TKEG Expat handles company registration in Poland for foreign founders who want a compliant Sp. z o.o. without visiting the country. This company formation service covers incorporation of a Polish limited liability company through the KRS National Court Register, plus initial tax registration (PCC-3) and NIP-8 supplementary filing. The minimum share capital of 5,000 PLN can be paid in cash for smaller amounts, avoiding a capital verification bank account, while larger sums follow the required process. TKEG Expat also arranges the Polish E-Signature necessary for natural-person shareholders and directors, a registered Polish address, corporate-shareholder incorporation, and subsequent VAT registration. Because Polish law forbids a company registered with 100% ownership by another limited liability company, TKEG Expat advises on shareholder structure and joint stock alternatives where relevant. Every business benefits from clear guidance on documents, fees, and post-registration compliance. Start your company registration in Poland with TKEG Expat and complete the entire process remotely with expert support.

Good to know
- We suggest the client to provide two shareholders to register a Polish company. If it is a sole proprietorship, the client will need to pay a social security tax to the Polish government annually (currently at 2,000 PLN per month).
- There may be translation fees if documents required are not written in Polish. Please consult with your customer relationship manager.
- If the registered capital is small (e.g. 5,000 PLN), it can be paid in cash (the company director signs a declaration to prove that the cash has been received), thus there is no need to open a capital verification account. If the registered capital is large, a capital verification account will be required.
- Moreover, Polish company law forbids to register Polish limited liability companies (sp. z o.o.) with 100% shareholding of another limited liability companies (either foreign or Polish).

Frequently Asked Questions
For most business activities, the Polish government does not impose any nationality or identity restrictions on foreigners registering a Polish company and does not require EU residency as a nominee director.
The traditional incorporation model of choosing a power of attorney requires a cumbersome document authentication process and a power of attorney can only be used once for the respective event. The e-signature option requires the customer to sign all company documents, including incorporation and subsequent filings or changes to the company's business information, in person via video authentication.
No. Under Polish company law, a sp. z o.o. cannot be wholly owned by a single LLC as sole shareholder; at least one additional shareholder must be added (for example, splitting ownership 99% to a corporate shareholder and 1% to an individual, or using two corporate shareholders).
Yes. When registering a Polish company whose director(s) also act as director(s) of a Luxembourg parent company, the directors of both the parent company and the prospective Polish company need to obtain an e-signature. If the same person is a director of both companies, only one e-signature is needed.
For Polish filings (e.g. VAT-R registration), documents must be printed and signed in two counterparts (copies), signed with a blue pen, with the signer writing their full name next to each signature. Signed scans alone are not sufficient — the original signed documents must be couriered to the lawyer/agent's address to complete the process.
Any individual holding more than 25% of the company must be declared as a beneficial owner (UBO). This is assessed by tracing the ownership chain through to the ultimate individual — including through a listed parent company. If a new financial report later shows that an individual crosses the 25% threshold, the UBO declaration must be corrected and supplementary supporting materials may be required.
Once the supplier confirms the proof of address and the incorporation process is started, it usually takes around 3 business days to complete.
A POA requirement is not tied to the applicant's nationality. Incorporation in Portugal, Spain, Poland, Malta and Cyprus may not require a POA, but this ultimately depends on the lawyer/supplier handling the specific case. Poland in particular may require the shareholder to attend a meeting.
