Your hassle-free business in Poland starts with IMOSTA
Setting up a business in Poland means making decisions in advance that will affect your tax liability, ZUS contributions, accounting, liability, documentation and the day-to-day running of your business. It is therefore important not simply to register a sole trader (JDG) or a limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.), but to understand which legal form is best suited to your particular situation.
IMOSTA Group works with foreign entrepreneurs and has an in-depth understanding of the Polish system: what issues arise at the outset, what requirements are important to bear in mind, what changes to the regulations might affect a business, and what mistakes are most commonly made when registering a business independently.
We advise and support our clients from the outset: we explain the available options, help them prepare the necessary data and documents, draw their attention to key obligations, and assist them in organising ongoing accounting and legal support for their business in Poland.
JDG or Sp. z o.o.: choose a direction.
Registration of JDG
The JDG is most commonly chosen by IT specialists, consultants, builders, drivers, tradespeople and other professionals who plan to work independently and are authorised to carry out self-employed work in Poland.
Registration of LLC (Sp. z o.o.)
Sp. z o.o. is most often chosen by entrepreneurs who wish to set up a company, work with partners, a team or B2B clients, or develop a larger-scale business model.

What our clients say about IMOSTA
FAQ
It depends on your circumstances: your residence status, the nature of your business, your clients, turnover, taxes, ZUS contributions, liability and future plans. During a consultation, IMOSTA helps you weigh up your options and work out which business structure is right for you.
Yes, but the options available depend on your nationality, residence status and legal grounds. It is therefore important to check, before registering, which form of business activity is available and suitable for your situation.
For foreign nationals, the ability to set up a JDG depends on their nationality, residence status, type of visa or residence permit, and the legal grounds for carrying out self-employment in Poland. It is therefore important to check, before registering, whether you are eligible to set up a JDG in your specific circumstances.
In many cases, the process can be carried out remotely, provided the client has the necessary information, documents and the means to sign. If a client needs to be present in person to obtain a digital signature, verify their identity or visit a government office, an IMOSTA specialist will explain the procedure in advance and accompany the client in person if necessary.
We analyse your situation, your planned activities, your residence status, the possible business structure, taxes, ZUS, VAT, your registered office, accounting and your initial obligations following registration. After the consultation, you will understand where to start and what documents and steps are required next.
For a Sp. z o.o., a registered office address in Poland is mandatory. For a JDG, the following must be provided: a residential address, an address for receiving correspondence and a business address (the latter is not mandatory for all types of business activity).
IMOSTA offers a virtual office service for JDG and Sp. z o.o.: a registered address, mail collection and convenient mail handling. During a consultation, a specialist will advise you on whether a virtual office can be used for registration in your particular case.
Yes. Clients who register their businesses with IMOSTA usually continue to use our services: we handle the accounting, tax, legal and administrative matters associated with running a business in Poland. This helps ensure they aren’t left to deal with paperwork, deadlines, invoices, ZUS, VAT, KSeF, the Tax Office and other day-to-day obligations on their own.
Yes. Legal advice is a separate, fee-based service offered by IMOSTA. You may need this if, prior to registration, you have any questions regarding the business structure, liability, founders, agreements between partners, the registered address, documents, contracts or the company’s future obligations.
Yes. IMOSTA supports clients and their family members with matters relating to legalisation through business: it provides advice, helps prepare the necessary documents, letters and explanations, and supports the process right up to the point of receiving a residence permit. The extent of this support depends on the client’s situation and the service chosen.
