Starting a business in Poland begins with a fundamental question: which legal form is right for your business?
 
Polish law offers several ways of conducting business, from operating as a sole trader or through a Polish company, such as a limited liability company or a joint-stock company, to conducting business in Poland through a branch of a foreign entrepreneur. Each structure comes with different rules on liability, management, taxation, financing and corporate formalities.
 
Join us for a practical overview of the most common business structures in Poland and learn what entrepreneurs and foreign investors should consider before choosing the right legal vehicle.
 
We will compare the key features of each structure, highlight common pitfalls and discuss when it may make sense to change or restructure an existing business.
 
The webinar will cover:
 
  • the main legal forms available for doing business in Poland;
  • how a Polish limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) works in practice;
  • operating in Poland through a branch of a foreign entrepreneur – key features, limitations and practical considerations;
  • management liability;
  • corporate governance and day-to-day formalities;
  • taxation and social security considerations;
  • bringing in investors, partners or financing;
