The largest number of companies registered at such addresses was recorded in Kyiv – more than 101 thousand, or 71.8% of the total. Kharkiv and Odesa regions are also in the top three, with more than 8 thousand (6.3%) and 5 thousand (4.1%) respectively.

The same regions are also leading in terms of the number of addresses. In Kyiv, companies are massively registered at 815 addresses (63.4%), in Kharkiv and Odesa regions – 105 (8.2%) and 65 (5.1%) respectively.

Most companies are registered at one location in the capital: 12 Melnykova Street. This is the legal address of 2,363 companies, including 1,978 active and 385 inactive.

The registration of a company’s location at the addresses of mass registration can be attributed to its negative characteristics when planning cooperation with such a company, says insolvency receiver Denys Lykhopiok.

“In my practice, I have encountered a frequent phenomenon that the location of a bankrupt company is the place of mass registration.
In particular, such re-registration is most often initiated by managers and business owners who are trying to avoid financial liability on the eve of bankruptcy proceedings. Sometimes, such developments can be planned even from the very beginning of the company’s activities,” comments Denys Lykhopiok, attorney at law, insolvency receiver, member of the Qualification Commission of Insolvency Receivers, bankruptcy specialist.
