Company Formation and Business Services in Poland
What type of company do you recommend?
We generally recommend establishing a Limited Liability Company (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, Sp. z o.o.), which is the most popular and flexible legal form in Poland. It offers limited liability protection and requires a minimum share capital of 5,000 PLN.
Do I need a physical office in Poland?
No, you don’t need to rent a full office space. However, every company must have a registered office address in Poland. We can provide a registered business address through our virtual office service, which fully complies with Polish regulations.
What is the corporate tax rate in Poland?
The standard corporate income tax (CIT) rate is 19%, while small taxpayers may benefit from a reduced rate of 9%, depending on their annual turnover. Our accounting partners can help you determine which rate applies to your company.
What is the VAT rate in Poland?
The standard VAT rate is 23%. Reduced rates of 8% and 5% apply to specific products and services, such as food, books, and certain medical goods. We can assist you with VAT registration and ongoing compliance.
How long does it take to register a company?
With our assistance, company registration can be completed in as little as 3–7 business days, provided all required documents are prepared correctly. We handle all procedures with the Polish National Court Register (KRS) to ensure a smooth process.
Are there any restrictions on business activities?
Polish companies can operate in almost any sector. However, certain industries (such as finance, energy, or transport) may require special permits or licenses. We will advise you on any specific requirements relevant to your business activity.
Can the shareholders or directors live outside Poland?
Yes, both shareholders and directors can reside abroad. There are no residency restrictions for foreign owners or managers. However, we ensure that your company remains compliant with local management and tax obligations.
Are there any mandatory contributions or advance taxes?
Companies are required to pay corporate income tax and, if registered, VAT. Social insurance (ZUS) contributions apply only for employees or active directors receiving remuneration. We can handle all accounting and reporting obligations for you.
What are the costs of setting up and maintaining a company?
The total cost depends on your company’s size, structure, and service needs. Our formation packages include company registration, a registered office address, and accounting support — all at a competitive rate. Contact us for a detailed quotation.
