Setting Up or Servicing a Company in Poland by an Irish Entity

Setting up or servicing a company in Poland by an Irish entity requires not only business decisions but also formal ones. The appropriate form of activity, representation, liability and relationship with the Irish group structure must be considered.

A limited liability company is often considered, but it is not always the only possible solution. Depending on the planned activity, taxes, licences, employment, financing and future exit from the investment may matter.

Before registration, the articles of association, shareholder details, management board details, address, business activity and information required for registry filings should be prepared. If the shareholder is an Irish company, corporate documents from Ireland may be needed.

Legal support for Irish companies in Poland often includes explaining representation rules. Management board member, attorney, commercial proxy and shareholder are different roles. Wrong assumptions about signatures may create problems with contracts, banks or the register.

After registration, ongoing obligations begin. The company may need resolutions, amendments in the National Court Register, updates to beneficial owner data, contract support, employment documents and assistance in disputes with contractors.

Legal support for Irish companies in Poland is especially important where the Polish company operates as part of a larger group. Intra-group agreements, financing, licences, management services and data flows should be described consistently.

An Irish company doing business in Poland should also consider practical communication issues. Registry documents, correspondence with authorities and local deadlines require ongoing monitoring even if business decisions are made in Ireland.
