The formal requirements and registration process for starting a business involve several key steps. In the first stage, the foreign national must choose the legal form of the business and select a company name. The available business structures include:
✓ Sole proprietorship (jednoosobowa działalność gospodarcza);
✓ Capital companies (spółki kapitałowe);
✓ Partnerships (spółki osobowe),
The next step involves obtaining a Tax Identification Number (NIP) and a National Business Registry Number (REGON). Additionally, opening a business bank account is required.
Foreigners who meet the following conditions can conduct business in Poland under the same rules as Polish citizens. As a result, they do not need to obtain additional permits but only need to complete the standard business registration process.
Opening a business in Poland as a foreigner allows entrepreneurs to run their own company and offers numerous business opportunities. To establish a sole proprietorship (own business), certain formal requirements must be met.
