Why do Poland company formation agency prices vary so much?

Because most published prices exclude the non-resident essentials. A headline of about €1,050 often becomes €2,000 or more once you add PESEL/ePUAP, e-signature, bank opening, VAT registration and CRBR. Compare the all-in figure with every non-resident step included.

Poland company formation pricing.

Q: What is the cheapest way to register a company in Poland?

The cheapest route is the government S24 portal, where the only unavoidable cost is about PLN 274–291 (KRS PLN 250 + PCC about PLN 24 + PLN 17 stamp duty if a power of attorney is used). The portal is Polish-only with no help for the e-signature, CRBR filing or bank account. A budget agency starts around €198 for the service on top of the government fee.

Q: What are the ongoing costs after registration?

Roughly €300 per year for a registered address, PLN 500–1,500 per month for mandatory accounting, and 9% or 19% corporate income tax on profit. A sole shareholder also pays personal ZUS (about PLN 1,927 per month), often avoided by adding a second shareholder.

Poland company formation pricing FAQs

What is the cheapest way to register a company in Poland?

The cheapest route is doing it yourself on the government S24 portal, where the only unavoidable cost is about PLN 274–291 (KRS PLN 250 + PCC ≈ PLN 24 + PLN 17 stamp duty if a power of attorney is used). But the S24 portal is in Polish and you get no help with the e-signature, CRBR filing or bank account — the steps that actually block non-residents. A budget agency starts around €198 for the service on top of the government fee.

Is the PLN 5,000 share capital a fee?

No. The PLN 5,000 minimum share capital is your company’s own money — it goes into the company bank account and can be spent on the business. Only a one-off 0.5% PCC tax (about PLN 24) is charged on it.

Why do agency prices vary so much?

Because most published prices exclude the non-resident essentials. A “€1,050” headline often becomes €2,000+ once you add PESEL/ePUAP, e-signature, bank opening, VAT registration and CRBR. Compare the all-in figure with every non-resident step included, not the headline.

What does your €1,490 Complete package include?

S24 company registration in the KRS, NIP and REGON, PKD code selection, CRBR filing, e-signature set-up for board members, a registered address for one year, bank account onboarding support, VAT registration if needed, and accounting onboarding — with only the PLN 250 government court fee on top.

What are the ongoing costs after registration?

Budget roughly €300/year for a registered address, PLN 500–1,500/month for mandatory accounting, and 9% or 19% corporate income tax on profit. A sole shareholder also pays personal ZUS (≈ PLN 1,927/month) — often avoided by adding a second shareholder.
