Law / Questions regarding a proxy viewing files for me in a Polish court [5]

Hi,
what kind of files are they and in which precisely court? Are you the partie in this case? Basically, you can give the POA, but according to the polish civil procedure the POA you can give only your nearest relatives or solicitor/attorney. In effect only they can see the files. Sometimes the court agree to available the case files to the other person but it's exceptions.

If the files are in the KRS - register of enterpreneurs (some like polish companies hous) and concern one of the company the register are public and everyone can see them.

Law / NIP REGON database - business start date is shown - but is that a good idea? [7]

Hi,
you can check your business partners also here: prod.ceidg.gov.pl/CEIDG/ceidg.public.ui/Search.aspx

It is the public base of the individual enterpreneurs/sole traders.

Dear MOD,

Trading as sole trader is the cheapest way and you need only to register your own company in register of entrepreneurs "CEIDG", then you need to fill some papers to US - polish Inland Revenue and ZUS - our Social Insurance Institution, get the bank account and you can run your own company. Registration in CEIDG is free of charge and you can do it with the assist od someone else via internet. Of course if you want to register the company such ltd or partnership then you need to pay some money. In the case of ltd the minimum share capital is 5.000 PLN, and you need to pay additionally for registration in the KRS 500 PLN. To advice you something more I need more information. Please write me on priv or mail me.

Work / Job Relocation to Lodz from Mexico [4]

Hi, It's nice to hear you. I live in Lodz and it's average salary here. Please keep in mind that 6 400 gross, is 4 500 net (that is how much you earn each month, rest of it are the taxes and contributions to national insurance company called ZUS). Most people in PL earn around 5 000 PLN. If you and your wife will work both and earn around 5 000 PLN per month each, it will be quite good for you and you can live on a good level. But if you will be only earn it could be not enough for you both.

I think that Lodz is quite good place to start. The prices here are smaller than in Warsaw (our capital) and you can find apartment in reasonable price. From the other hand if the money want satisfied you, you can looking for a job in Warsaw or some other city in PL. Lodz is also poorer that the Warsaw.

If you have any further question or need any assistance in Lodz you can contact with me at grzegorz@sslg.pl.

For example:
- rent of 2 beds studio in city center (40-60 square meter) cost around 2 000 - 3 000 PLN;

- simple dinner for one person 20-35 PLN;

- medium pizza (40cm) - 20-30 PLN;
- bottle of coke 2 l - 5-6 PLN;
