FAQ
Can a non-resident buy an agribusiness in Ukraine?
Buying the company is possible, but foreigners face restrictions on rights to agricultural land. That is why the deal structure needs to be worked out in advance, and we help you build it.
What is checked before buying an agricultural company?
Corporate documents, land rights (ownership and leases), existing contracts, debts, litigation and raider risks. The land bank deserves special attention, as it is often the main value of the business.
How can we protect ourselves against a raider attack?
Act in advance: put your corporate documents and land rights in order and have a response plan ready. If a takeover is already under way, you need to act immediately, so get in touch as early as possible.
