How to register a transport company in Poland: a step-by-step guide

Registering a transport company in Poland is not just a formality; it's a strategic step towards success in the European market. If you're aiming to elevate your business, here's what you need to know.

 

What is a transport company?

A transport company is a legal entity or enterprise whose primary activity is the transportation of goods or passengers using various modes of transport: road, rail, maritime, aviation, or combined. In simpler terms, it's a company that organizes and carries out the delivery of goods or people from one place to another.

 

Algorithm for registering a transport company in Poland

  • Choosing the business structure: Sp. z o.o.: For foreign entrepreneurs, the best option is to register a limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.). This form limits personal liability and is the most common among transport companies. The registration process can be done remotely or through a notary and typically takes 2–3 weeks.
  • Obtaining necessary licenses and permits: to engage in transport activities in Poland, you need to obtain a license to perform the profession of a road carrier. This allows both national and international transport operations. The cost of the license depends on its validity period and the number of vehicles. For example, a 5-year license costs approximately 8,000 PLN.
  • Selecting a legal address and opening a bank account: to register a company, you need a legal address in Poland. Many foreign entrepreneurs opt for "virtual offices" that provide an address for registration and handle correspondence. Additionally, you need to open a bank account in a Polish bank for the company's financial operations.
  • Preparing necessary documents: for company registration and obtaining a license, you need to prepare the following documents: passport or another ID document, proof of a legal address in Poland, confirmation of the company's manager's qualifications (competence certificate). Proof of the company's financial capacity (minimum capital).
  • Registering with relevant registers and authorities: after preparing the documents, you need to register the company with the following authorities: Central Registration and Information on Business Activity (CEIDG) or the National Court Register (KRS), depending on the business structure, General Inspectorate of Road Transport (GITD) for obtaining a carrier license, Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) for registration in the social security system, Tax Office for obtaining a taxpayer identification number (NIP). The registration and licensing process can take from several days to several weeks, depending on the completeness of the submitted documents and the efficiency of the relevant authorities.

Additional aspects and recommendations

  1. Choosing vehicles: the choice of vehicle type and number depends on the volume of planned transport and the scope of activities.
  2. Hiring personnel: you need to hire drivers and other staff who meet legal requirements and have the necessary qualifications.
  3. Insurance: it's recommended to conclude insurance contracts for vehicles and third-party liability.
  4. Accounting: ensure proper accounting and tax reporting in accordance with Polish legislation.
