International Expansion and Business

Comprehensive Support

Our support goes beyond registering a business abroad. It is about building a secure tax and operational structure that allows you to grow across borders without unexpected challenges. We take care of every detail – from withholding tax to customs support – to make your expansion predictable and financially beneficial.

We provide comprehensive support – coordinating every stage of entering a new market, identifying regulatory and tax risks, and recommending optimal structural solutions. This turns international expansion into a well-considered step towards growth rather than a risky leap into the unknown.

We support companies entering the Polish market and Polish companies operating abroad, with an understanding of the languages and business environments on both sides. We have particular expertise in the German market.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I start if I want to enter a foreign market?

Start with a regulatory and tax analysis – before you choose a legal structure and start incurring costs. We help you assess whether a particular market is accessible and attractive for your business model, what tax and registration requirements you will need to meet, and which market entry structure to choose to ensure it is both secure and efficient.

Do you also support foreign companies entering the Polish market?

Yes – this is one of our key areas of expertise. We guide foreign entities through registration, obtaining identification numbers, ongoing tax and accounting support, and reporting to their headquarters. We provide services in multiple languages and understand the business environment of clients from Germany, France, English-speaking countries and across Europe.

Can you support my company both in Poland and abroad?

Yes – as part of the ETL Global network, with a presence in more than 60 countries, we coordinate multi-jurisdictional support through a single point of contact in Poland. You do not need to find local advisors in each country separately – they are already part of our network, and we manage the entire process.

What are the typical tax risks associated with international expansion that companies are often unaware of?

The most common risks include: unintentionally creating a permanent establishment abroad (which gives rise to tax obligations in that country), incorrect withholding tax treatment of cross-border payments, transfer pricing errors in intra-group transactions, and failure to comply with VAT registration requirements. Each of these risks can be costly – we identify them before you begin operations.
