Legal and accounting support for microchip production

 YOUR GOAL

You plan to launch or scale microchip manufacturing in Ukraine, invest in advanced technologies, and enter high-tech international markets.

Your objective is to create a competitive, safe, and fully compliant semiconductor production facility that meets international standards and regulatory requirements.

However, entering the microchip manufacturing industry involves a number of serious challenges:

• Complex procedures for business registration, obtaining permits, and compliance with technical regulations.
• Proper selection of business activity codes, licensing requirements, and dual-use technology control.
• Protection of intellectual property, proprietary technologies, and confidential information.
• Accounting for manufacturing processes, import of components and equipment, and export operations.
• Compliance with quality standards, technical documentation, government supervision, and audits.
• Customs procedures: product classification, customs valuation, certification, and delay prevention.
• Risks of fines, business suspension, or production shutdown in case of regulatory violations.

To avoid these risks and launch semiconductor production safely, it is essential to engage experienced legal and accounting professionals who provide full compliance support for high-tech businesses.

 CASE STUDY

• Situation: A Ukrainian microchip manufacturer planned large-scale exports to the EU and Asia. This required obtaining a special license for technological equipment and technology transfer, as well as confirmation of product compliance with international standards. The total value of future contracts exceeded USD 5 million, so any delay could cause significant financial losses.
• Problem: During the preparation of licensing documents, it was discovered that part of the technical documentation did not meet regulatory requirements and some certificates had expired. The following risks arose:
  • delay in obtaining the export license for 2–3 months;
  • fines and export suspension;
  • termination of contracts with key foreign partners;
  • unplanned costs for document correction and repeated inspections.
• Our solution:
  • Conducted a comprehensive audit of technical documentation, certificates, and internal manufacturing processes.
  • Updated and prepared all conformity certificates and quality standards in accordance with international requirements.
  • Prepared and submitted the full licensing application package, including process flow charts, production schemes, and safety documentation.
  • Represented the company at all stages of interaction with licensing and supervisory authorities.
  • Implemented internal compliance control to avoid future licensing blocks.
• Result: The export license was obtained in just 3 weeks instead of the expected 2–3 months. All export shipments were processed without fines or delays. The company signed contracts exceeding USD 5 million, preserved its international market reputation, and implemented an internal compliance system that reduced repeat risks by 95%. Additionally, ISO standards were introduced, opening new export opportunities.

Conclusion: Even one inaccuracy in licensing or technical documentation can result in serious financial losses and export suspension. By working with professionals, you receive full support at every stage — from document preparation to interaction with regulatory authorities — ensuring fast licensing, minimal penalty risks, and stable international operations.

 CASE STUDY

Registration of a microchip manufacturing and testing company: real-life case

Below is a simplified but realistic scenario of how a small company can enter the microelectronics market using a model that does not require building a fab but allows export activities and high-tech contracts.

• Initial client request.
  An entrepreneur planned to establish a small custom microchip design center (fabless model) and testing facility for industrial IoT solutions.
• Niche and business model analysis.
  We selected the optimal segment — “design + testing” — which does not require capital-intensive wafer production but enables international exports.
• Legal structuring of the company.
  A limited liability company was incorporated with clearly defined IP ownership, NDAs, developer contracts, and confidentiality provisions.
• Registration and permitting.
  A full documentation package was prepared, the company was registered, and activity codes were selected for R&D, testing, and electronic component manufacturing. Facility and equipment compliance consultations were conducted.
• Certification and export readiness.
  The company obtained the required certificates for radio-electronic and industrial IoT modules. Technical files, export specifications, and customs classification codes were prepared.
• First B2B contracts.
  A contract was signed to develop and test microchips for a foreign industrial sensor manufacturer. The monetization model includes consulting, R&D services, pilot production, and royalties.

We support microelectronics businesses from niche selection to company registration, IP protection, and preparation of full technical and export documentation. If you are considering this area, we will deliver a complete turnkey solution for your project.
