Liquidating a company or branch and closing down business activity

Both starting and ending business activity in Poland require completing numerous formalities. To facilitate this process, our team of lawyers offers comprehensive legal services, advising clients on necessary legal issues and guiding them through all stages of liquidation of a company or branch.

Responding to the needs of entrepreneurs planning to close their business, we prepare documents necessary to open the liquidation of a company or a branch of a foreign company in Poland, arrange all formalities (e.g., organizing a meeting with a notary to open the liquidation of the company and taking part in it on behalf of the client) and conduct proceedings for deletion of the company or branch of a foreign company in Poland from the National Court Register.

Thanks to the involvement of RSM Poland's Corporate Advisory Department, clients can complete most of the remaining formalities remotely, as a result of which the termination of business activity is most often possible without the client's arrival in Poland.
