Business Setup and Support in Poland

Comprehensive business launch in Poland: company registration, registered office, bank account, accounting support, VAT and ongoing legal services.

Poland remains one of the most popular jurisdictions for Ukrainian businesses due to its proximity to Ukraine, familiar market, access to the EU and the large number of Ukrainian entrepreneurs already operating in the country.

Prikhodko & Partners is one of the leading partners for Ukrainian businesses in matters of establishing companies in Poland. We provide comprehensive support: helping clients choose the optimal form of operation — Sp. z o.o. or JDG, prepare documents, register the business, open a corporate account and arrange accounting and tax support.

We coordinate the process with local partners in Poland and help prepare the company for actual operations in the EU market. During the consultation, a lawyer will determine the structure, timeframe and further steps — from VAT and agreements to corporate changes or ongoing legal services.

Sp. z o.o. incorporation procedure: step by step

Registration of an Sp. z o.o. in Poland may be completed through the S24 system if the standard articles of association template is suitable, or through notarisation of individually drafted articles of association for more complex structures. We provide turnkey support: from document preparation to KRS, CRBR, tax procedures, account opening and company launch.

Stage 1

Identification and electronic signature

We determine who will sign the documents and help arrange a Profil Zaufany or qualified electronic signature. Where necessary, we support obtaining a PESEL number and access to electronic services.

Stage 2

Corporate structure

We help determine the composition of founders and the management board, the amount of share capital, PKD codes and registered office, and prepare documents for company registration.

Stage 3

KRS registration

We submit documents to Poland’s National Court Register. Once the company is entered in the KRS, it receives its registration details, including NIP and REGON.

Stage 4

CRBR, e-Doręczenia and tax procedures

After registration, we support the filing of beneficial ownership information with the CRBR, arrangement of e-Doręczenia and submission of the necessary tax forms. Where required, we also assist with VAT / VAT-UE.

Stage 5

Corporate account and operational launch

We prepare a dossier for a bank or payment institution and explain the business model, ownership structure and expected transactions. We then assist with accounting, agreements and legal support.

ZUS, CRBR and banking compliance: what to consider when opening an Sp. z o.o.

Company registration in Poland is only the first stage. For an Sp. z o.o. to operate fully after being entered in the KRS, it is important to plan the ownership structure, tax procedures, beneficial ownership information, banking compliance and ongoing company administration in advance.

Prikhodko & Partners helps prepare the company not only for registration but also for actual operational activities in Poland, taking into account ZUS, CRBR, e-Doręczenia, VAT / VAT-UE where required, banking requirements and future interaction with counterparties.

Key risks after company registration

  • ZUS for a single-member Sp. z o.o.
    If 100% of the shares in the company are owned by one person, such a structure may create additional ZUS contribution obligations. Therefore, before registration it is worth assessing whether a single-member model is appropriate or whether a different ownership structure should be used.
  • Banking KYC / AML compliance
    Registration of a company in the KRS does not guarantee the automatic opening of a corporate account. A bank or payment institution may review the ownership structure, source of funds, business model, future counterparties and the company’s connection with Poland.
  • CRBR and beneficial ownership information
    After company registration, information on the actual beneficial owners must be filed with the CRBR in a timely manner and updated when the ownership or control structure changes. Errors or delays may create problems during compliance reviews.
  • e-Doręczenia, VAT and post-registration procedures
    After the company is entered in the KRS, official electronic communication, tax forms, accounting and VAT / VAT-UE where required must be arranged. Without these steps, the company may be formally registered but not ready for full operations.

How we reduce these risks

Before registration, we analyse not only the fact of opening the company itself, but also how it will operate after launch: who will be the owner and director, which transactions are planned, whether VAT is required, which bank or payment institution is suitable and which documents may be required for the KYC / AML review.

  • select the Sp. z o.o. structure taking into account ZUS, management and future operations;
  • prepare documents for KRS, CRBR, e-Doręczenia and tax procedures;
  • help prepare a banking dossier for the KYC / AML review;
  • support the company after registration: account, accounting, VAT, agreements and legal services.

Frequently asked questions

How long does company registration take?

If the remote S24 system with standard articles of association is used, the procedure for entering the company in the register takes from 1 to 7 business days. If the business requires individually drafted articles of association, the process is completed through a Polish notary and takes from 14 to 21 days. Additional time will be required to open a bank account, depending on how quickly banking compliance is completed.

Which is better for a foreigner: JDG or Sp. z o.o.?

Individual business activity (JDG) is primarily suitable for freelancers, but it has two critical disadvantages: unlimited financial liability with all personal assets and high monthly ZUS contributions (more than PLN 2,350 per month in 2026). An Sp. z o.o. protects personal assets (liability is limited to capital starting from PLN 5,000) and allows ZUS contributions to be completely avoided if the company has two or more founders.

Is it necessary to immediately deposit the PLN 5,000 share capital into an account?

No. Under Polish law, during registration it is sufficient to provide an electronic declaration of the management board confirming that the minimum share capital (PLN 5,000) has been fully formed and contributed by the founders. There is no requirement to freeze the funds in a special bank account before company registration.
