The first thing you need to do to register a business in Poland is to prepare the documents. It is important to remember that foreigners are subject to a number of additional requirements when registering a business.
In order to open a business in Poland, you must obtain a PESEL. If the documents are submitted electronically, a trusted EPUAP profile is also required.
An entrepreneur wishing to legalize activities in Poland can do so in two ways:
Commercial activity in Poland is regulated by the law “On Free Conduct of Business”. The law allows doing business not only to Poles, but also to foreigners – citizens of EU countries, Norway, Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It is also available to Ukrainians, Belarusians and citizens of other CIS countries. The requirements that an entrepreneur must meet to register a company under Polish law are only two. He must be an adult (over 18 years old) and have an internal passport of his country, the validity of which will last for at least 18 months after the submission of documents for registration. The nationality of the entrepreneur is irrelevant, as well as the type of visa, if he resides in Poland on a visa.
If an entrepreneur with citizenship of another country has obtained a Pole Card or already has a residence permit, he/she is allowed to open a company on the general grounds applicable to Polish citizens. At the same time, the Pole Card allows the businessman to obtain Polish citizenship in the future, as well as to receive financial assistance from the state for the development of his business.
Foreigners who do not have a Pole Card can open a company and work legally in Poland. The state allows them to register companies of the following legal forms:
If a person already has a registered company corresponding to one of the above forms, it is possible to open a branch in Poland.
Before preparing the documents, it is worth deciding on the niche of entrepreneurial activity and the legal form of the company.
It is not recommended for novice entrepreneurs to register a large company at once, as it will entail quite high costs, and there are high risks of failure and lack of profit. It is worth starting by registering a small business.
Having determined the niche, it is important to correctly determine the appropriate legal form, weighing all the pros and cons. It is worth considering that obtaining documents of individual entrepreneur and LLC registration – different procedures, differing in complexity, time and cost.
By contacting the PWK team, you can open a company of any form and do it as quickly as possible.
Most businessmen choose to register an LLC or a Sp. z o.o. In Poland, this is easier than registering a joint-stock company or a limited company.
It does not take much time to open an LLC or a Sp. z o.o. in Poland. And a company with this legal status can carry out almost any type of commercial activity.
One of the main advantages of Sp. z o.o. is the lack of responsibility for the company for the co-founders. For example, if a controversial situation arises that can be resolved in court, the company is liable using only its property and authorized capital, and not the property of the founders. By law, co-founders and members of the board of a limited liability company can be not only strangers to each other, but also relatives, members of the same family, for example, spouses.
One person or several persons have the right to register a business with the Sp. z o.o. form in Poland.
The minimum amount of the authorized capital of an LLC is 5,000 zlotys.
Important! Foreigners who have registered an LLC, according to Polish law, do not have the right to engage in several types of activities. Namely, they cannot open a business related to the central banking system, life and property insurance, pension insurance, and financial management.
