Below is a step-by-step guide on how to do it: <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"306\" data-end=\"349\">1. Preparation of necessary information<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"351\" data-end=\"406\">Before registering, it is worth preparing:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"408\" data-end=\"913\">\n<li data-start=\"408\" data-end=\"470\"><strong data-start=\"410\" data-end=\"427\">Personal data:<\/strong> name, surname, PESEL number, address of residence.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"471\" data-end=\"635\"><strong data-start=\"473\" data-end=\"499\">Planned company name:<\/strong> in the case of a sole proprietorship, the name should include your first and last name, e.g. &#8220;Jan Kowalski Us\u0142ugi Budowlane&#8221;. <\/li>\n<li data-start=\"636\" data-end=\"781\"><strong data-start=\"638\" data-end=\"651\">PKD codes:<\/strong> specifying the type of business you intend to conduct. Select the appropriate codes from the Polish Classification of Activities (PKD). <\/li>\n<li data-start=\"782\" data-end=\"913\"><strong data-start=\"784\" data-end=\"808\">Form of taxation:<\/strong> consider which form will be most advantageous for you (general rules, flat tax, lump sum).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"954\">2. Registration of business in CEIDG<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"956\" data-end=\"1000\">There are several ways to register:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1355\">\n<li data-start=\"1002\" data-end=\"1176\"><strong data-start=\"1004\" data-end=\"1015\">Online:<\/strong> The most convenient method, requiring a trusted profile or qualified electronic signature. Go to the CEIDG website and fill out the CEIDG-1 form. <\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1177\" data-end=\"1259\"><strong data-start=\"1179\" data-end=\"1210\">In person at the commune office:<\/strong> Complete the CEIDG-1 form and submit it to the office.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1260\" data-end=\"1355\"><strong data-start=\"1262\" data-end=\"1276\">By post:<\/strong> Send the completed and signed CEIDG-1 form to the appropriate commune office.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1357\" data-end=\"1381\">3. Reporting to ZUS<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1383\" data-end=\"1586\">The CEIDG-1 application also serves as a notification to the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS). In the form, indicate the appropriate insurance title and choose the preferred insurance (social, health). <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1588\" data-end=\"1620\">4. Choosing the form of taxation<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1622\" data-end=\"1670\">In the CEIDG-1 form, specify the form of taxation:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1857\">\n<li data-start=\"1672\" data-end=\"1729\"><strong data-start=\"1674\" data-end=\"1692\">General rules:<\/strong> 12% or 32% depending on income.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1730\" data-end=\"1770\"><strong data-start=\"1732\" data-end=\"1752\">Flat tax:<\/strong> fixed rate of 19%.<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1771\" data-end=\"1857\"><strong data-start=\"1773\" data-end=\"1817\">Lump sum tax on recorded revenues:<\/strong> rates depending on the type of activity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 data-start=\"1859\" data-end=\"1895\">5. VAT registration (optional)<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"2059\">If you plan to be a VAT payer, submit the VAT-R form to the tax office. You can do this in person or electronically when registering your company in CEIDG. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2061\" data-end=\"2106\">6. Setting up a business bank account<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2108\" data-end=\"2220\">Although it is not mandatory, having a separate bank account for your business makes it easier to manage your finances.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2222\" data-end=\"2252\">7. Bookkeeping<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2254\" data-end=\"2430\">Decide whether you will do your own bookkeeping or outsource it to an accounting firm. Proper bookkeeping is crucial for tax settlements. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2432\" data-end=\"2480\">8. Obtaining necessary permits and licenses<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2482\" data-end=\"2620\">Depending on your type of business, you may need to obtain additional permits or licenses. Check the requirements for your industry. <\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2622\" data-end=\"2668\">9. Registration for social insurance<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2670\" data-end=\"2806\">After registering your business, register for social insurance at ZUS by submitting the appropriate forms (e.g. ZUS ZUA or ZUS ZZA).<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2808\" data-end=\"2840\">10. Starting a business<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2842\" data-end=\"2947\">Once all formalities have been completed, you can officially start your business.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2949\" data-end=\"3236\">Remember that the process of setting up a company in Poland is free of charge, and registration in CEIDG is mandatory for individuals running a sole proprietorship. It is also worth regularly monitoring changes in legal regulations to stay up to date with the obligations of an entrepreneur. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3238\" data-end=\"3323\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Additional information and current forms can be found on the official CEIDG website.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mb-2 flex gap-3 empty:hidden -ml-2\">\n<div class=\"items-center justify-start rounded-xl p-1 flex\">\n<div class=\"flex items-center\"><button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Kopiuj\" data-testid=\"copy-turn-action-button\"><\/button>\n<div class=\"flex\"> <\/div>\n<button class=\"rounded-lg text-token-text-secondary hover:bg-token-main-surface-secondary\" aria-label=\"Read aloud\" data-testid=\"voice-play-turn-action-button\"><\/button>\n<div class=\"flex items-center pb-0\"><span class=\"overflow-hidden text-clip whitespace-nowrap text-sm\">o3-mini-high<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Starting a sole proprietorship in Poland in 2025 is quick, free and can be done online using CEIDG.
