Assistance to foreigners in registering a business in Poland

It is important to take into account all the nuances when submitting a package of documents to the state authorities, as starting a business for foreigners has its own peculiarities. We offer comprehensive services for citizens of various countries wishing to register a legal entity in Poland.

Possible options for starting a business in Poland:

Registration of individual entrepreneurship (JDG) through CEIDG

To open a JDG, an application must be submitted to the Central Entrepreneurial Register (CEIDG). The process can be done online, making it convenient and fast. Registration through CEIDG is free of charge and does not require payment of state fees. Entrepreneurs do not need to deposit an authorised capital, which is a big advantage compared to other forms of business. However, not all foreigners can register a JDG; restrictions depend on their residence status. During the registration process, it is crucial to choose the right PKD code that accurately describes the type of activity of your business. Incorrect selection may lead to legal complications and tax problems in the future. Therefore, it is strongly recommended to seek professional assistance in JDG registration to avoid possible problems.

Remote registration of a company (Sp. z o.o.) through the S24 system

The S24 system offers the possibility of simplified and accelerated online company registration. This is particularly convenient for residents of other countries, as it allows a foreigner to open a company in Poland without having to be physically present in the country. The process involves preparing and signing company documents online, using an electronic signature and paying state fees online. Opening a company via S24 usually takes between 1 and 5 working days.

Registration of a company (Sp. z o.o.) through the court

The traditional method of registering a company in Poland involves filing documents through the registration court, which includes notarisation of the founding documents and can take 4 to 5 weeks. This method is suitable for those who need to customise the founding documents or when a more thorough legal protection of the interests of the company's shareholders is required.

Price and terms of registration

We offer competitive rates and transparent terms of co-operation. By giving our clients the opportunity to discuss all details at an initial free consultation, we aim for complete transparency and understanding of all aspects of co-operation.

Registering a sole proprietorship or company in Poland requires a number of key steps related to tax and regulatory obligations:

Obtaining registration numbers

In the process of registering your company or opening a JDG, your legal entity will be assigned a taxpayer identification number (NIP) and a REGON number. NIP is used for all tax and business transactions in Poland. For Sp. z o.o. is also assigned a KRS number.

Opening a bank account:

For Sp. z o.o. opening a bank account in a Polish bank is mandatory. This account will be used for all financial transactions of your company.

For JDG. a separate bank account is not required. However, we strongly recommend our clients to open a separate bank account for JDG purposes. This will help avoid accounting confusion and simplify financial management in the future.

IRS Notice:

After the registration of Sp. z o.o. it is necessary to notify the tax office about the start of business activities, register in the register of beneficiaries and pay the civil transaction tax (PCC).

When registering a JDG, the entrepreneur must choose the taxation system. It can be a system on general grounds (zasady ogólne), linear tax (podatek liniowy), tax on registered income (ryczałt). If the entrepreneur does not specify a preferred taxation system when registering, the zasady ogólne system is applied by default. Our specialists During consultations, they tell you in detail about the existing taxation systems and help you choose the most optimal one, based on the specifics of your business.

If your business is subject to VAT, you should register as a VAT (VAT) payer - this applies to both JDG and spoolock.

Registration in the ZUS system

Sp. z o.o.: If a company employs employees, it is obliged to register with the ZUS social insurance system. This is necessary for the payment of social contributions and insurance premiums for employees.

JDG: For JDG Registration with ZUS is compulsory. Submit information to ZUS is required within 7 days of the commencement of the business activity.

Preparation and filing of financial statements:

Legal entities in Poland are obliged to keep full accounting in accordance with Polish law, as well as filing financial statements with the IRS and judicial authorities.

It is also important to consider the price of administrative fees and duties associated with these processes. These steps ensure that your company will operate in full compliance with Polish law and European standards.
