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.

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).
