AI-drafted, editorially reviewed. Confirm specifics with the official authority.
A limited liability company is the usual vehicle and is entered in the National Court Register, either before a notary or online through the S24 system, which is quicker but locks you into a model set of articles. A sole trader registers in the separate business activity register instead. The step that decides how smooth the process is comes first and is not legal at all: filing requires a qualified electronic signature or the national trusted profile, and obtaining those depends on having a Polish identification number.
- S24 online formation is faster but restricts you to model articles of association.
- Sole traders use a separate register from companies.
- Electronic identity credentials come before the filings, not after them.
