We support businesses and investors in choosing the right legal structure, registering a company or branch, and setting up operations in Poland. We coordinate legal, tax and accounting support - from selecting the structure to becoming operational.
Requirements depend on the selected entity type and ownership structure. At the outset, businesses will usually need information on planned activities, shareholders and beneficial owners, management, financing and expected transactions. A foreign investor may also need to provide corporate records of the parent company. After an initial discussion, Crowe provides a project-specific list of required information and documents.
Establishing a legal entity is an important milestone, but market entry also requires decisions about taxation, banking, accounting, employment and compliance. Explore the Doing Business in Poland resources.
