Almost half of the companies with foreign ownership are registered in Kyiv

There are currently 2,997 companies with foreign owners in Ukraine. It should be noted that this analysis covers companies with annual revenue of at least UAH 100 million, based on their 2025 financial statements.

Nearly a quarter of these companies have owners from Cyprus — 694 companies. They are followed by citizens of Germany, who are involved in 300 companies, and the United States — 292. Next come the Netherlands (239 companies), the United Kingdom (224), Austria (187), and Poland (146). It is worth noting that a single company may have multiple owners.

It should also be noted that Cyprus and the Netherlands have long remained key “hubs” for structuring Ukrainian businesses.

Almost half of all companies with foreign owners are registered in Kyiv — 1,478 businesses. Lviv region and Kyiv region follow, with 223 companies each. The fewest such businesses are located in the frontline regions of Kherson and Donetsk.

More than a quarter of all foreign-owned companies operate in wholesale trade — 774 companies. Another 268 companies are in agriculture, and 176 operate in IT.
