Buy a company with a construction license (СС1 /СС2 /СС3) in Ukraine

Buying a construction company with a construction license (CC1, CC2, or CC3) can be a profitable transaction for those with interests in the construction industry.

In Ukraine, construction license SS1, SS2, or SS3 is issued to enterprises that have the appropriate technical and financial resources and allows them to perform work at various stages of construction.

Below we will look at the important aspects of buying a company with a construction license and the difference between CC1, CC2, and CC3 licenses.

The main difference between construction licenses SS1, SS2, SS3 in Ukraine

CC1 license gives the right to perform construction works of I and II objects of complexity class. This includes large construction sites such as apartment complexes, shopping malls, airports, etc. The CC1 license requires the highest level of technical qualifications and financial resources among all types of construction licenses.

The SS2 license gives the right to build objects of I and II complexity class, but to a limited extent compared to SS1. It can be used for works on smaller-scale objects, such as individual residential buildings, cottages, and small commercial objects.

The SS3 license allows you to perform construction work on objects of I and II complexity classes that do not require the use of heavy equipment or specialized technologies. This is the most affordable license among all three.

When is it better to buy a construction company in Ukraine

Buying a construction company, instead of creating it from scratch, can be beneficial in a number of situations:

• Availability of a ready-made business and client base. Acquiring an existing construction company allows you to immediately acquire a client base, a portfolio of projects, and the ability to generate income immediately after the conclusion of the deal.
• License and permits already in place. Being the owner of a construction company with the proper license (CC1, CC2, or CC3) will allow you to avoid long and complicated procedures for obtaining licenses and permits according to local legislation.
• Technical and professional expertise. An existing company may have professionals with extensive construction experience and technical expertise, allowing you to immediately have a team ready to execute projects.
• Possibility of profitable deals. Typically, companies that are sold may require less investment compared to starting a business from scratch. You can make a good deal considering the current state of the business and the risks involved.
• Introduction to the market. If you want to quickly enter the construction services market and compete with existing players, acquiring a company can be an effective way to achieve this goal.
• Reputation and brand. If the company has a good reputation and a recognizable brand in the construction market, you can inherit these assets, which will make it easier to attract new customers and partners.

However, it is important to remember that the acquisition of a company is also associated with risks, and you need to objectively assess them by conducting a detailed analysis of the financial condition, legal aspects, and reputation of the company.

In the real world, the choice between buying an established business and starting a new one depends on your experience, resources, and goals in the construction industry.
