For Ukrainian entrepreneurs, expanding into European markets can open new opportunities for customers, partnerships, investment and growth. But setting up and managing a business in the EU while living outside the EU can also create practical challenges – from establishing a European company and accessing financial services to raising investment from European investors and managing operations remotely.

In this webinar, we will explore how Ukrainian entrepreneurs can use Estonia as a base for doing business in Europe without needing to relocate. We will explain how Estonia’s e-Residency works, what it allows you to do remotely, and how an Estonian company can support entrepreneurs who want to operate in European markets, work with European partners or raise funding from European investors. We will also cover the practical aspects of setting up and running an EU-based company, including company formation, banking and payments, accounting, taxation and managing your business digitally from abroad.

The session is designed for Ukrainian founders who are:

• Already selling to customers in Europe or planning to enter the EU market; looking for an EU-based company structure while continuing to live and work in Ukraine or elsewhere outside the EU.
• Running a remote or internationally distributed business; looking to raise funding from European investors or build relationships with European investment networks; looking for a practical way to manage European business operations without relocating.

• What options Ukrainian entrepreneurs have for establishing a business presence in the EU
• How Estonian e-Residency works and what it does – and does not – provide
• How to establish and manage an Estonian company remotely
• What an EU-based company structure can mean for working with European customers, partners and investors
