The Registration Process: Step-by-Step

​
Setting up a branch in Poland involves several key steps. Here’s how House of Companies simplifies the process for you:

Step 1: Initial Consultation

We start with a detailed consultation to understand your business needs and objectives. Our experts will guide you on the Polish regulations and requirements for branch registration.

Step 2: Determine the Branch Structure

Choose the most appropriate branch type for your operations based on your business model and goals. We’ll help you make the right choice.

Step 3: Prepare and Translate Documents

Compile essential documents, such as parent company details, legal authorizations, and financial reports. Our team ensures accurate translations certified for Polish authorities.

Step 4: Legalize and Notarize Documents

All documents must be legalized and notarized to comply with Polish legal standards. We manage this process to ensure smooth approval.

Step 5: Submit the Registration Application

We complete the branch registration forms and submit them to the National Court Register (KRS). This includes handling any communication with Polish authorities on your behalf.

Step 6: Tax Registration

Your branch will be registered for a Polish Tax Identification Number (NIP) and VAT, ensuring compliance with tax obligations.

Step 7: Open a Bank Account

We assist you in setting up a corporate bank account to facilitate operations in Poland.

Step 8: Compliance Setup

We ensure your branch meets local labor laws, insurance requirements, and reporting standards. This includes notifying relevant authorities like the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS).

Step 9: Start Operations

Once the branch is registered, your business is ready to operate legally in Poland.
