Key challenges for Ukrainian businesses in attracting investment:
- No experience in attracting external financing. Most companies face difficulties in preparing high-quality projects that meet the requirements of international donors and investors.
- Incorrect project budgeting. Typically, Ukrainian companies underestimate or overestimate costs, and this can result in funding denials.
- Language barriers. Within the context of globalization and growing international cooperation, proficiency in foreign languages, especially English, is important for effective communication with donors.
- Legal issues. Unoptimized legal structures and non-compliance of financial statements with investor requirements create additional impediments to obtaining financing.
BDO in Ukraine’s hands-on advice: how to successfully prepare an investment project
- Engagement of professional consultants. As Andrii emphasized, successful project preparation requires cooperation with experienced consultants who will help you to properly draw up a budget, calculate the project's economic feasibility, and conduct legal due diligence.
- Compliance with international standards. Investors and donors often require compliance with clear international standards in financial reporting and corporate structure.
- Analysis of market conditions. To successfully attract investment, it is important to understand the specifics of the market in which the company operates and to predict its development.
