Registering a Business in Poland Remotely – Online Company Formation Guide

Reading time: 10 minutes
Thanks to digitalization and flexible legal frameworks, setting up a business in Poland remotely is fully possible. Whether you're abroad or simply prefer to avoid travel, remote company formation in Poland is now common and legally recognized. In this article, we walk you through the process of registering a business in Poland online, including required documents, authorization steps, and how Residence Angels can assist every step of the way.

Can You Register a Business in Poland Without Being in Poland?

Yes. Non-residents and foreigners without a PESEL number can still register a business in Poland remotely. The most popular and accessible legal form is a limited liability company (Sp. z o.o.). The entire formation process can be handled through:
  • ePUAP trusted profile (if available)
  • Notarized power of attorney for full legal representation
  • Electronic signature or online notary protocol
At Residence Angels, we help clients from over 30 countries open Polish companies remotely — with no need to visit Poland.

Main Steps to Register a Company Remotely

  1. Choose a company structure: For most, Sp. z o.o. is the go-to form
  2. Provide passport and basic info: Shareholder and board member details
  3. Prepare and notarize a Power of Attorney: This document allows us to represent you fully
  4. Sign Articles of Association: Either via Polish notary or remotely with our support
  5. Submit to KRS: Company is entered into the National Court Register
  6. Receive NIP, REGON, and KRS IDs: These are assigned automatically
  7. Open a bank account: Can be done online or via scheduled appointment

Required Documents for Remote Company Formation

  • Valid passport copy
  • Signed and notarized power of attorney
  • Optional: PESEL if already available (not required)
  • Company name, registered address, and scope of activities (we help define PKD codes)
Residence Angels provides a legal company address and virtual office in Warsaw, along with Polish-language representation and legal support for the KRS submission.

How Long Does It Take to Register a Business in Poland Remotely?

  • With Power of Attorney: 14–60 business days
  • Via online ePUAP system: 3–7 business days (requires PESEL or digital profile)
We handle the queue, documents, and communication with the court to ensure smooth processing.

Tax Office Registration (NIP) and Bank Account

Once the company is registered, the Tax Office automatically assigns a NIP (Tax ID). REGON (Statistical ID) is also issued. Then we help you:
  • Schedule a bank account appointment (or open online where possible)
  • Register for VAT if required
  • Register company as a payer for ZUS (Social Security), if employing workers
