Entry of a Polish-Ukrainian Business into the U.S. Market: Legal Support Case Study
In 2024, a team of entrepreneurs from Poland and Ukraine decided to expand their operations by opening a company in the United States. To implement this plan, they turned to Miraziz Khidoyatov, an expert in international corporate law.
The main goal was to establish a legal entity in a jurisdiction favorable for cooperation with American partners. The choice fell on the state of Delaware, known for its business-friendly legislation and simplified registration procedures.
Stages of Legal Support
1. Choosing the Jurisdiction and Company Type
An analysis was conducted comparing LLC and C-Corp options based on the founders' needs. LLC registration in Delaware was chosen to minimize tax burden and provide management flexibility.
2. Company Registration and Obtaining EIN
All necessary documents for company registration were prepared and submitted. A Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) was obtained and the company was registered with the IRS for tax reporting purposes.
3. Opening a Bank Account and Preparing Contracts
A business bank account was opened in a U.S. bank without the client’s physical presence. Initial contracts were drafted with suppliers and clients in the U.S., including NDA templates, invoices, and terms & conditions.
Results
- Successful registration of the company in Delaware and acquisition of EIN.
- Banking services established without physical presence in the U.S.
- Legal documentation prepared to begin operational activities.
- Legal support ensured for future business scaling in the U.S. market.

Starting a business in the U.S. for Polish-Ukrainian entrepreneurs is not only about registering a company—it involves legal structuring, tax planning, banking, and contract security. As this case shows, international success depends more on precision, foresight, and professionalism than on the size of initial investments.
With the support of attorney Miraziz Khidoyatov, the entrepreneurs were able not only to formally register the company but also to create a functioning business tool compliant with both U.S. and Polish legal systems. This enabled them to immediately begin operations, sign initial agreements, and avoid common mistakes in foreign market entry.
A particularly valuable aspect of this case is that the entire process was adapted for remote format—the clients were not physically present in the U.S., yet through expert legal assistance, they gained full access to the American banking system and were able to operate legally and transparently.
This example proves that entering the U.S. market is a real and achievable goal for businesses from Central and Eastern Europe. The key is having an experienced specialist by your side to navigate the nuances and establish a strong legal foundation for scaling. A legal strategy based on accuracy, compliance, and global vision is the cornerstone of success in the international business environment.
