Register SAF (temporary structure)
Registering a MAF or a temporary structure is necessary for entrepreneurs who plan to legally place a kiosk, pavilion, retail point, coffee shop, service point, or another business facility. A MAF is a small architectural form, while in business activity the term temporary structure is more commonly used. Such a structure is installed without a capital foundation and must comply with landscaping requirements, urban planning documentation, and the permitting procedure.
The need for legal assistance arises even before the MAF is installed: it is necessary to check the land plot, determine whether a temporary structure can be placed there, prepare documents for the MAF, obtain a placement passport, approve the landscaping scheme, and avoid the risk of demolition. If the temporary structure has already been installed without proper documents, a lawyer will help assess the possibility of registering it or protecting the owner’s rights.
The lawyers of “Prikhodko & Partners” support the registration of MAFs and temporary structures in Kyiv, Kyiv region, and other regions of Ukraine: they analyze the situation, prepare documents, communicate with authorities, and help minimize legal risks for the business.

In practice, an entrepreneur may face refusal to approve the location, requirements for the appearance of the structure, the need to prepare technical documentation, land use issues, or claims from landscaping authorities.
An attorney helps assess risks in advance, prevent the installation of a temporary structure in a prohibited location, prepare the correct document package, and protect the client’s interests in case of a dispute. This is especially important if the MAF is being installed in Kyiv, near a road, in a commercially attractive location, on private land, or in an area with restrictions.
Legal support allows not only to obtain documents, but also to avoid further problems with inspections, cancellation of documents, demolition, or inability to extend the placement period of the temporary structure.
