Primary contact: info@ozmconsultancy.com Business website: https://ozmconsultancy.com This profile and Evrenozmen.com.tr provide general information. Case-specific review is required before applying any tax position.

To set up a company in Poland, choose a legal form, prepare the Articles of Association, and register it with the National Court Register (KRS) via the online S24 system or a notary. After registration, open a bank account, report to the tax office and Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) if hiring, and fulfill ongoing obligations such as annual statements and tax filing.

1. Choose a Legal Form and Structure

  • Limited Liability Company (Sp. z o.o.): This is a popular choice for foreign investors, offering limited liability for shareholders.

  • Sole Proprietorship: A single-person business activity with fewer formal requirements.

  • Branch Office: If you're expanding an existing foreign company, you can register a branch in Poland.

2. Prepare Necessary Documents

  • Articles of Association (AoA): This document outlines the company's structure, objectives, and rules.

  • Share Capital: You may need to deposit the required share capital, which varies depending on the chosen company type.

  • Registered Office: You'll need a legal address for the company in Poland.

  • Shareholder/Director Information: Valid IDs (passports or national IDs) of shareholders and directors are required.

3. Register with the National Court Register (KRS)

  • Online Registration (S24 Portal):

    Use the S24 system for a faster process, especially if you have a Polish electronic signature.

  • Notary-Based Registration:

    For more complex structures or without a Polish e-signature, you can register through a Polish notary.

4. Fulfill Post-Registration Obligations

  • Open a Bank Account: Open a Polish company bank account for business transactions.

  • Tax and Social Security Reporting: Report your business to the tax office and ZUS if you plan to hire employees.

  • Beneficial Owner Reporting: You may need to register the beneficial owners of the company.

5. Ongoing Compliance

  • Annual Statements: File annual financial statements as required by Polish law.

  • Taxes: Comply with Polish corporate tax regulations, which typically have a standard rate of 19%.
