Company Registration in Poland: A Successful Start for an Auto Import Business
My client, a Ukrainian citizen, approached me with the goal of opening a company in Poland for the import and export of cars. Since he had no experience in running a business in the European Union, he needed qualified legal support for the efficient and smooth launch of his business. The main task was to ensure the fast, legal registration of the company and obtain all necessary numbers and licenses for international trade.
After a detailed consultation with the client, we determined that the best option for him was the legal form of a limited liability company (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością, Sp. z o.o.), which is the most popular among foreign entrepreneurs in Poland. This would provide him with reliable legal protection and legalize his business within the EU.
Work Process
Preparation and Submission of Documents
After we determined the type of company, we developed and agreed on the company’s charter with the client, and then submitted all the necessary documents to the National Court Register (KRS). Thanks to our professional approach, the company registration was completed in just 2 days.
Registration with Tax Authorities
After successful registration with the KRS, we submitted the documents to the tax authorities to obtain the following numbers:
- NIP (Tax Identification Number): tax identification number.
- REGON (National Business Registry): business statistical number.
- VAT (Value Added Tax): VAT number for conducting commercial activity.
We also ensured the company’s entry into the Beneficial Owners Register (CRBR), which is a mandatory step for legal entities in Poland.
Obtaining EORI for International Trade
Since the client planned to engage in the import and export of cars, it was important to obtain the EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification), which is required for international trade within the EU. We promptly submitted the application and ensured its timely receipt.
Business Launch and First Successes
Thanks to coordinated work and a professional approach at every stage, the client received a fully legalized company in Poland in just 2 days. Now he can freely engage in the import and export of cars without legal obstacles.
