Law / How to register a new business in Poland [129]

Merged:Running your own business in Poland

Question: Did any of you open up your own business in Poland? Krakow specifically?
What's the "procedure"?
Is it a real pain? meaning a lot of paper work?
In the States it's relatively easy - you can open your own business while sitting in front of your laptop.
Please let me know how long does it take, how many places do you need to visit, how many long lines do you need to stand in.

I'm sure it's worth it, but if it is a major hassle I'd rather know now.

Let me add that I'm an American with a dual citizenship so I do not need work permits etc.

Thanks!
