Key Facts About Polish Limited Liability Companies (sp. z o.o.)
Can I register a Polish company limited as a foreigner?
Yes! Foreigners can register and own companies in Poland. You don't need to be a citizen or resident. You can also serve on the board of directors.
What is the minimum share capital?
The minimum share capital is 5,000 PLN, but we recommend 20,000 - 50,000 PLN for smoother operations. This capital can be in cash or non-cash contributions (though non-cash is less advisable for tax reasons).
Corporate tax rates (CIT)?
Poland has a 9% corporate income tax rate for companies with income up to 2 million EUR, and 19% for those exceeding this threshold. We can help you explore potential tax incentives to further optimize your business.
How long does it take to register a Polish company limited?
Online registration typically takes 24-48 hours, while registration via notarial deed can take about a week. We specialize in fast, efficient online registration.
How do I open a limited liability company in Poland?
You can register either electronically or through a notary public. Online registration is usually the fastest and most convenient option, especially for simpler company structures. We can guide you through the entire process.
What are the steps to open an LLC in Poland?
Besides the company registration, there are additional steps:
- Obtaining a Polish PESEL number (national identification number).
- Obtaining an ePUAP trusted profile (for digital signatures and online interactions with authorities).
- Securing an office space or virtual registered address.
- Registering for taxes (NIP-8).
- Registering with the Social Security Office (ZUS).

- Opening a bank account.
- Paying in the share capital.
- Registering for VAT (optional, but recommended for potential refunds).
Do I need to visit Poland to form a limited liability company?
