Legal and accounting support for online stores

 YOUR GOAL

You plan to create an online store, select the best products, set up a website, and launch sales.

At first glance, it may seem that marketing and a convenient platform are the main priorities. However, for legal and secure online business operations, it is crucial to start with the right legal and accounting decisions.

Even before launching the store, you must determine the optimal legal structure, register a company or sole proprietorship, choose a taxation system, and select appropriate business activity codes. In practice, many entrepreneurs face unexpected difficulties already at this stage.

Potential issues you may encounter:

• Incorrectly selected business activity codes — tax authorities may consider the activity non-compliant and impose penalties.
• Errors during state registration or improperly prepared documents.
• Wrong choice of taxation system — excessive tax liabilities or loss of preferential single tax status.
• Lack of contracts with suppliers, customers, and delivery services — risk of claims and financial disputes.
• Accounting issues — late reporting, tax audits, or bank account suspension.
• Unregulated privacy policy, personal data processing rules, and public offer on the website.

To avoid negative consequences and launch your online store legally, securely, and profitably — it is best to entrust the preparation to professional lawyers and accountants.

 CASE STUDY

• Situation: An online store owner received a batch of defective goods from a supplier — part of the products did not meet the technical specifications stated in the contract. Customers began returning the goods, and the supplier refused to compensate for losses.
• Problem: Financial losses arose along with the risk of losing customers and reputation. Immediate protection of the store’s interests and recovery of funds from the unreliable supplier were required.
• Our solution: Our lawyers prepared a formal claim to the supplier, collected evidence of non-compliance with the contract terms, and conducted negotiations. After the supplier refused to settle the dispute voluntarily, a lawsuit was filed. In parallel, our accountants recalculated tax liabilities related to product returns.
• Result: The court fully satisfied the client’s claims: more than UAH 280,000 in damages and legal costs were recovered from the supplier. The online store resumed operations without financial losses and preserved its business reputation.

Maximum security and efficiency for your online store — with professional legal and accounting support, any disputes are resolved quickly and lawfully.
