What is the cost or how much does it cost to check a company (business) in Poland?
To get an answer to this question, it is necessary to understand that the cost of due diligence in Poland, as elsewhere, depends on the volume of work that lawyers and auditors need to carry out, on the number of issues that are investigated, on the volume of materials provided for verification, on the complexity in access to the information that needs to be checked.
Full due diligence report (full scope) – the most detailed and complete analysis of all provided documents, open sources of information, as well as sources of information with limited access.
Selective due diligence report (red flag report) — only those questions raised for research are checked.

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.
