8. • Solution
• We have stopped the process of liquidation of the company, and even saved the part of
the property of the company. But as all statutory documents and printings of the company
were located at the former director, the latter managed jointly with the chairmanof the
company, "generate debts of an enterprise" and transfer all the expensive equipment of
the new company, which was established by him and former Chairman of the society.
One legal error of a foreign investor, who worked on "confidence" cost him the loss of a
profitable business on the territory of Ukraine and the loss of half of the assets that he was
bringing into the territory of Ukraine. Ourrecommendation: the development of legal
protection scheme assets and of the corporate rights at the stage of creating a business,
the implementation of such a scheme - is a prerequisite for successful business,
preservation of property companies and obtain a stable income.
