Your First Business: Everything You Need to Know to Start a Sole Proprietorship
Starting a sole proprietorship (Jednoosobowa Działalność Gospodarcza - JDG) is the easiest and most common way to launch a business in Poland. It offers a straightforward registration process, flexibility in managing your business, and an excellent opportunity to test your business idea with minimal formalities.
During this free online workshop, you will learn how to set up and run a sole proprietorship, what legal and tax obligations you need to meet, and what advantages this business structure offers. We will also explain the concept of non-registered business activity, which allows individuals to legally sell products or provide services without registering a business under certain conditions—an ideal way to validate a business idea before making a full commitment. Additionally, we will also discuss what types of documents are required from foreigners to legally start a business activity in Poland.
