What is Sp. z o.o.?

Limited liability company

Sp. Z o. o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) or (limited liability company) is one of the most frequently used forms of doing business in Poland, both among Poles and among foreign citizens. As a rule, persons planning to start their own business consider the choice between an individual entrepreneur and a company with z o.o.

The founders of the aforementioned form of ownership can be either one or several individuals and / or legal entities.

The big advantage associated with running a limited liability company is the limited liability of partners for the company's debts - up to the amount of contributions.

ATTENTION! To create a limited liability company, you must have a capital of at least PLN 5,000
