What Are the Reasons for Purchasing a Ready-made Company in Poland?
For some investors and entrepreneurs who are planning to start a business in Poland, the best solution would be to purchase a ready-made company rather than incorporate a new one. This may be due not only to considerations of saving costs on the first steps and shorter time frames for starting commercial activities.
A ready-made company, selected according to your criteria by our team of business purchase and sale experts of Niedziolka & Associates, will give you the opportunity to enjoy the following advantages:
- take part in contract tenders;
- take part in public procurement;
- apply for corporate loans;
- apply for government funding.
Moreover, a popular solution for investors is to purchase a ready-made company with a licence. Since the licensing process is quite labor-intensive and lengthy (depending on the type of licence), purchasing an already registered company with the necessary licence will significantly speed up your investment project in Poland.
