ESTABLISHING BUSINESS IN POLAND

STARTING A COMPANY

In Poland, any foreign person may conduct business activity on Polish territory as part of a limited liability company. In the case of conducting business in the form of a capital company, the applicable legal regulations entitle all foreign persons to both establish and participate in a limited liability company. on the same terms as those applicable to Polish citizens.
There are several ways for foreign persons to register a company in Poland without having to visit Poland in person. Examples:
  • establishing a new company in Poland through a power of attorney granted in the form of a notarial deed to a law firm that will be able to represent the client both before the notary public and the registry court; such a procedure takes about 14-30 days.
  • registration of a company in Poland in electronic form via an online system. This method is possible only for people with a Polish electronic signature. In the absence of a Polish electronic signature, the establishment of a company will be possible only by granting a power of attorney to a law firm; The procedure for setting up a company online usually takes 24 hours, usually 2-7 days.
  • purchase of a ready-made company in Poland, which takes place on the basis of a power of attorney granted to a lawyer to represent in Poland.
ESTABLISHING A BRANCH

A branch of a foreign company is one of the possible forms of conducting business activity in Poland. A branch is part of the business activity of a foreign entrepreneur and it is not possible to conduct business activity in its own name and on its own account. As part of a branch, a foreign company conducts its business activity outside its registered office or main place of business, and the subject of this activity may not go beyond the scope of activity conducted by the foreign company in the country of its registered office.

A branch of a foreign company is a separate entity in organizational, personal, economic and technical terms, however, it does not have legal personality, which means that it has no personality and legal capacity. The foreign entrepreneur is responsible for the obligations of the branch. The Branch also has no legal capacity and cannot be a party to court proceedings, with the exception of employee matters. A branch of a foreign company employs on the basis of authorization granted by a foreign company.

A foreign company may start operating in Poland as part of its branch after it has been entered in the register of entrepreneurs of the National Court Register. Together with the application for entry in the register of entrepreneurs, the foreign company must submit to the register files:

  • If it operates on the basis of the founding act, agreement or statute - a copy of these documents,
  • If it operates on the basis of an entry in the register - an extract from this register together with a certified translation into Polish.

A foreign company operating a branch in Poland is obliged to pay CIT and VAT.

Branches based in Poland may be established by foreign entrepreneurs based in all countries belonging to the European Union or the European Economic Area, while other entrepreneurs may operate in Poland, provided that ratified international agreements signed by Poland allow it. Entrepreneurs may establish a branch in Poland on the basis of reciprocity, i.e. the possibility of establishing a branch depends on whether international agreements provide Polish entrepreneurs with similar rights abroad.

The establishment of a branch in Poland creates an obligation for the foreign company to appoint a person authorized to represent it, which may be a natural person, both a Polish citizen and a foreigner.

A foreign company that has established a branch is obliged to:

  • use the original name of the foreign entrepreneur to designate the branch, together with the name of the legal form of the entrepreneur translated into Polish and the words "branch in Poland",
  • keep separate accounts for the branch in Polish in accordance with the accounting regulations,
  • notify the Minister of Development and Technology of any changes in the factual and legal status within 14 days of their occurrence.

ESTABLISHING A REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE

A representative office is a legal institution enabling foreign entrepreneurs to conduct activities in the territory of Poland in the field of promotion and advertising of products or services offered by them. A representative office has a much smaller scope of competence than a branch of a foreign company. Running a representative office does not entitle you to run a business in Poland. Thanks to the representative office, a foreign entity can promote itself, e.g. by participating in fairs, conferences and other industry events, but it cannot act as a branch, incur obligations with current or new contractors.
A representative office is a convenient way to attract customers from Poland without the need to set up a company, which is a time-consuming and expensive process.
In the case of establishing a representative office, the principle of reciprocity does not apply, and therefore a representative office can be established by any foreign entrepreneur, regardless of whether the country in which the entity is registered belongs to the European Union or the Free Trade Agreement (EFTA). The condition for opening a representative office in Poland is obtaining an entry in the register of representative offices of foreign entrepreneurs. Permission to open a representative office of a foreign enterprise in Poland is issued by the minister of development and technology as the minister responsible for economy.
In order to obtain an entry in the indicated register, an application must be submitted with attachments and confirmation of payment of the stamp duty. The application for entry is drawn up in Polish and should contain:
  • name, seat and legal form of the foreign company;
  • the subject of the main economic activity of the foreign company;
  • name and surname of the person authorized to represent it in the representative office;
  • address of the seat of the representative office in the territory of the Republic of Poland.
A foreign company wishing to open a representative office in Poland is required to have a legal title to the premises (e.g. a lease agreement), which is its headquarters in Poland. In addition, he is obliged to appoint a person authorized to represent him in Poland.
