My name is Svetlana Kazantseva, a lawyer from Warsaw. The key areas of law I work in are legalization and citizenship. My out-of-the-box thinking, speed of making the right decisions, and experience set me apart from other professionals.
Company registration in Poland: successful start of a car import business
The Client, a citizen of Ukraine, contacted me to set up a company in Poland to import and export cars. As he had no experience of doing business in the European Union, he needed qualified legal support to launch the company efficiently and smoothly. The main task was to ensure fast, legal registration of the company and obtaining all necessary numbers and licenses for international trade.
After a detailed consultation with the client, we determined that the best option for him was the Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością (Sp. z o.o.), which is the most popular form of legal entity among foreign entrepreneurs in Poland. This will allow him to provide reliable legal protection and legalize his activities within the EU.
Preparation and submission of documents
After we determined the type of company, we drafted and agreed with the client on the company's charter, and then submitted all the necessary documents to the National Court Register (KRS). Thanks to our professional approach, the company registration was completed in just 2 days.
Registration with the tax authorities
After successful registration with the KRS, we submitted documents to the tax authorities to obtain the following numbers:
- NIP (Podatkowy Numer Identyfikacyjny): tax identification number
- REGON (Rejestr Gospodarki Narodowej): statistical number of the company
- VAT (Podatek od Towarów i Usług): VAT number for conducting commercial activities
We also ensured that the company was included in the register of beneficiaries (CRBR), which is a mandatory step for legal entities in Poland.
Registration with the tax authorities
Since the client planned to import and export cars, it was important to obtain an EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number, which is required for international trade within the EU. We promptly applied for it and ensured that it was obtained without delay.
Business launch and first successes
Thanks to our well-coordinated work and professional approach to each stage, the client received a fully legalized company in Poland in just 2 days. Now he can freely import and export cars without any legal problems.
Results.
- Successful registration: Sp. z o.o. was registered in just 2 days
- Tax numbers: NIP, REGON, VAT received
- Registration of beneficiaries: the company was entered in the CRBR register
- EORI: received a number for international trade
