Polish offices often require original documents for everything. Also, often they want to keep the original documents. As far as I know, there is a lot of paperwork involved. Check for accuracy of your documents. Otherwise, you might have to revisit the same offices...

Our notary and lawyer handled all the formalities - it took ages though. All you need is your passport and capital of 50,000PLN.

till today still not working. this person in office who exactly work there, she doesn't has enough knowledge regardless her position in this office... i read the rule she gave, i made translation.. they are 3 points person who able to run bussiness in Poland 1. regardless EU and Poles(which not me) 2. person who has polish ID and part of Poles family, they will be able to run bussiness(i include here). 3. foreigner(you need to have join adventure, with poles). and on point 3, her (woman who work in this office)understanding that join trade is between my country and Poland or other country EU(but state clear that "join" in this rule, about join bussiness with Poles/ cooperation NOT between country). that what she asked me to get from my embassy, which make my consul laughing... he doesn't need to give anything, or state anything, because if embassy in Poland it mean they have cooperation.... HUge cooperation... JUST STUPID... anyway, you can not argue with somebody here, even they knew they are wrong they will keep saying they are right.... some experiences...

Polish beaurocracy is suspicious. When you come to the office to register a business or dso anything there, they virtually scan you on everything because they don`t trust you. They suspect you are a conman who is trying to take them for a ride, that you will try to shun taxes, hide your profits etc etc.

What a strange law! They have no right to keep original documents! They should just buy a good quality colour copy machine!

Also, often they want to keep the original documents.

Absolutely love this fact! Ugh!

About a month for me, we found an accountant first, through a friend who works at the tax office in Częstochowa. We had a meeting with her, told her what we wanted to do. Came back a couple of days later and she gave us a list of places to visit to make this all happen, its not the easiest thing to do, but most procedures like this in Poland are a little long winded, but I go with it, this is how they do things, its all fine.
