Invest & Establish in Poland

No. We provide orientation, coordination and administrative preparation. Regulated advice should be provided by qualified legal, tax or accounting professionals.

Auranik coordinates property-investment preparation and referrals where needed. We do not present ourselves as a licensed broker unless that status is confirmed.

Generally, yes -- but which type of business you can run depends on your citizenship and residence status. Any foreigner, regardless of residence status, can establish a capital company (sp. z o.o., simple joint-stock company, or joint-stock company). Running a sole proprietorship, general partnership, or professional partnership is more restricted.

Sp. z o.o. (spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) is Poland's limited liability company -- the most common structure for small and medium businesses. It has its own legal personality, and the owners' (shareholders') liability is generally limited to their capital contribution.

5,000 PLN is the statutory minimum share capital for a sp. z o.o., and the nominal value of a single share cannot be lower than 50 PLN.

Yes -- a Polish company needs a registered office address (siedziba) in Poland. This is the company's official address, not necessarily your personal residence, and it's used for official correspondence and registration.

It depends on the registration channel. To register electronically (via biznes.gov.pl or the S24 system) and sign the application yourself, you need a PESEL number and a Trusted Profile (Profil Zaufany) to sign electronically. Without a PESEL, a sole proprietorship can still be registered in person at a municipal office by presenting your passport, but electronic self-registration isn't possible.

KRS (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy, the National Court Register) is the official register that companies, partnerships, and other organized entities must be entered into. A sp. z o.o. legally comes into existence upon KRS registration -- before that, it exists only as a "company in organization."

NIP (Numer Identyfikacji Podatkowej) is a company's Tax Identification Number in Poland. For a capital company, it's issued automatically -- usually within 1-3 business days -- once the company is entered into KRS, alongside its REGON statistical number. You don't file a separate application for either.

No. Registering a company in KRS, or simply holding shares in a sp. z o.o., does not automatically grant you the right to reside, work, or personally run day-to-day operations in Poland.
