INVESTOR SEARCH. BUSINESS PROPOSALS FROM UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN COMPANIES FROM UKRBUSINESSCONSULT
Finding an investor in Ukraine: preparing the project and negotiations in 2026
An investor assesses how the project will generate a return and how invested capital can be controlled. For the first meeting, the project needs a clear product, verified demand, a team, a financial model and a proposal for the transaction structure.
The search begins once the owner has defined the amount, term, use of funds and financing result.
In 2026, Ukrainian projects approach private investors, strategic companies, banks, funds, export credit organisations and recovery programmes. Each source of capital has its own criteria. A targeted list of recipients is therefore prepared by sector, stage and project size.
Investment readiness
The owner presents the legal structure, rights to the product and assets, financial results, customer contracts and the use-of-funds plan. Forecasts are separated from actual results, while assumptions about price, sales, margin, hiring and capital expenditure must have a source.
The team formulates the investment thesis: why the market buys the product, what advantage can be sustained and how the capital will increase the company's value. Matters requiring further work are converted into a plan with a budget and responsible persons.
Choosing the type of investor
A strategic partner may provide a sales channel, technology or manufacturing capacity together with capital. A financial investor focuses on value growth and exit. A lender assesses repayment and security. A grant programme funds a defined purpose.
A profile is prepared for each recipient: investment range, sectors, geography, stage, participation format and review process. The first approach explains the fit of interests. Materials are adapted to the recipient's role while keeping the same figures.
Data room
The initial package contains a teaser, presentation and financial model. Once interest is confirmed, corporate documents, financial statements, tax records, intellectual property, key contracts, licences and employee information are opened for review.
Investor questions are collected in a log. Answers that change the forecast or structure are incorporated into the main version of the model. Before detailed due diligence, the parties agree confidentiality, the scope of information, the timetable and contact persons.
Terms and closing
The preliminary offer defines the amount, instrument, valuation, stake, tranches, control rights and funding conditions. The owner calculates the impact on management and future rounds. Tax and other consequences are checked in advance.
The transaction timetable combines due diligence, corporate approvals, consents, agreements, payment and registry changes. After the funds are received, the company reports on the use of capital and progress against the agreed indicators.
Preparing a targeted investor search
Before the initial meeting, the owner gathers facts that affect the decision: the amount, use of funds, company stage, actual indicators, transaction structure, geography and profile of the desired investor. The data is organised by source and date, while indicators requiring clarification are marked separately. The specialist starts with the business model and sees which documents are needed for the next action.
The result is documented as a working package: investment teaser, presentation, financial model, target list, contact log and basic data room. It records official sources, source figures, accepted assumptions, responsible persons and evidence of every completed stage. The document is used in negotiations and internal management.
At the review meeting, the team checks that the project is approaching suitable investors with the same verified data and a specific next step. Where a decision affects accounting, legal, sales and operational teams, each function receives its task and deadline. Management has one timetable and controls the project by actual results.
The agreed package is kept in the corporate folder together with document versions and correspondence. The responsible employee updates it when participants, the asset, the agreement, calculations or a public service change. At the next meeting, the team reconciles the plan with completed actions and records further tasks.
Control of the decision after the first working cycle
Before implementation, management once again reconciles the starting picture: the amount, use of funds, company stage, actual indicators, transaction structure, geography and profile of the desired investor. The review is based on documents and the company's actual operations so that dates, amounts, authority and participants describe the same project. Clarifications are entered into the working version before signing or filing.
Each action has an owner, a deadline and a method of confirmation. The accountant is responsible for figures and accounting, the lawyer for authority and agreements, and the operational team for factual data and implementation. Management approves decisions affecting the budget, partner relationships or the company's development.
The basis is the prepared package: investment teaser, presentation, financial model, target list, contact log and basic data room. Its parts are distributed to employees according to their roles, while originals and signed versions remain in the shared file. This preserves the connection between advice, the management decision and an action in a register, bank, report or agreement.
After the first month or a completed stage, the team carries out a short reconciliation. It compares planned and actual dates, costs, documents and counterparties' questions. If practice shows that a different procedure is more effective, the instruction is updated and the changes receive a date and a person responsible for future use.
The working result is confirmed when the project approaches suitable investors with the same verified data and a specific next step. The owner receives a clear control system that can be handed to a new employee, used when expanding the project and shown to a partner to the extent needed for a specific decision.
