A limited liability company “in organization” is simply the first stage in the life of a new company—the period between signing its articles of association and its official entry in the National Court Register (KRS). From the moment the articles are signed, such a company can already operate in the market: sign contracts, purchase goods, incur obligations, or participate in commercial dealings. Once it is registered in the KRS, all its rights and obligations are “automatically” transferred to the registered limited liability company. Until this registration occurs, the company’s name must always include the phrase “in organization.”
