Registration of a public organization (registration of an enterprise in Ukraine) in Ukraine is an important stage for its legal and effective activity.
Several mandatory steps must be taken to register an NGO. Below is a general overview of the registration process:
1. Preparatory stages:
Define the purpose and objectives of the organization.
Develop the Charter of the NGO, which must meet the requirements of the law.
2. Collection of documents:
The statute of the organization.
Minutes of the meeting of the founders (participants) of the NGO.
Application for registration.
Copies of passports of the founders (participants).
Other necessary documents according to the legislation.
3. Application submission:
The application for registration together with the documents should be submitted to the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine at the place of registration of the organization.
4. Verification and registration:
The Ministry of Justice checks the submitted materials and, if all requirements are met, registers the NGO.
5. Obtaining a certificate:
After successful registration, the NGO receives a registration certificate.
6. Account opening:
For the purpose of financial services, the NGO can open a bank account.
Important questions:
Compliance with the requirements of the Charter and legislation.
Payment of state duty for registration.
Interaction with the tax authority to obtain the status of a non-profit organization (optional, but recommended).
Before starting the registration procedure, it is recommended to contact professional lawyers or civil society consultants for comprehensive information and assistance in completing all the necessary formalities. Business registration services are provided by qualified lawyers, who can be found on the website.
Opening a company in Ukraine during martial law is a necessary tool for supporting the economic front.
Registering a business is a simple step if you get professional help.
1. Charter of the NGO:
The statute must contain information about the purpose and tasks of the organization, the rights and obligations of members, the procedure for formation and liquidation of the NGO, the structure and management bodies.
2. Founders (members):
Founders can be individuals or legal entities. For natural persons, copies of passports must be provided, for legal entities - information from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities.
3. Meetings of founders (participants):
Meetings at which a decision is made on the formation of the NGO and the adoption of the Statute. The appropriate protocol must be drawn up and attached to the package of documents.
4. State duty:
Payment of the state duty is a mandatory part of the registration procedure. The size of the duty depends on the value of the statutory fund.
5. Interaction with state registration authorities:
After submitting documents for registration, you should interact with the territorial body of the Ministry of Justice to clarify any questions or misunderstandings.
6. Status of a non-profit organization:
If the NGO plans to carry out charitable or public activities, it is possible to submit an application for granting the status of a non-profit organization to the tax authority.
7. Bank account:
After receiving the registration certificate, the NGO can open a bank account for carrying out financial activities.
8. Declaration:
The NGO has an obligation to submit reports on its activities and financial status in accordance with the requirements of the law.
9. Other possible steps:
Depending on the specifics of the NGO's activities, additional steps may occur, for example, obtaining a license to conduct certain types of activities.
It should be noted that regulatory requirements may change, so it is recommended to purchase company registration services from a lawyer or civil law specialist for up-to-date information.
