Setting up a company in Poland

The choice of legal form depends on many factors, including the scale of the business, the number of partners, investment plans and the business model.

For smaller projects, a sole proprietorship (JDG) is often chosen because it is simple and inexpensive to run. A limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) is a good choice for larger ventures with several partners. The simple joint-stock company (PSA) was designed with start-ups in mind and is particularly useful when raising capital from investors.

During the consultation we analyse your situation carefully in order to recommend the most suitable solution.

The registration time depends on the legal form chosen and on the registration route, for example online through CEIDG or the S24 system for companies, or the traditional procedure at the KRS.

Bear in mind that the complete process, which also covers obtaining the NIP, VAT registration and notifications to ZUS, can take longer than the entry in the register itself. We agree the exact timeline with you during the first consultation.

To register a company you need, among others: the articles of association, documents confirming the right to use the premises where the registered office will be, statements from the management board members, identity documents of the partners and members of the company bodies, confirmation that the share capital has been paid in, and the NIP and REGON applications.

For companies registered through the S24 online system, a qualified electronic signature or a trusted profile (profil zaufany, the Polish e-government login) is required.

Setting up a company focused on international markets involves the standard registration steps in Poland, supplemented by additional elements. We advise on a tax structure suited to international business, help with registration in VIES (the EU VAT number system) for intra-EU trade, and advise on protecting intellectual property, foreign expansion and international contracts.

We also take into account the specifics of international settlements, VAT in different countries and the tax optimisation options available for cross-border business.
