How the process of registering a company goes step by step

We start with a consultation with the client to obtain all the necessary data to apply for company registration and prepare the relevant documents.
Obligatory stage is to establish the order of representation of the company by the members of the management board. At this stage it is important to decide on the name of the company, legal address, size of the registered capital.
After consultation, we draft the necessary documents and send the forms to the client for completing.
The company registration process takes place online in two ways:
  1. Registration without client’s participation – requires providing us with a power of attorney (electronic digital signature is required).
  2. Registration with live support – no power of attorney required (PESEL and Profil Zaufany required).
The application for registration is submitted to the National Court Registry (KRS). Thanks to the S24 system the process takes place online making the procedure much faster and simpler. After registration the company receives KRS, REGON and NIP numbers.
Once we have received the REGON and NIP numbers, we register the company in the Central Register of Beneficial Owners (CRBR). By law this must be done within 7 days of registration in KRS.After obtaining all the necessary numbers for business activities a bank account must be opened for the company.

Frequently asked questions

Thinking about how to open a company in Poland? Any foreigner can open a business in Poland in such a format as an LLC. Unlike a sole proprietorship, it is not required to have a certain type of visa, relevant legal status or a Polish card.

To register a sole proprietorship a foreigner needs a basis. The most common ones are Ukrainian citizenship, PBH visa, Polish Card, residence permit.

A company can be registered by any foreigner who is in Poland legally.

The authorised capital is not required for a sole proprietorship, while for a company the minimum amount of the authorised capital should be 5000 PLN.

It is possible to hire employees in both forms.

There are differences in material liability: in the case of a sole proprietorship the entrepreneur is liable for the obligations with all his personal property, while the members of the management board of the company are liable for the obligations of the company, but not for their property.

If you want to do business with a partner, there is no such possibility in the sole proprietorship format (but you can delegate the management of activities). If you have a company, then several founders can contribute the initial capital to start the business and fix it by determining the shares of each participant and distributing the roles of partners (shares, participation in the board, management, etc.).

Both forms of doing business are the basis for applying for a residence permit for foreigners.

– A company (LLC) can be registered either by one person or by several people. 

– Only 5000 PLN of registered capital is required to set up an LLC  

– It is possible to register a company in Poland either in person or remotely.

The most common types of companies in Poland are:

  • Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (Sp. z o.o.) — the Polish equivalent of limited liability companies. The authorised capital of a company of the type Sp. z o.o. should be only 5000 zł. Due to the ease of registration, this form is the most popular form of legal entity for foreigners.
  • Spółka akcyjna (S.A.) it is the Polish equivalent of joint stock companies. The authorised capital of an S.A. company must be at least 100,000 zł.
  • Przedstawicielstwo firmy zagranicznej (representative office of a foreign company) — a legal form of a company that can conduct business as a representative office of a foreign company from another country. If it is planned that the activity will be related to the IT sector, it is easiest to formalise a virtual representative office.

The right to legally conduct business – the ability to work officially, conclude contracts and co-operate with clients and partners.

It is also worth noting that when registering a business in Poland by a foreigner who has a residence card for work, it is necessary to re-submit documents for residence permit, as the basis for business is more important than the basis for work.

Yes, you can register a business in Poland while having your own business in any other country. You do not need to close your business and can do business in both countries at the same time.

Foreigners can easily register a company (spółka) in Poland. The process of opening an LLC or sole proprietorship can be done online.
