INVESTOR SEARCH. BUSINESS PROPOSALS FROM UKRAINIAN AND FOREIGN COMPANIES FROM UKRBUSINESSCONSULT
Investing in Ukrainian business: from project selection to investment control in 2026
An investor starts with their own strategy: sectors, amount, term, required return and acceptable involvement in management. Only then are projects compared.
Verified revenue, rights to assets, the quality of the team and the mechanism for generating a return carry more weight than broad presentation claims.
In 2026, Ukraine offers projects in manufacturing, agricultural processing, energy, technology, logistics, construction materials and infrastructure recovery. Opportunities are at different stages of maturity. The search combines official resources, sector contacts and company verification.
Investment mandate
The mandate defines geography, sector, stage, size of each investment, currency and instruments. The investor chooses equity, a loan, a convertible instrument, a joint venture or an asset purchase. Separate restrictions are set for counterparties and sources of income.
The criteria are documented before projects are reviewed. This makes it possible to compare proposals using the same framework. The capital reserve takes account of follow-on financing and operating needs after the transaction.
Screening and initial review
The initial project card covers registration, owners, product, market, results, capital, funding request and offer structure. Figures are checked against financial statements, banking data and key agreements. Suitable projects move to a meeting.
The meeting covers customers, margin, team, competitors, use of funds and decisions requiring investor involvement. Management's ability to maintain regular reporting is assessed.
Full due diligence and valuation
Legal work covers corporate rights, assets, intellectual property, agreements, personnel, permits and disputes. Financial and tax due diligence reconciles reporting with registers, bank records and primary documents.
Valuation is based on cash flows, comparable companies, assets or the stage of development. Scenarios take account of currency, timing, additional investment and possible changes to the schedule. Price is discussed together with governance rights.
Documents and control
The investment agreement defines the amount, equity or debt, tranches, conditions, representations and liability. The shareholders' agreement regulates the board, budget, major transactions, new issues, dividends and exit.
After closing, the company provides the agreed package: sales, cash, budget, liabilities and project progress. The investor participates in reserved matters and reviews performance regularly.
Organising the investment selection process
Before the initial meeting, the owner gathers the facts that affect the decision: mandate, sectors, investment size, term, currency, acceptable risk, involvement in management and reserve for follow-on capital. 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: project scoring system, candidate cards, due diligence plan, financial scenarios, draft terms and a post-transaction reporting template. 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 each investment fits the strategy, has a verified basis and is controlled through agreed rights and indicators. 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: mandate, sectors, investment size, term, currency, acceptable risk, involvement in management and reserve for follow-on capital. 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: project scoring system, candidate cards, due diligence plan, financial scenarios, draft terms and a post-transaction reporting template. 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 each investment fits the strategy, has a verified basis and is controlled through agreed rights and indicators. 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.
