Polish Business Pitfalls: Ukrainian Entrepreneur's Cautionary Tale

A Ukrainian entrepreneur, let's call him Oleh, recently shared his experience of starting a business in Poland. He emphasized the importance of having two business partners when registering a company to avoid future tax and ZUS complications. "I didn't know that you need two partners to avoid being treated as a sole proprietor," Oleh stated. Eight years later, he received a demand for back taxes. He managed to negotiate a payment plan without penalties. His story serves as a cautionary tale for other entrepreneurs.
