This means that certain conditions must be met and specific permits or licenses must be obtained to engage in these activities. The process of setting up a transportation company in Poland can be divided into two stages: <strong>Stage 1<\/strong> involves company registration, where a legal entity is registered, and <strong>Stage 2<\/strong> involves obtaining a transportation services license. Meanwhile, the company&#8217;s activities can be categorized into:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>A. Operation of International Transport with Own Vehicles<\/strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<p><strong>A domestic transport license<\/strong> is a document that certifies permission to transport both people and goods within the country, specifically in Poland. <strong>An international transport license<\/strong> grants permission to carry out international transport. To obtain an international freight transport license, you need to apply to the main road transport inspection authority in Warsaw. This document is issued for a period of 2-15 years. The process of obtaining these licenses in Poland takes approximately 4-5 weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>B. Freight Forwarding Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<p>To conduct road transport activities related to <strong>freight forwarding (expeditions)<\/strong>, it is necessary to obtain a freight forwarding license. The license is issued for a period of 2 to 50 years, depending on the chosen duration. The license documents are issued by the voivodeship (province) where your company is registered. The process of obtaining a freight forwarding license takes about 2 weeks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>C. International Transport Activities with Own Vehicles + Freight Forwarding Activities<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If there is a need to carry out both transport activities within Europe and freight forwarding, it is necessary to have the two licenses mentioned above. The licenses are obtained separately from two different institutions.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-size: 15pt;\">AssistPRO offers a comprehensive package for establishing a transport company with a community transport license or a forwarding license, which includes:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: square;\">\n<li>Obtaining PESEL, Profil Zaufany, or a qualified electronic signature in Poland<\/li>\n<li>Searching for the company&#8217;s registered address (place of residence)<\/li>\n<li>Preparation of documents and company registration in Poland<\/li>\n<li>Obtaining a certificate of good conduct in Poland &#8211; necessary for obtaining a transport license in Poland<\/li>\n<li>Registration of the established company in the Central Register CRBR and payment of the PCC (0.5%) based on the capital size<\/li>\n<li>Opening a bank account and consultation on capital contribution<\/li>\n<li>Selection of an accounting firm or bookkeeper<\/li>\n<li>Registration of the transport vehicle in Poland or organization of a leasing agreement<\/li>\n<li>Completion and submission of license documents to Poland<\/li>\n<li>Consultation on hiring foreign employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 20px;\">Opportunities for establishing a transport company in Poland:<\/h4>\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; border-color: #d1d1d1; border-style: solid;\" border=\"1px\" cellpadding=\"5px\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; background-color: #f2f3f5;\">\n<h4 class=\"title-row fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 20px;\" data-lineheight=\"25.6px\"><strong>I.<\/strong> Establishing a transport company through a notary<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>+ International transportation license<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; background-color: #f2f3f5;\">\n<h4 class=\"title-row fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 20px;\" data-lineheight=\"25.6px\"><strong>II.<\/strong> Establishing a transport company online<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>+ International transportation license<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; background-color: #f2f3f5;\">\n<h4 class=\"title-row fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 20px;\" data-lineheight=\"25.6px\"><strong>III.<\/strong> Establishing a forwarding company online<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>+ freight forwarding license<\/strong><\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Montserrat, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Company formation through a notary can be done either in person or with a power of attorney.<\/span><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: 10pt; font-family: Montserrat, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;\">Electronically, physical presence in the foreign country is not required.

Modern conditions in Poland allow for remote registration. It is important to include all necessary activity codes (PKD) in the registration documents. Different codes are required for transport licenses and freight forwarding licenses. It is recommended to decide on the type of company activity in the first step.<\/p>\n<p>Step 2 &#8211; <strong>Company Finalization:<\/strong> At this stage, the necessary tasks for completing the company setup are carried out. This includes opening a bank account in Poland, finding an accounting company in Poland, and obtaining a VAT number. Opening a bank account in Poland requires a visit to a branch of a Polish bank. It is advisable to open a bank account in multiple currencies.<\/p>\n<p>Step 3 &#8211; <strong>Freight Forwarding License<\/strong> (if applicable): In the case of a freight forwarding company, the process is relatively straightforward. A freight forwarding license is ordered in the specific city or voivodeship where the company is registered.\u00a0 Now let&#8217;s examine the case of establishing a transport company with obtaining a transport license. To initiate the process of obtaining a transport license, it is necessary to have a registered truck in Poland. This is one of the requirements for obtaining a transport license in Poland. There are two ways to meet this requirement: purchasing a vehicle or leasing one. It is recommended to choose the second option, as the waiting time for a transport license is about 4-5 weeks, and in the case of leasing, your vehicle will avoid downtime.<\/p>\n<p>Step 4 &#8211; <strong>Obtaining a Transport License in Poland:<\/strong> At this stage, two permits must be issued. The first permit grants the right to transport goods within Poland, and the second permit allows for international transport routes. Both documents can be prepared simultaneously. One of the important conditions for obtaining a transport license in Poland is to employ a specialized transport manager with the relevant qualifications in the field of transport services. This qualification is confirmed by a specified form of certification (the certification is valid in both Polish and foreign languages and is issued in EU countries). More requirements for obtaining a transport license can be found in the article &#8220;Obtaining a Transport License in Poland.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Step 5 &#8211; <strong>Employment of Drivers in Poland:<\/strong> If the drivers are not citizens of the European Union, it is recommended to start this stage parallel to the process of obtaining a transport license, as the legalization of foreign nationals can take time. First, foreign nationals need to obtain permits for legal work and residence in Poland. These can be short-term permits for up to 180 days per year or long-term permits for 1-3 years. Additionally, drivers must undergo medical and psychological examinations, without which they cannot work. Drivers must be issued a professional qualification certificate and complete a specialized professional course (Code 95).<\/p>\n<p>Step 6 &#8211; <strong>Commence Transport Operations:<\/strong> It may seem that the company is ready, with licenses, employees, and trucks, but in reality, operating in this business, like any other, requires knowledge and consideration of many details. Mistakes often occur when calculating employee working and rest time, cargo weight restrictions, tax payment procedures, etc. It is also recommended not to overlook insurance. Insurance can compensate for any losses or mistakes you may encounter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Specifics of Issuing International Freight Transport Licenses in Poland:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Required Documents: LR1 document, declaration of the responsible person in transport management (OC), document on the employment of drivers (OK), document on integrity &#8211; confirmation (ON).<\/p>\n<p>Transport Manager&#8217;s Professional Competence Certificate &#8211; a valid Lithuanian certificate, but it is necessary to have such a document translated into Polish. Another option is to employ such a person on a 0.25 full-time equivalent basis. One person can be responsible for a maximum of 30 vehicles, up to 2 companies.<\/p>\n<p>Documents confirming financial status, \u20ac9,000 for the first truck, \u20ac5,000 for subsequent ones &#8211; the only confirmation required is the company&#8217;s balance sheets, and a warranty insurance is done in the first year.<\/p>\n<p>Proof of Operational Base (OB) &#8211; a <strong>necessary yard<\/strong> or <strong>parking space in Poland<\/strong>. We can assist in signing a lease agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Integrity certificate for all shareholders and the transport manager.<\/p>\n<p>List of Vehicles (WPC) &#8211; <strong>a registered truck in Poland<\/strong> is required before obtaining the license. If you don&#8217;t have a truck, we can assist in signing a lease agreement and temporarily renting a truck until your truck is registered.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmation of the fee for engaging in carrier professional activity &#8211; PLN 1,000.<\/p>\n<p>Confirmation of the fee for issuing a Community license:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Up to 5 years: PLN 4,000 + PLN 440 for each truck entry.<\/li>\n<li>Up to 10 years: PLN 8,000 + PLN 880 for each truck entry.<\/li>\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Main Inspectorate of Road Transport (<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.pl\/web\/gitd\">G\u0142\u00f3wny Inspektorat Transportu Drogowego<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p>\n<p>Address: Al.

Every business in Poland has the opportunity to obtain leasing through a simplified process in a very short time. The review of leasing applications takes only a few days.<\/p>\n<p>With leasing, it is possible to acquire 2 or even 3 new trucks without a credit history. For larger leasing financing, documents proving financial results and capacity are required.
