Opening a branch of a Ukrainian company in Poland: legal aspects
Introduction
With the development of business, Ukrainian companies increasingly pay attention to foreign markets. One of the most popular destinations for expansion is Poland. This is due to a convenient geographical location, a favorable investment climate and membership in the EU:
1. Economic integration: Many Ukrainian companies seek to expand their business to the EU market, and Poland is often the first step in this direction. For example, the Ukrainian IT company TechSolutions was able to increase its revenue by 40% in the first year after opening a branch in Warsaw.
2. Legal stability: Polish legislation, harmonized with EU regulations, provides more legal guarantees for business. This is especially important for Ukrainian entrepreneurs who are faced with the instability of the legal field in Ukraine. Thus, the furniture manufacturer "UkrMebli" was able to attract foreign investments after registering a branch in Krakow, which was difficult to do in Ukraine.
3. Access to financing: Polish banks and investment funds are often more willing to cooperate with companies registered in the EU. For example, the startup "EkoPak" received a grant for the development of ecological packaging from a Polish foundation after opening a branch in Gdańsk.
4. Simplification of logistics: Having a branch in Poland allows optimizing logistics processes for companies working with the EU. Thus, the clothing manufacturer "Moda UA" was able to reduce the delivery time of its products to European customers by 30% after opening a warehouse and office in Łódź.
5. Protection of intellectual property: Registering trademarks and patents through a Polish branch can provide better protection in the EU. Pharmaceutical company "UkrPharm" was able to successfully protect its developments from copying by competitors thanks to the registration of patents through the branch in Poznań.
6. Labor migration: The opening of a branch allows Ukrainian specialists to be legally employed in Poland, which is especially relevant in conditions of high labor migration. The Kodex IT company was able to retain key developers by offering them work in its Warsaw branch.
7. Tax planning: A properly structured branch office in Poland can optimize the tax burden on the business. For example, the logistics company "UkrTrans" was able to reduce its tax expenses by 15% after opening a branch in Rzeszów.
These examples demonstrate how solving the legal aspects of opening a branch in Poland helps Ukrainian companies to solve specific business tasks and expand their opportunities on the international market.
