BridgeWest can provide assistance for the formation of the following types of companies:

> Ukrainian Limited Liability Company
The Ukrainian Limited Liability company is the most common form of business organization established by entrepreneurs. It can be established by at least one person. The partners of such a company do not own shares, unlike the traditional Limited Liability company, but have a percentage of the company's capital that is specified in the charter of the firm. The members are able to transfer their participation to third parties, only with full consent of other members. If the company has more than one shareholder, board and shareholder meetings are required. The members of a Ukrainian Limited Liability company are liable to the company's name and obligations only to the extent of their contributions, as the entity's name suggests.

> Ukrainian Open Joint Stock Company
An Open Joint Stock company may be established by two or more natural persons or legal entities becoming partners that can be residents or not. The share capital of a Ukrainian Joint Stock company is divided into shares of equal nominal value, and the liability of the members is limited to individual investment. The shares of an Open Joint Stock company may be offered to the public, can be transferred freely and can ultimately be traded on a stock exchange.

> Ukrainian Branch, Subsidiary or Representative Office-Any foreign company is able to set up branch entities in Ukraine. These can be set up as separate
entities from the parent company (Ukrainian companies having the foreign company as shareholder) or extensions of the parent-company in Ukraine.
A branch office is considered by the Ukrainian tax department to have the same status as any Ukrainian resident tax-paying company.
