Knowledge you can use
in your company.
Short guides and explanations of topics boards and partners ask about most often — at launch and during the year.
- Guide Is a Polish limited liability company (sp. z o.o.) right for a foreign entrepreneur? A Polish spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością — usually shortened to sp. z o.o. — is often the most practical company form for a foreign founder who wants a separate legal entity, limited shareholder liability and a structure that can grow. It is not automatically the cheapest or simplest option, so the right answer depends on risk, ownership, immigration status, taxes and the way you plan to take money out of the business.
- Guide Should a foreign company open a branch in Poland? A branch of a foreign company in Poland — legally an oddział przedsiębiorcy zagranicznego — can let an established business operate locally without creating a new legal person. It preserves one corporate identity, but it also leaves the foreign parent directly responsible and introduces Polish registration, accounting, tax and employment duties.
- Guide When is a representative office in Poland the right choice? A representative office of a foreign company in Poland — formally a przedstawicielstwo przedsiębiorcy zagranicznego — is designed for advertising and promotion. It can support visibility and relationships before commercial launch, but it cannot sell, invoice customers or deliver the parent’s services in Poland.
- Guide PIT-11, PIT-37 and IFT-1R: what employers and employees need to know PIT-11, PIT-37 and IFT-1R belong to the same annual tax workflow, but they are not interchangeable. The employer or another payer prepares PIT-11 or, for certain non-resident payments, IFT-1R. The individual files PIT-37 only when that return matches their situation.
- Guide A1 certificate from ZUS: when a company needs it and how to apply An A1 certificate from ZUS shows which country’s social-security legislation applies when an employee or self-employed person works across borders. It matters for postings, regular work in several states and some cross-border telework arrangements. The correct route depends on the facts — not on the traveller’s nationality or the label ‘business trip’ alone.
