How we help you open a company in Poland
One partner for all questions
A Polish setup is well-tooled, but choosing the right tax track (standard / 9% / Estonian CIT) and aligning R&D and IP Box require careful upfront planning.
Futura Digital manages the entire journey — from initial structuring to a fully operational company with bank accounts and a resident team.
- Incorporation: Sp. z o.o. registration via notary or online (S24), KRS entry and tax registration.
- Tax setup: CIT track (19% / 9% / Estonian CIT), VAT and PIT-payer registration; R&D / IP Box planning.
- Residency: EU Blue Card or temporary residence permit for founders and key staff.
- Banking: corporate account with a Polish bank, EU-grade KYC and beneficial-owner register entry.
- Ongoing: monthly VAT and JPK filings, payroll, annual CIT and financial statements.
