Law / I need to write a Business Plan to set up business in Poland [19]

I am an English man who has been living in Poland for over 3 years and would like to set up my own business. The bank has told me that I need to write a business plan. I have written one in English but I need to know if it'll be ok to just get this translated or if Polish business plans follow a different format to English ones?

Can someone help me as this is urgent.

THanks

Law / I need to write a Business Plan to set up business in Poland [19]

so are you English or Welsh then? I'd get it translated if i were you, you are in Poland so it would be a nice gesture to make an effort like that.

Try French. Not that it would help much, but if you don't try, you'll never know.

Are you completely thick? Its because of ppl like you that it is impossible to do business in Poland. Firstly i know a business plan has to be in Polish but if you read my post properly, (if you even understand it) i wanted to know if a business plan in Poland has the same FORMAT as in England and would it be acceptable to translate the one I already have. Basically are business plans universal??

Please learn better English before commenting about somethng you clearly didn't understand

Makes you think doesn't it that if you have to come onto a forum to ask such a question, after you have been to the bank to make enquiries. Then maybe you aren't quite ready for the cut and thrust of running your own business.

Ok I dont know how long uve been in Poland justask but you can never get a straight answer here. Its not a question of language, my Polish is fine but its just the fact that I am being told different things all the time by the same bank and to save me all thse journeys and wasted time, I thought id ask here. Why do they have a category for business on this site if questions like this shouldnr be asked here???????

UK, Ireland / Poles singled out as responsible for increase in knife culture [39]

It seems that if a murder happens in the UK the ehole world seems to hear about it, the same as if there is a scandal in UK hospitals or a Priest in the UK who abuse children.

WHy does Euprope delight in mocking the UK when a murder happens or a sick paedophile rapes a child? Like it doesnt happen in other countries. People delight in British scandals but they fail to inform the world of the good things that come from the UK - the centre of world music, the ENglish landuage and the full English breakfast.

Poland before you start criticising British hospitals (which are actually free for you to use - NHS) look at the state of the system in your own country. Do you relly think Polish priests don't abuse children? Do you really think the divorce rate is not high in Poland because ppl have more meaningful relationships? No, Polish people are still scared of the church and will stay together, even if they hate each other. I just look at the example of my mother and father in-law, who cant stand the sight of each other. I know many other couples like this.

Poland and Polish people need to start reading up about mafia killings in their own countries. In Warsaw stadium you can even but ral UZI's and shotguns without a licence.

THINK ABOUT IT!!!!

Life / Polish Youth - are they violent? [71]

Arrogance breeds arrogance and there is alot of it in this country. Masks is correct when he says that the youth in this country walk round like they own the place. I come from the Welsh valleys and have seen some S*** there but never experienced being jumped cos I come from the same island as Howard Webb. I ended up in hospital and just got out this morning. they gys who attacked me couldnt have been more then 16 and 7 of thm had me at once. Where is the bravery in that???

yep, they said that Webb cause a Polish humiliation and that I should be punished for what my country did.

This is typical of people here, always looking for a scapegoat for the country's problems. I even heard an interview with the Polish prime minister a few days ago condemning Webb. Maybe they ought to look at Lewandowski and his yellow card that he also mananged to obtain today.

Life / Polish Youth - are they violent? [71]

I wish I could post an email on here that I recieved yesterday showing Webb deat threats. If the adults of this country act like this how can we expect the youth to act any better.

The Police wer not at all interested and told me its better if I kept quiet. There is gonna be a major football tournament here in 2012 and so ppl her need to change their attitudes cos otherwise there will be loads of trouble and the Poles will then realise theyve bitten off more than they can chew.

Not surprising though,take a look on here ,some of the most chauvanistic,nationalistic crap comes from 3rd generation " Poles" in the UK or USA....
BTW, Welshguy,hard luck mate,hope your feeling better now,but,that sort of sh it happens all the time in the UK too,its not a national thing but a little penised knuckle draggers thing....

Im sorry but I cant agree there. When Beckham had England knocked out of the World cup for the kicking incident, english ppl didnt make it an excuse to go and beat the c*** out of the ref, they realised it was Beckham's fault. Whay can't the Poles look at Lewandowski - cos hes one of their own and they cant accept that it was a single act of his that guaranteed Poland's return home.

UK, Ireland / 800K of Polish immigrants in UK don't pay taxes -what do the poles think [190]

In some ways I feel noimmi is right although he could state his opinions in a different way. I have lived in Poland for 5 years and to get anything out of the system here is a nightmare, I have my own business for which I pay ZUS (Polish national insurance) and taxes but really havent seen any benefits for myself of it.

Noimmi fails too state thats its not just the poles coming to the UK who have the easy ride but also the Bulgarians, Romanians, Slovakians etc. I'm sure if he mentioned these, people would be more accepting of his viewpoints. Its true that these people can get anything they want out of the system and often have more rights than British people. I mean have you ever heard of a country where they hire interpreters in school for immigrant children? Poland certainly wouldn't do that. It is concessions like this that make people like noimmi hostile.

HE shouldnt blame the Poles the Bulgarians etc for what our government grants to immigrants, they are only taking advantage of something that will help them better themselves.

That i cant argue with and I, for one, am proud of the empire. The Raj turend India into a civilised country, to name but 1.

I just dream of the day when Britain is famous again because of the great country it is not because its the country where you can go and get all that free stuff.

Life / Present for Polish friends ~ is anything hard to get any more? [57]

There is tescos here but the service leaves alot to be desired. I think they might be franchises cos the normal tescos rules dont apply (eg the 'one in front') policy. You also cant use clubcard here. Bring some marmite!!!

UK, Ireland / The Daily snot rag (Mail) removes anti-Polish content [30]

Tell me, whats the difference in the Poles recieving bad press and all the other immigrants recieving it? Poles expect to be treated with a pinch of salt (due, in part, to all those years of presecution) but its time to stop P**** footing around them and for them to start viewing themselves as an integral prt of Britain , not as this persecuted community who have to be defended by a federation.

Love / This is probably going to be silly but.. I really want a Polish boyfriend [44]

I lived on the east coast of America for over a year and noticed that noone ever calls themself american - they are either Irish, Italian or some other nationality besides American. I wish the 3rd and 4th generations would wake up and realise that they are actually Americans.

UK, Ireland / What is in Poland that England doesn't have? [142]

- skiing
- halfway decent border controls
- reliable trains

the skiing part i can agree with but are polish public transport services really reliable??? I've often found myself waiting for a bus in Pol that never shows and if it does it is packed full of sweaty ppl.

I lived in London for a year and the public transport systems are second to none.

Szarlotka, where in UK are you from? If from the middle of nowhere then you can expect to thave a ****** transport service. Have you ever tried to catch the bus in Poland 'na wsi'?

UK, Ireland / What is in Poland that England doesn't have? [142]

What do we have in Poland that's not in England?
1) free higher education
2) real winter (you know, with snow, ice and frost)
3) forests - an English forest looks like a Polish park
4) good bread in every shop
5) żubrówka

Enlighten me. Since when have we had to pay for higher ed in the UK? As far as I can remember mine was completely free. Only the richer students have to pay for it..... and so they should.

One thing we have in Wales which isn't in Poland nor indeed the rest of the UK, are free prescriptions for all regardless of age.

Also, the snowy winters in Poland sre slowly disappearing. For two years there has not been substantial snowfall.

UK, Ireland / What is in Poland that England doesn't have? [142]

Some new sort of tuition fee has come in over the last couple of years where it is paid directly out of student loans, I think. Notice that a student loan is a kind of loan, so eventually it does have to be paid back. I don't suppose it's enough to live off either.

Of course mr donkey ur correct, not many students these days can afford to live without taking out a student loan, but it is the same in Poland. My brother has just started Uni and because my parents are earning under a certain wage limit, they didnt have to pay anything. Don't quote me on this but I think the limit is around 20,000 per annum. Tuition fees are means tessted and if parents are rich why shouldnt they pay? Also in Wales now we have something called an assembly learning grant which basically means help for students to the sum of around 1800 GBP a year. Dunno if this is just Wales or whether eng ppl can get it too.

Unless you go to a private clinic, prescriptions are free in Poland and in the rest of the UK.

I dunno if uve ever been to UK z_dariusz but since I have lived there for over 26 yrs of my life I think I am more qualified to comment about the prescription situation in my country. A year ago there was a big contraversy in wales as people living close to the Wales/England border were getting their prescriptions then popping over to wales to take them to chemists. At the moment, and other PF members will testify, precsriptions are certainly not free in Eng and prob not in Scot. At the mo wales is the only country in UK with free prescriptions as we have our own government independent of Westminister and they passed this bill.

As for Poland, since when have they given free prescriptions? I have used the health service quite often and have ALWAYS had to pay, allbeit cheaper than if I hadn't paid zus. This is whay we see the poor people begging for money for medicene etc

News / Poles Ranks First in Computer Coding [47]

I have no idea how good the Poles are at bridge but I know they suck at poker. I have a monthky poker night and we (ex pats) end up cleaning them out. They play their own version of poker, I dont know where it comes from but it sucks.

News / Poles Ranks First in Computer Coding [47]

I am not arguing about Poland having some of the best coders in the world, but can someone tell me why recently (since WW2) nothing highly advanced has come out of Poland? There was a game called the witcher but it hardly showed off the skills of these top class coders. Is it because of language problems?
