Business

A business (also known as a company, enterprise, and firm) is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods or services, or both, to consumers, businesses and governmental entities. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies. Most businesses are privately owned. A business is typically formed to earn profit that will increase the wealth of its owners and grow the business itself. The owners and operators of a business have as one of their main objectives the receipt or generation of a financial return in exchange for work and acceptance of risk. Notable exceptions include cooperative enterprises and state-owned enterprises. Businesses can also be formed not-for-profit or be state-owned.

The etymology of "business" relates to the state of being busy either as an individual or society as a whole, doing commercially viable and profitable work. The term "business" has at least three usages, depending on the scope — the singular usage (above) to mean a particular company or corporation, the generalized usage to refer to a particular market sector, such as "the music business" and compound forms such as agribusiness, or the broadest meaning to include all activity by the community of suppliers of goods and services. However, the exact definition of business, like much else in the philosophy of business, is a matter of debate and complexity of meanings.

Opening a Business in Ukraine it is good Investments in new business and Trade!

Opening a Business in Ukraine - It's not free, but it's a good investment. Good investment in market with high potential for sales, export and import, trade, multi-skilled personnel not spoiled by high salaries, huge cheap warehouses, more affordable than Chinese, some of the world's free trade zones...

Easy money, may be free, heaven for small- to medium-sized domestic business? But here exist little troubles: the bureaucratic and legal hurdles an entrepreneur that overcome in order to incorporate and open a new firm, time losses and set-up costs.
We can help to open a company in Ukraine (locally in Kiev - the capital of Ukraine and Odessa - the largest Ukrainian commercial sea port, situated next to an open free trade zone), which has long cooperated with foreign businessmen, providing a wide range of services.
We provide a wide range of services: banking and services, hiring staff, renting offices, stores, warehouses, sales structures, buildings, land, notary services. Office in Office, Setting up a Limited Liability Company, setting up branch, representive office, free zone establishment, Open company in Ukraine, your company branch in Ukraine or any ukrainian city is possible. Even loan trust in Ukraine is not a problem!

By establishing a presence under one of these methods, a foreign entity is permitted to engage in all activities as licensed in Ukraine. While the scope of activities that may be conducted through these means can include contracting, providing services and possibly manufacturing, foreign entities operating pursuant to these alternatives may engage only in those activities licensed by the relevant Ukraine authorities. Such foreign entities also will
remain subject to the relevant restrictions that reserve certain activities, such as commercial agency activities, for wholly Ukraine owned enterprises.

Business without bank? Nonsence! Banking system and bank regulation in Ukraine is well presented. The current banking system in Ukraine is two-tiered, comprising the central bank of the country and commercial banks. The central bank of Ukraine is the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), it controls the national currency, supervises the banking system and issues current banking regulations. Commercial banks operate under the authorization and supervision of the NBU. Commercial banks are formed as joint-stock companies or as companies on an equal footing with both legal and natural persons involved. The range of commercial banks activities includes: receiving deposits of enterprizes, institutions and households, crediting of economic entities and households, investments in securities, formation of cash balance and reserves, as well as other assets, cash and settlement servicing of the economy, foreign exchange operations and other services to natural persons and legal bodies.

Numerous Ukrainian commercial banks have joined the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunications (SWIFT). SWIFT provides financial data communication and processing services supporting the business activities of banks around the world. Participating Ukrainian banks can instantly settle transactions with other banks on-line with SWIFT. Western Union also has a funds transfer service between Ukraine and other countries.

Most banking services are available in Ukraine. Intermediation costs remain fairly high, although the presence of Western banks, particularly in retail banking, should force the sector to become more efficient over time.

Internet Facts

The prototype for the Internet was created in the sixties by the US Defence Department. To ensure that communication could be kept open in the event of a nuclear attack, it created a computer network known as Arpanet — the Advanced Research Project Agency Network.
The first attempt to connect two computers and allow them to communicate with one another was made by researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles and the Stanford Research Institute on 20 October 1969.The first people to coin the term 'internet' were two scientists, Vinton Cerf (known as 'father of the Internet') and his collaborator Bob Kahn, who in 1974 devised a means by which data could be transmitted across a global-network of computers. An Oxford graduate, Tim Berners-Lee, set up the first 'www server' (a Server receives and sends messages) to store the archive of the European Particle Physics Laboratory in Switzerland. The first e-mail ever sent was in 1972 between computers in two American universities. The most frequently used search word on the net is "sex", typed in 1,550,000 times every month. The most mentioned male on the Internet is President Bill Clinton, whose name is linked to 1,542,790 sites. The most mentioned female on the Internet is the actress Pamela Anderson, whose name is linked to 1,542,282 sites.
