What type of activity to choose?
This is a very important question, especially if you want to avoid additional tax costs that may result from an incorrect choice of business form. The appropriate choice of the form of business is crucial and depends on many factors, such as the planned size of the company, the number of partners and the acceptable level of risk.
In Poland, enterprises can be divided into two main categories: individual enterprises and legal entities. The decision between a sole proprietorship and a company, such as a limited liability company, should take these factors into account. Each form has its own specific registration requirements and tax and legal implications that are worth considering before making a final decision.
With our help, you can register two main types of business activities:
Sole proprietorship (J.d.g.) – this form of business does not create a legal entity. The entrepreneur acts on his own behalf and is personally responsible for all liabilities and debts of his company. This is an ideal solution for small ventures that do not generate high financial risk and do not involve high operating costs.
Limited liability company (Sp. z o. o.) is the most frequently chosen type of company in Poland. The founders of such a company are not personally liable for its debts; their liability is limited to the amount of contributions made.
Why Sp. z o. o. is so popular? One of the main reasons is the limited financial responsibility of owners. This makes it attractive to entrepreneurs who want to minimize their personal financial risk. Sp. z o. o. it also offers management flexibility and can attract investment, making it a preferred choice for larger ventures.
Other legal forms, such as a joint-stock company, general partnership, limited partnership, partnership or civil partnership, have their specific features and may be better depending on the specific nature of the business, the size of the enterprise and the risk appetite of the owners.

Here are some common mistakes that may occur when registering a company in Poland and their consequences:
At the very beginning, it should be noted that an incorrect choice of the legal form of an enterprise may result in high tax rates and additional legal and financial obligations or restrictions on running a business.
Additionally, incorrect determination of the target capital may delay the company registration process or result in a lack of funds to start the business.
Additionally, incorrect definition of the company’s goals and scope of activity may lead to difficulties in obtaining licenses and permits for specific activities.
In addition, incorrect information regarding the company owner may result in delays in the registration process and may lead to refusal of registration by the relevant authorities.
Additionally, submitting incomplete or insufficient documents may lead to delays in the company registration process.
Additionally, neglecting to pay taxes and fees may result in the imposition of a fine, penalty interest, or even the liquidation of the company.
Finally, incorrect selection of the PKD code may result in:
Penalties and sanctions: Selecting an inappropriate activity code may expose you to fines and sanctions from the competent authorities.
Problems with tax reporting: An incorrectly selected activity code may lead to errors in tax reporting, which in turn may generate problems during audits and require additional costs to correct these errors.
Business Restrictions: Choosing an incorrect business code may limit your ability to engage in certain activities and make it more difficult to obtain licenses and permits for specific operations.
Waste of time and resources: The need to change the activity code may consume additional time and resources, as well as generate additional costs related to legal and formal support.
