Simple LLC establishment process

STEP BY STEP

Need discovery

  • We gather information about your business idea in Poland.
  • We discuss your needs and expectations.
  • We advise you on the best incorporation solutions, shareholder structure including future tax & legal implications.

Personal ID & e-Signature

We obtain for you:

  • Polish personal ID (PESEL)
  • e-Signature

There are two types of signatures: "Profil Zaufany" - free, government signature and "Qualified signature" - paid, working according to eIDAS regulation. We will help choose the best option for your needs.

Document preparation

We prepare all necessary documentation needed for company incorporation in your mother tongue or in English:

  • articles of association
  • translations
  • other corporate documents

Incorporation

We organize company incorporation process (remotely or in person)

  • signing documentation electronically
  • notary procedures (if necessary)

Registration & filings

We fully handle company registration process (electronically)

  • filing registration documents to Court Register
  • communication with the Court Register

We file all other necessary documentations and applications to Tax Office and other institutions.

Bank account

We open corporate bank account in one of Polish banks:

  • PKO Bank S.A. (biggest bank in Poland)
  • Pekao S.A. (second biggest)
  • Santander Bank Polska (third biggest)
  • mBank S.A. (fifth biggest)

We can open bank accounts also in other banks or financial institutions.

Additional steps

After company is registered we can arrange:

  • VAT registration
  • Licences, permits
  • Other documents, certificates or registrations

Mind that how you establish your company might impact future needs, or how efficiently something could be done. For example to obtain some licences, you need to have some particular NACE2 activities described in articles of association. If you do not have these, you will need to change articles of association and thus waste some time and money.

Additional costs and services

Some services or costs are required, but can differ depending on your situation (we do not know your planned share capital value or maybe you already have your address in Poland). This is why they are not summed into price shown above. You can also order some optional services (like VAT registration or other).

All presented prices do not contain VAT (if applicable).

Registration address
required

Share capital tax is a tax that you have to pay to the Polish tax office after you register the company. It is 0,5% of the share capital of your company. The minimum share capital is 5000 PLN (around 1100 EUR), so in this case the tax would be 25 PLN (around 5,5 EUR).

VAT registration

Company registered to VAT is allowed to get VAT returns from its purchases and make transactions without VAT applied with other European Union companies registered to VAT.

Available licences from 1 to 3 years.
