgovernment * makes good on campaign promises, Ukraine will soonbecome a more attractive place to do business.* I wrote this before Yanukovich became prime minister!Many foreign men interested in meeting and marrying the women of

    Ukraine, and come here to work and live for a time seems to be agreat way to meet people in a natural environment, and to experiencethe culture and language .The students in Russia and Ukraine see Ukraine as a good place to

    gain work experience and language for a future career related toEastern Europe.Ukraine, with the low [but rising] cost of living, economic transition,

    and "back" of society (from a Western point of view), seems to attractadventurous soulslooking for a new kind of lifestyle.Getting a job in UkraineOne way to come to Ukraine and make a decent living is to teachEnglish or another foreign language. We have created a specialdepartment to help you do this and save you much time. Some kind ofcertification or teaching experience is usually required, so I suggestyou get an online certificate teaching English (after taking an onlinecourse of instruction) in a region like www.onlinetefl.com

    Another way is to get a job with an international company or agencythat hires foreigners. Everyone dreams of going to work in Ukraineand earning a Western salary doing the same thing they do at home.However, such exposures are difficult to find and are usually notwidely advertised. Many international companies seeking foreignworkers through their branches abroad, with no posting job

    advertisements on the Internet. If the intention of finding a job with aninternational company, companies find contact information on theInternet and write to tell them what you want and what yourqualifications. They resume ready to send. Many companies areforever on the lookout for good, qualified. To persisent, and perhapsyou will find something eventually, if you are really qualified and havesomething to offer the organization.To hire a foreign citizen legally, Ukrainian employers must apply for awork permit. In the past, this requirement was often ignored, but not

    anymore. To get a work permit, the company must prove that yourwork can be done by a Ukrainian. The process of obtaining a permitfrom the city employment office can be difficult. I've heard ofcompanies getting foreign work permits as "translators" even thoughthere is to do completely different work, as foreign uniqueness as anative compiler is easier to prove. Some companies are still payingforeign workers under the table, but this can not be a good long termstrategy. However, you may be able to register as a privatebusinessman (and pay taxes in Ukraine!) The final application for

    permanent residency, which is basically the equivalent of a U.S."green card" that allows you to work and live on the same grounds ascitizens of Ukraine.- More work permits by PriceWaterhouse Cooper

    Creating your own business in Ukraine

    Another option is to create your own business and register. Although

    the law requires a work permit to work for someone else, you work for

    yourself with the same rights as Ukrainian. Foreigners have createdmany successful business language teaching, bars and nightclubs,

    and even publishers. Starting up a business can be difficult if you do

    not Ukraine or Russia and Ukraine have not for ages. You can create

    your own or use the expensive services of several law firms in English

    (French, German, etc.) speaking lawyers. Also, we strongly

    recommend my friend, who is a private legal consultant and can

    provide all the same services but at a more reasonable price.Learn about registration as a private businessman here

    - Historically, the investment climate in Ukraine has gone up and down

    and has not yet been sufficiently attractive to bring in the necessary

    amounts of capital from the developed world. Factors commonly

    referred to as factors that hinder investment in Ukraine is poor legal

    protection of investment, corruption and double standards, and

    unclear or contradictory legislature. The situation will not likely change

    for the better in the near future, as these factors are deeply rooted in

    the system and mentality. This makes investment in Ukraine

    unpredictable, but potentially very lucrative, because the economy is

    growing at a rate above the European average.

    Ukraine Real Estate

    -

    How to participate in the burgeoning real estate market of Ukraine

    Main materials written in November 2005

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    14/53

    - Many foreign visitors to Ukraine are well aware that the property

    market in Ukraine has grown rapidly. Apartment prices in Kiev and

    other major Ukrainian cities have "gone through the roof" in the past

    several years. Happy indeed, investors who bought real estate

    (apartments) in cities of Ukraine in the early '90s for a few thousanddollars and have seen their property increase in value by an average

    of 20-40% a year ago. Add to that revenues from the rental apartment

    and have a very profitable advantage!

    - Many investors decided to enter the market of Ukraine since the

    Orange Revolution (November-December 2004), which showed that

    the country has strong democratic and European orientation, and will

    probably continue to move in that direction. As we see below, theacquisition of real estate in Ukraine is not difficult.

    Property, assessment models

    - Property assessment began in early 1990 after the Ukrainian

    economy hit bottom and was particularly strong in Kiev, Odessa, Lviv,

    Dnepropetrovsk and other cities. Shortly thereafter, the value in resort

    areas of the Crimea began climbing, and now real estate prices in

    Yalta are often even more than in Ukraine's capital Kiev. In the late'90s began rising property values in the Carpathian region and other

    regions desired holiday throughout the country. There are very few

    places in Ukraine, where there is price action occurred after the post-

    Soviet economic collapse, but in general property prices in villages

    and small cities around Ukraine remains very low.

    Property prices show no sign of halting their growth, and real estate

    analysts generally agree that the fundamental causes of rising prices

    for Ukrainian cities will continue to raise prices for many years at least.

    Read my special report on real estate in Crimea

    Causes of the real estate boom in Ukraine

    One of the reasons for rising real estate prices in Ukraine are:

    -

    Low levels of housing per capita in Soviet times

    Soviet system kept by people who move to big cities, but now may

    opportunities and capital are concentrated in big cities

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    15/53

    Increasing income levels in cities and resort areas

    Lack of alternative investment

    distrust of banks after losing their life savings during the inflation and

    the banking crisis of the early 1990s

    increase accessibility of bank loans and mortgages

    - This outbreak occurred despite high interest rates. When they finally

    lower rates, demand for property will probably increase further.

    While many U.S. investors are rushing to buy property abroad REO

    deals remain attractive.

    Documents required for buying property in Ukraine

    Any foreigner can buy real estate in Ukraine is a permanent residentor visa. Foreigners can buy any property other than non-privatized

    property and agricultural land, however, almost all foreign investors

    interested in urban properties. It's just some of the documents

    required for transfer of housing in Ukraine:

    Passport

    - Ukraine taxpayer identification code certificate; This can be done in

    Kiev (learn how to do this here), or agent (for example,uaproperty.com) can do this for you with your passport and an

    attorney

    - if the purchaser is married and comes in Ukraine is not his wife or

    her: a copy of marriage certificate, copy of passport of spouse,

    notarized copy of the consent of her husband to buy property in

    Ukraine

    - Ukrainian property can be purchased through an estate agents are

    not attending the buyer. However, for obvious reasons, almost all

    buyers of expensive properties they prefer to deal with the individual.

    - Getting money to Ukraine property market. Opening a bank account

    - Up to $ 15,000 U.S. dollars can be imported into Ukraine without

    special documents (until recently was $ 10,000). Most foreign property

    buyers open a bank account in Ukraine and the transfer of money

    from abroad. Then money can either be transferred to seller's bank

    account or taken in cash. Opening a bank account in Ukraine is easy

    and requires these documents:

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    16/53

    Passport

    -

    Certificate Code taxpayer

    -

    Proof of foreign origin of the money (if a foreigner gives money to theaccount after opening); Declaration of a custom imported from

    Ukraine, a testament to the bank for exchanging cash or travelers

    checks, or proof of bank receipt of cash by credit or debit card

    A good bank to open an account at this PrivatBank. Besides an easy

    process for opening an account and have hundreds of outlets

    throughout Ukraine and has a convenient transport system on the

    Internet that allows you to transfer money into your account online.Other banks are starting to catch up with PrivatBank to online banking,

    too.

    The costs to acquire property in Ukraine

    -

    In the property market by 1% tax paid on the amount of sales and

    other 1% is paid by Ukraine for pension funds. Buyers and sellers

    settle on who will pay the fees and state that the sale agreement.Estate agents usually charge 3-5% of the value of the property for

    their services. Finally, buyers can purchase an insurance policy for the

    property for 1% of the real estate office.

    -

    Real estate investors are closely monitoring the policy and the

    forthcoming parliamentary elections 2006 in Ukraine. There was talk

    of implementing a tax on capital appreciation of 13% for residents and

    26% for nonresidents, effective at the time of sale, which could

    significantly affect the market. This tax will be paid the difference

    between the price of the property was originally acquired and the price

    sold for.

    Real property improvements and maintenance

    In most cases foreign buyers immediately newly renovated homes

    usually cost $ 10-15 thousand dollars for repairs and construction.

    Some estate agents offer construction supervision services.

    uaproperty.com, for example, charges 6% of construction costs for

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    17/53

    their services.

    To create new structures for the property acquired, all homeowners

    must obtain a building permit. Many locals and foreigners choose to

    pay builders (usually around $ 500 or more) to make the whole

    process for them - from the preparation of architectural plans to standin line in all government departments to put seal of approval on

    projects.

    Property maintenance costs in Ukraine are generally very low. Utilities

    are usually about $ 15-30 a month for an average apartment, and no

    property taxes (other than the tax paid on the sale of property).

    -

    Foreign property owners in Ukraine, often the installation of securitysystems, especially if they are renting their properties.

    Property is always rented out usually requires periodic repair, which

    can add up to 5-20% of rent.

    Renting property in Ukraine

    -

    Typical rental prices for Ukrainian cities are usually 5-10% of the value

    of the property annually, or 0.8% per month. In other words, a partitionthat would sell today for $ 40,000 dollars would probably cost $ 160-

    320 a month for rent (closer to the middle of this range is more

    typical).

    Many brokerage firms offer rental property and care services, allowing

    foreign owners do not have to worry about their property at all. The

    owners may agree to get rent from the organization periodically and

    have the money to be deposited Ukrainian bank account.

    -

    Taxes on rental property

    - Make money from rental property is taxed in Ukraine. If the owners

    are residents of Ukraine taxes you must pay 26% for income from

    rental real estate - twice the rate of 13% (flat tax on income) for

    residents.

    The owners of the highest end apartments or multiple properties to

    find it worthwhile to register as private entrepreneurs and to pay a

    fixed monthly amount instead of percentage-based income taxes on

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    18/53

    the money derived from rent. This pattern of tax of about $ 40 U.S.

    dollars will not change for each level of income related to business

    activity is less than 500 thousand UAH (about $ 100,000) annually.

    -

    Foreigners can also create a Ukrainian company, which is a taxresident of Ukraine. This company will pay various types of taxes on

    earnings and also be able to legally acquire privatized and non-

    agricultural land by non-residents are not able to acquire by law. Once

    land has been privatized and developed, the property can be

    transferred abroad through legal means owner.

    -

    Money that could prove legally that they have won in Ukraine can bemoved or transferred from the country with the necessary

    documentation. However, most foreigners prefer to leave profits in

    Ukrainian bank and use it within Ukraine.

    Business Opportunity - Ukraine-plastic film

    -

    I've gotten some inquiries about investment opportunities in Ukraine,

    so I thought I would post some here in between trying to figure outwhat's happening here politically. This is a more specific, but some will

    be more generalized analysis of business opportunities.

    Ukrainian factory buildings and modernization of equipment

    Business: manufacture plastic films used for packaging candy,

    agricultural bagging and packaging, containers of dairy products

    (bags), packaging, detergents, food packaging, etc. (Ukraine has a

    vast field of food processing.)

    -

    Amount required: $ 6 - $ 10 million to upgrade facilities and

    equipment. (Potential for joint venture.)

    -

    Market: The manufacturer is looking for a position the company to

    benefit from two market opportunities. The first is manufacturing

    packaging to customer specifications allow for direct sale to the

    The second market is the supply Twispan local movie candy to save

    cost and time. 80% said the product is imported. A minimum order of17 tonnes is required to make the order. (Local customers were pool

    should come up to the minimum.) Imports are causing delays of 7 to

    14 days and results in cost values for the input. Local production will

    save time and lead to cheaper products.

    Other potential markets: Is it possible to export to the CIS region and

    Europe.-

    Finding a Job in Ukraine through the Internet

    This page is to help those seeking work in Ukraine through the

    Internet. Of course, this is not an easy thing to do, but hard work and

    persistence can bring results. I just read this success story from a

    reader TryUkraine.com.

    First of all, to my knowledge, there are almost no useful websites with

    job postings Ukraine especially for foreigners. There are a couple with

    occasional postings as EscapeArtists.com. You can find other similar

    sites with almost no useful information by searching Google for

    "Ukraine employment," Employment Ukraine, "etc.

    Kyiv Post Employment Ads

    The most interesting job advertisements in the English language is the

    site of the Kyiv Post and the weekly editions of the newspaper Kyiv

    Post. However, you will notice that the focus is on jobs for locals

    speaking English, not foreigners. The largest audience Kyiv Post is an

    English-speaking Ukrainians. Positions are advertised tend to be

    20/53

    prestigious businesses and organizations. Most jobs are high profile.

    Sometimes, after the mini-biographies of aliens at The Kiev Post. This

    is definitely not a bad idea. If you are not yet in Ukraine, please send

    your ad or mini-resume by fax to agree to a form of payment. Ads

    come out every Thursday.Search Ukrainian workplace

    The opportunities to find employment is higher when using Ukrainian

    job search sites. The first three are rabota.com.ua, ajob.com.ua, and

    job.bigmir.net. There are many others as well, but tend to be

    redundant.

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    21/53

    Most likely you will choose the "single tax" option (one of three options

    for taxation). This is the best choice for consultants, language, and

    other specialists. You will have a fixed monthly tax consists of two

    parts, one end tax set by local tax authorities of around 20-200 UAH

    (usually 200 Hryvnia), and a contribution to the insurance fund

    (essentially, social security) currently 84 UAH. This means your

    monthly fixed charge would be over $ 54 dollars, regardless of your

    monthly salary (as long as your annual income is under $ 100,000

    USD)!

    Tax payment schedule

    The tax from your local tax authorities (usually these days 200 UAH /

    mo.) Paid by the 20th of each month for the next month. You can also

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    22/53

    choose to pay for up to three months earlier. In other words, your

    deadline for paying your taxes for May is April 20. If you hire

    employees (up to ten allowed) will have to pay social security taxes

    quarterly as well.

    If you leave the country or otherwise discountinuing activities of yourbusiness, you can report the incident to the local office of tax and is

    not required to pay taxes for the months that do not.

    Accounting and fines

    Private entreneurs who pay the "single tax" is supposed to monitor

    activities related to the costs and benefits in a register book given to

    them when they register with the tax administration. Bookkeeping is

    not as strict as those who use the standard choice of taxes, requiringthem to document adequately all profits and deductible expenses.

    "Single taxpayer", you can control or monitor - but as I said in the tax

    administration, bookkeeping you are a formality, and there are fines

    for poor record keeping. After all, your tax burden does not depend on

    earnings or business-related expenditure

    Passport registration in Ukraine

    Ukrainian law requires foreigners to register their passports in Ukraine

    within 3 months of their arrival (in the last 6 months for citizens of the

    United States and possibly in some other countries). Registration is

    valid for up to 6 months and may be extended. The purpose of

    registration is for the state to know is you, and make sure there is a

    donor or calling party may be fine if they break laws on immigration. In

    addition, you will need your passport to register to register as a private

    entrepreneur, or create legal entities.

    If not, operating in Ukraine and flee the country every three months or

    less (six months for U.S. citizens) do not need to register. Most recent

    entry stamp you substitute for registration and shows that you are in

    the country less than the time required for registration.

    Crossing the borders of Ukraine to prevent the entry

    To avoid having to register their passports, many foreigners in Ukraine

    Ukraine just make sure they leave every three months (or six, if the

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    23/53

    USA). By entering Ukraine will automatically receive a stamp in your

    passport as a substitute for registration for three or six months. So, all

    you can do to prevent the entry is cross the border and get a new

    stamp in your passport. OVIR officers said - and I do this - it is

    perfectly fine to go to an international border crossing (for example,between Krakow and Lviv, Uzhhorod and Kosice, and Chernivtsi and

    Suceava), cross by bus, car, bicycle, or on foot, and immediately

    returned to their country a few minutes later the other side (make sure

    you do not need a visa to another country, though!). New entry stamp

    allows you to be in another three months (or six months) did not

    record. Ask OVIR officers registration period applies to citizens of your

    country. The registration period which used to be three days (still inRussia)!

    Where to begin recording

    To begin the registration process, you must go to the local city office

    of the Department of Citizenship, immigration and registration

    (commonly called OVIR, or "VVIR" if transcribed from Ukrainian) and

    get the necessary forms and review any additional requirements for

    registering the type of visa officers OVIR. Always carry your passportwith you when you visit OVIR, as officers will always want to look at it,

    check your identity, and consider the type of visa and border crossing

    your dates.

    I recommend to start the registration process no later than one week

    prior three months (or six months), the period expires. Registration

    may require multiple visits to OVIR, which can have hours of operation

    are scattered throughout the week. Find the address of your local

    town office or by calling the 09 OVIR intelligence (Ukrainian Voice).

    If you are late registering, you will regret it very much! They should be

    fined and go through additional red tape "and then go through the

    registration process again from scratch. Read more about this below.

    Register your passport will occupy an entire page of your passport. It

    will show the registration period, the name of the calling party, and

    where you live in Ukraine.

    Requirements for registration

    The actual registration process can be time consuming itself. The

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    24/53

    forms you need depends on the type of visa. If you have a private

    visa, you will only need forms for you and the person calling you home

    or where you live on. If you have a business or service visa, you will

    need a form for you, for the person whose house you live in, and the

    organization will be invited.Employers hiring foreign workers and obtain a work permit usually

    take care of passport registration as well. In addition, there are

    services that will cater for all the formalities for you, saving you many

    visits to OVIR and local utility services ("ZHEK").

    To submit your passport to a private visa, you will need:

    2 photos

    a copy of your passport (including visa page and the latest entrystamp)

    passport of the person calling

    your form and format of the call party

    proof of payment of registration fees (probably 33 UAH, or $ 6.50

    USD), which you usually pay a bank next to or inside the building

    OVIR

    You need to ask the officers to OVIR the exact amount of paymentand where to do so. There will also be a small handling fee bank of 5

    UAH or less.

    Confirm these conditions officers OVIR before bringing your

    documents for recording. May require additional documents, for

    example, a lease agreement or a stamp ZHEK (local housing office

    utilities) on the implementation of the calling party.

    Seal the ZHEK

    The purpose of this stamp is to confirm that ZHEK know that someone

    else will live in this address. The ZHEK is responsible for utilities and

    building maintenance, as well as issuing passports to citizens of

    Ukraine and anything related to establishing residence in a particular

    location.

    Trying to get into ZHEK may take several attempts and should be

    done by the owner of apartment living at. The ZHEK may ask to see

    the "alien" in his passport as well, and may or may not require the

    homeowner to fill out another form that says you can stay in their

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    25/53

    apartment through a certain date. The ZHEK must know the number

    of people living in the apartment, to compute the cost of utilities for the

    apartment. As a result, many homeowners are not thrilled about

    having to register a foreign (or any rentors) office ZHEK.

    If you are in Ukraine on a business, service, or other type of visa otherthan the requirements listed above should also:

    a completed form from your organization call

    a copy (not notarized is fine) organization or government company

    registration certificate (indicating when and where the organization

    was registered and legal address and name of official)

    a copy (not notarized is fine) organization or business license bureau

    of statistics (as shown in the organization of activity)IMPORTANT: The purpose of the registration forms for requesting

    parties is to make sure that someone will pay for breaches of

    immigration law and deport you if the case may be. These parties

    should not necessarily be the same parties will be invited for a visa

    you. It can technically be any organization or individual who is willing

    to take administrative responsibility for you while you are in Ukraine.

    We need to work for the organization (which would require a workpermit) or have business relationships with them.

    *** NOTICE *** 10/24/2007

    A couple of different sources said that when told OVIR that they can

    get their passport is registered in Ukraine does not have a visa. This

    process essentially makes a vision completely unnecessary. Check

    local OVIR your city for details if this does not apply to your home

    country.

    Extend your subscription

    To extend your registration, you must repeat the entire process

    described above. There is no difference between getting the first

    record you and extend your subscription. Start the process, less than

    one week before the period of registration.

    What happens if I fail to register on time in Ukraine

    If you lose your mandatory registration date (3 or 6 months after the

    last registration in Ukraine, as mentioned above), inviting you and your

    party will have to pay a fine (currently 340-680 UAH for the alien and

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    26/53

    0-840 UAH for the calling party), even if you're one day late.

    Specifications can be deported if you are late or way too late to

    register more than once; However, the expulsion measure is

    extremely rare.

    If you are late for registration, you must go to town with OVIR callingyour party (individual whose home you live in an invitation or

    organization, as appropriate) and write a statement (by hand is fine)

    from each of you explaining the reason for slow you. OVIR officers will

    take these statements and to set a date for you and calling your party

    to appear in "court" together. Most likely, the officer OVIR its

    comments, together with the statement, based on conversations with

    you."Test" will probably consist of some questions by the judge in his

    office. The judge will decide the size of the fine be paid. You should go

    to the nearest Sberkassa (state bank) and pay the fine, return the

    receipt, give the Registrar of the court, and returned to pick up a copy

    of a court decision several days later. Subsequently, this document

    should go back to OVIR and complete the registration process regular

    passport with the attached decision of the court.As you can see, solving traffic problems may take several weeks, so

    make sure you keep track of the subscription period and you either

    sign or return to Ukraine within the period. Also note that you will need

    the signature of the owner of the apartment you are staying at, so if

    the owner is abroad you may have problems! Thus, the plan in

    advance.

    Tips for Business Travelers in Ukraine

    Visas:Canadians do not need visas to enter Ukraine if you do not intend to

    stay there for more than 90 days. In this case, it is strongly

    recommended that Canadian visitors apply for a visa to Canada by the

    Ukrainian Embassy in Ottawa or the Consulate of Ukraine in Toronto.

    A minimum of two weeks required for processing. Note: Travellers

    planning a trip across the border to Russia must have a visa. It is

    advisable to apply for a visa at the Russian embassy in Canada.

    Transportation:

    The Boryspil international airport with two terminals adjacent to the

    national and international traffic, is 30 kilometers (18 miles) from the

    center of Kiev. Currently there are two direct flights a week from

    Ukraine to Canada conducted Aerosvit, the Ukrainian airline. Air

    Canada operates through London, Frankfurt, Paris and Madrid. Major

    airlines fly to Kiev and some European Dnipropetrovsk and Odessa.

    Ukraine International Airlines flies to almost all European capitals and

    in Asia. The railway system is efficient and covers the whole of

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    29/53

    Ukraine.

    Study the market carefully before making a decision to investigate.

    Market development and entry costs are generally high, and long-term

    strategy is necessary when seeking opportunities. Hire an

    experienced consultant with experience in the interest of yourbusiness.

    2. Products can be introduced quickly to the Ukrainian market, but

    should be competitively priced. Purchasing power is low and

    competition from neighboring industrial countries is high. A Canadian

    product must be either unique or very affordable.

    3. There is little transparency in business, legal and regulatory

    environment. Ukrainian laws and regulations are vague and open toconsiderable latitude in interpretation, provides great opportunities for

    bureaucratic corruption at all levels.

    4. Locating a reliable business partner is crucial to success. A meeting

    of mind with your partner and establishing a "win-win" situation is

    important. Otherwise, when you leave the country, your colleagues

    can do whatever they want. Moreover, hiring a distributor with

    contacts in state committees and government bodies is invaluable asthe state bureaucracy continues to play a major role in business

    transactions and certification.

    5. When evaluating any opportunity in Ukraine, Canadians need to

    determine where, when and how they should be paid. Speculate on

    this point often leads to frustration. It is also imperative to have an exit

    strategy. This applies to any investment you make in Ukraine.

    6. Do not do anything in Ukraine would not do in Canada. Ukrainians

    quickly learn how to avoid honest business and you may be back with

    the same currency.

    7. Communications in Ukraine is still below Western standards. Not all

    businesses are aware of the importance of a Web site or even an e-

    mail. Dedicated fax lines are rare. The Ukrainians did not want to

    leave messages on answering machines.

    8. If you are a Ukrainian Canadian Ukrainian avoid giving your

    partners sought advice on how to do business in Ukraine. Take it for

    granted that business conditions are not as transparent and regulated

  • 8/9/2019 62b HOW TO MAKE BUSSINESS IN UKRAINE_EG

    30/53

    as in Canada.

    9. The attitudes of ordinary people to foreigners is more than

    welcoming. Do not hesitate to ask for instructions if you have lost.

    Ukrainians have a good sense of humor and appreciate that in other

    nationalities. When invited to someone's house for dinner, do notcome empty-handed. A bottle of wine or a box of chocolates, flowers,

    together with the hostess, will be welcome. It is also a good idea to

    bring some small gifts for children in the family.

    they prefer foreign managers. Above all, investors should be confident

    that the major decisions in the business of the company is controlled

    by / of fiduciary.

    Second, often only foreigners to have their qualifications, particularly

    in the production, marketing, or management.

    Thirdly, the work associated with the need to tune up output highly

    competitive articles should apply knowledge of Western technicians

    who know with imported machinery. That is why the issue of

    employment and work activities of foreigners in Ukraine is still urgent.

    Meanwhile, the fact that an alien will generally have to get a work

    permit to be eligible for employment in Ukraine is a certain peculiarity

    of the situation of foreign workers. This process is governed by

    existing labor laws of Ukraine and other legislative acts of Ukraine.

    founders' or an attorney appointing the Chief Executive and a copy ofthe passport of the worker who is registered in the bodies of internal

    There are some cases when working permit can be granted, despite

    the labor market situation and trends of development. Such a situation

    can occur when:

    no information contrary to the legislation of Ukraine in the submitted

    documents; The contract stipulates that the working conditions of foreign merit

    than those of citizens of Ukraine who meet the same job;

    events that a foreigner or employer has knowingly submitted false

    information to built documents are discovered;

    the alien is to fill a position or engaged in activities that should be

    occupied by a Ukrainian citizen

    territory, have been discovered;

    Ukrainian legislation does not provide limitations on the award of any

    contracts with foreign policy. Parties are free to enter into an

    agreement to choose a partner, and determine the terms of the

    contract. Consequently, a company may enter into any civil contractwith a foreigner for the provision of services.

    Salary is paid in foreign currency of Ukraine. Meanwhile, employers

    should not forget about paying taxes and various fees. Currently the

    tax rate on income from wages, regardless of the source of payment,

    payable in a foreign employer is 15% of the tax base. Insurance fees

    must also be considered.

    A hotelier must be a diplomat, a democrat, an autocrat, an acrobat,

    and doormat.

    They must be able to accommodate prime ministers, princes of

    industry, pickpockets, gamblers, bookmakers, pirates, philanthropists,

    popsies and prudes.

    It should be on both sides of the political fence, and be able to jump

    the fence.

    It should be, or have a football player, golfer, bowler, tennis player,

    Cricketer, darts player, sailor, pigeon fancier, motor racer and linguist,

    and have good knowledge of any other sport involving dice, cards,

    disagreements. It should therefore be qualified boxer, wrestler, weight-

    lifter, sprinter and peacemaker.

    We always look flawless when they drink with the ladies and

    gentlemen mentioned in the second paragraph and the bankers,

    swankers, theatricals, dealers and company representatives - even ifthere are any just peace between the two, four Six or more of these

    protectors.

    To be successful, an hotelier must keep a full bar, full house, stores

    complete, the cellar full, the customers full, and not get full himself.

    We have the staff clean, honest, quick workers, quick thinkers, non-

    drinkers, mathematicians, technicians, and anytime on the part of

    bosses, the customer side and stay on the outside of the bar .In summary, the hotelier must be outside, inside, offside, glorified,

    sanctified, crucified, stupefied, cross-eyed - if not the strong, silent

    type, there's always suicide

    Unusual Business IdeasSuccessful operation during the global financial crisis

    Europe, Asia and the U.S. faced a severe economic crisis which is allbusiness market. Both multinational corporations and small

    businesses lose their positions and seek to improve the situation.Internet is full of different methods to combat the crisis, but frankly I'mnot sure if it will work in real life. The only sure way to avoid financialproblems that I've found so far is to use the label "crisis" in yourbusiness. We really have to admit that "economic crisis" is now one ofthe most popular and widely used brands!

    A good example of how to make money for the crisis is a restaurantthat recently opened in Lvov, Ukraine - "Antikrizova knaipa"

    (translation from Ukrainian - "Anti this cafe-bar". At the end of 2008Ukrainian businessman Yuri Nazaruk plans to open a cafe in Lvov, butdid not get the credit bank. Mr. Nazaruk not get discouraged andchanged their business plans - opening a small cafe anti-budget crisis.

    The interior of the "Anti this cafe-bar" are mostly hand: simple shelveswith homemade pickles and vegetables "grandmother" jam, jars ofdollars and euros (a gentle hint to the fact that bank deposits are nowsafe), etc..

    promoted through the internet: create a home page with a specificaffiliate program and sell himself and with help from colleagues.My choice described above is for those who are not ready to invest in

    this business. But there are companies who see little prospect ofvideofitness and decided to use the idea in an unusual way: to preventthe 'normal video exercises, specially developed fitness programs for

    game boxes. Electronic Arts Company has created a EA SportsGame Active" for the post Nintendo Wii game that comes packagedwith leg strap and belt resistance to simulate jogging, yoga, fencing,etc.Other similar products are presented by Sega-Daisy Fuentes

    Wedding idea of specialized business

    Imagine how great your wedding day? Probably everyone will noticevery similar picture: bride in white, groom in black suit, smiling visitorsand a big fancy cake in the middle of the table. But we all know thatthe price for the special occasion cakes are sky-high and this amountcould be spent on something more useful.Well, now it is no longer a problem! American FunCakes rental

    company forged plates made of foam, but covered in real fondant to

    look like a real culinary chef d'oeuvre! There is a special partition onthe cake to save edible piece of real cake for the bride and groomfeed. Then the display cake is taken back to the kitchen and guestsare served regular sheet cake from a local bakery or wholesale store.It seems like a perfect unusual idea for a small business niche.

    Especially in times of economic crisis. By the way, if you are already awedding related business, then add such a service as a "fake cake" inthe list of services to attract more customers.http://www.cakerental.com

    Whenever the weather roads Dutch insurance company reachescritical levels sends its customers a text message with a warning andadvice to avoid these places. All warnings based on information

    in fewer insurance payments. But it's also a great marketing conceptlow-budget - to show clients that are interested in them and dowhatever you can to accommodate them. Company improves its

    relationship with customers while promoting the brand.This strategy may not be authorized only for insurance companies,

    and any other market. Especially for small businesses! For example, ifyou have a small shop selling tourist equipment, you can provide yourcustomers with sms weather forecasts. The only thing to rememberhere: the information must be useful, otherwise it is a simple spamand cause opposite reaction - irritation!Successful operation during the global financial crisis
