    Frequently asked questions about company formation in Poland

    Which company type do foreigners usually choose in Poland?

    The most popular option for foreign entrepreneurs is Sp. z o.o. (limited liability company). It is suitable for working with EU clients, limits the owners’ liability, and offers a clear tax framework.

    For large investment projects or companies planning an IPO, a Joint Stock Company (SA) may be considered.

    Can a foreigner open a Sp. z o.o. in Poland remotely?

    Yes. Foreign nationals can register and own a company in Poland and act as its directors. Registration can be completed remotely through a power of attorney or a local representative.

    However, opening a bank account usually requires a personal visit to Poland by one of the founders or the director.

    What documents are required to register a Sp. z o.o. in Poland?

    Main documents:

    – Passport copies of the founders
    – Contact and registration details
    – Information about the ownership structure and business activity

    Based on this information, incorporation documents are prepared, and the company is registered in the state register.

    What are the main taxes for a Sp. z o.o. in Poland?

    Key tax obligations include:

    – Corporate Income Tax (CIT) — 9% or 19%, depending on annual turnover
    – VAT registration and reporting — if required
    – Annual financial statements and tax returns

    Specific requirements depend on turnover, business structure, and the type of activities.

    Can a company bank account be opened remotely?

    Yes, a company can open a bank account after registration. The bank conducts a business verification, so you will need to provide information about your activities, clients, and sources of income.

    In most cases, opening a bank account requires the personal presence in Poland of one of the founders or the director.
