How to Register a Company in Poland as a Canadian Entrepreneur
Mehtap Aktepe
Canadian companies looking to sell into the EU, hire European talent, or hold EU-based inventory often choose Poland for the same reasons US founders do: English-friendly professional services, competitive costs, and a straightforward incorporation process.
Structure Choice
A wholly-owned sp. z o.o. subsidiary of the Canadian parent company is the standard approach, offering limited liability and a clean, recognizable structure for EU clients, banks, and tax authorities.
Remote Setup
As with US founders, Canadian entrepreneurs can complete the entire process remotely via power of attorney, provided parent-company documents are properly apostilled and translated where required.
Tax Treaty Protection
Canada and Poland have a double taxation treaty that reduces withholding tax on dividends, interest, and royalties flowing between the two entities — a meaningful advantage over jurisdictions without treaty coverage.
Common Use Cases
IT services companies, e-commerce brands, and logistics/distribution businesses are the most common Canadian entrants, typically drawn by EU market access and Poland's role as a central European fulfilment hub.
