Company law, company formation, restructuring Supporting Foreign Companies in Setting up Business in Poland Another Success Story - Supporting a UK Automotive Firm

Why does Poland remain an attractive market for entrepreneurs after Brexit?

For many years, we have specialized in comprehensive advisory services for foreign entrepreneurs wishing to start a business in Poland. Thanks to its strategic location within the European Union, access to a qualified workforce, and a stable legal environment, Poland has consistently remained one of the most attractive destinations for foreign investors. Since Brexit, we have observed increased interest from companies based in England, Wales, and Scotland – both large entities and family-owned businesses with long-standing traditions.

The complexity of the process, from initial exploration to company registration

The process of entering the Polish market usually begins with a thorough market analysis and the search for the right location, often within special economic zones or other attractive investment areas. For companies in the manufacturing sector, access to qualified employees and a business-friendly environment are particularly important.

We often encounter situations where entrepreneurs start by opening a Polish commercial office responsible for selling products manufactured in their home country. Over time, as the business grows and the need for cost optimization increases, they decide to move part of their production to Poland.

A success story: British automotive company in Poland

Recently, we had the pleasure of comprehensively supporting a British automotive company that decided to relocate part of its production to Poland. Our support covered the entire process, including registration assistance, tax and accounting issues, as well as formalities related to opening a bank account. We are proud that our expertise and many years of experience allowed the client to feel secure in the new business environment and successfully launch operations on the Polish market.

Support at every stage – our standard of service

We support foreign entrepreneurs throughout the entire investment process – from analyzing initial ideas, through the choice of legal form, to carrying out all necessary organizational and legal steps. We also understand that even seemingly simple technical activities, such as opening a bank account or handling tax matters, can be a real challenge abroad. We know how to explain and lead our clients through these processes so that they feel comfortable and supported at every stage.

Trust and good relations pay off

We thank the entrepreneurs from all over the world who have placed their trust in us – including an ever-growing group from Great Britain. The successes of our clients are our greatest motivation to continually develop our competencies and provide comprehensive business support.

Once again, we have helped a family-run company with traditions begin an exciting new chapter in Poland. We wish them good luck and dynamic growth!
