Registration of Branches and representative offices of business entities
Under Ukrainian law any legal person has right to create subdivisions regardless of its legal form. Branches, representative offices are considered legal entities since the decision to create them.
Creation of such subdivision should be in consultation with the local authorities in accordance with legislation. The main legal provisions on separate entity are the Commercial Code and the law on business registration (Law of Ukraine «On the registration of legal entities and physical persons – entrepreneurs»).
