I have many years of experience in business and employee legalization in Poland. I have opened 35+ companies, help entrepreneurs correctly launch their businesses, obtain work permits, and assist with international business trip processes (A1, PESEL, tax residency). I know the system from the inside, as I have personally run a business in Poland and sent my employees to work on projects in the EU. Therefore, I work not only as a consultant but also as a practitioner who has walked this path. I also specialize in recruiting staff from Asia, the Middle East, and South America for Polish companies and other EU countries. I have extensive experience with both B2C clients (residence cards, administrative services) and B2B (arranging documents for company employees).
How I Registered a Company in Poland in Just Two Days and Helped Start Its Operations
Registering a company in Poland usually takes several weeks, but thanks to proper preparation and the use of the electronic system E-KRS, I was able to get official confirmation in just 48 hours. After that, I helped the company owner open a bank account and prepare documents to participate in a tender.
Document Preparation
To expedite the registration process, we prepared all necessary documents in advance:
- Company Statute: A standard statute was used during registration, where conditions can be selected that best suit the company owner. For example, if the company has two founders, it can be determined whether they can make decisions independently or if each decision requires the signature of both founders.
- Founders' Information: We gathered all the necessary information about the company owner.
- Legal Address: An exact address was chosen for the company registration.
- Share Capital: The minimum capital amount was determined according to the company's needs.
- Activity Classification (PKD): After consultations with the company owner, we selected the main and additional economic activity codes for registration.
- Payment of State Fees and Court Fees: We ensured timely payment for a fast application review.
Application Submission via eKRS System
05.12.2022 at 19:01 – The application was successfully submitted via the eKRS electronic system. Payment confirmation and registration were received within the next 30 minutes.
Fast Court Decision
Typically, the review process can take several days or even weeks, but my case was reviewed very quickly. 07.12.2022 at 10:30 – The company was officially registered, entered into the KRS (National Court Register), and could begin operations.
Bank Account Opening and CRBR Report
After the company registration, we visited the bank with the client to open a bank account. For this, we also submitted the CRBR (Central Register of Beneficial Owners) report, which is a mandatory step after company registration. The account was successfully opened in all the necessary currencies for business operations.
Business Launch and Tender Participation
After registration, the company was able to begin operations. The next day, we started preparing documents for participating in a tender for construction works in Poland.
