Company Registration in Poland
We set up a company in Poland from start to finish and remotely. This suits entrepreneurs entering the Polish market and foreign companies opening a subsidiary here.
Poland is one of the largest markets in the EU, and a Polish company is for those who sell in Poland, hire staff or build manufacturing and logistics for Europe. The most common form is the sp. z o.o., a limited liability company. It is registered in the National Court Register (KRS), after which the company receives its tax and statistical numbers. We handle company registration in Poland remotely, and the whole process usually takes 2–4 weeks.
A separate focus is corporate investors. When a foreign company enters Poland, it needs more than a registered subsidiary: management, representation and intra-group agreements have to be set up properly. We support such projects at the start and help with investor programs if they suit you.

Timeline
Usually 2–4 weeks including document preparation and translations.
Timelines are approximate: government agencies, consulates and banks set them.
What to watch out for
- Documents of a foreign corporate founder without an apostille and a sworn translation delay registration
- If the management board in fact runs the company from another country, tax questions arise
- Polish banks check foreign owners thoroughly; the bank decides on the account
- As of October 2026, Poland admits citizens of Russia only under specific exceptions, and a business trip at a company's invitation is not one of them, so we check this before starting
- EU rules cap personal deposits of Russian citizens without EU residence at €100,000 per bank. The cap does not directly apply to a Polish company's account, but banks check such owners more strictly
FAQ
How much does it cost?
Our service fee is on request. Government fees, translations, insurance and other mandatory costs are paid separately; we send the full estimate before you sign.
Can I open a company in Poland remotely?
Yes. We handle the registration remotely, by power of attorney or with an electronic signature. A personal visit may be needed for the bank. Everything else, from the articles of association to the KRS filing, is done without you having to travel.
How long does company registration in Poland take?
Roughly 2–4 weeks, including document preparation and translations. If the founder is a foreign company, the timing depends on how quickly its documents with an apostille and a sworn translation are ready.
What is an sp. z o.o.?
It is the Polish limited liability company, the most common form for small and medium businesses. Shareholders are liable for the company's debts up to their contributions, and the company is managed by a management board. The minimum share capital is PLN 5,000.
Can a foreigner be a board member of a Polish company?
Yes, citizenship and residence are not required for that. But if a board member plans to live and work in Poland, they need the appropriate immigration status, which is a separate matter.
How do you help corporate investors?
We register the subsidiary and help with the parent company's documents, the management structure and intra-group agreements. If there are suitable investor support programs, we explain how to take part in them.
Do you guarantee the result?
No. Decisions are made by government agencies, consulates and banks. We are responsible for preparing and checking documents, filing and support, and we tell you about the risks upfront.
