There is no such business visa, but it's possible to incorporate a company and employ yourself as the director, which is grounds for issuing of a work visa.
I'm not sure of the cost, but I know a few English language tutors who operate that way, so it can't be too expensive.

There is no visa allowing you to stay longer then 90 days in a 180 day period. You would need to apply for temporary residency which can be obtained in three ways.
1. Open a company which would then employ you and obtaining a work permit. The work permit then allows you to apply for temporary residency which is renewable every year.
2. Invest $100.00.00 in Ukraine
3. Marry a Ukraine national.

It is straightforward.
Open a company, Apply for and receive your work permit then apply for and receive the temporary residency. Before applying for the temporary residency you would have to go to a Ukrainian embassy or consulate to get a D Visa.

You can transfer funds into the business. The whole process takes between 8 to 10 weeks but you would need to be here in person for some of the processes.
