The Serbian restaurant in Warsaw appears to have gone bankrupt.

Cevapcici is delicious !


Official informations about migrating and conducting business in Poland. Read the Polish Law section.

Serbian food would go down quite well in Kraków. I saw a few things in Belgrade that I can imagine Poles liking. Go for it! Delphiandomine is the poster here that knows the most about set-up procedures.

Djuric is my boyfriend and i am halfpolish and halfserbian myself ! And i think that serbian food and culture is much more intresting and varied. Polacy otwieraj serce wasze dla serbów! Oni mają świetną kuchnie i potrzebuje polska trochę przyprawów ! All you really need to do is to try out some new and begin from somewhere! The only thing we want is some help , where to start and how ! I would be very happy =) !

ultimate food. Definitely

but, don`t forget pljeskavica, gibanica and ajvar.


always pessimist.... c, c, c

I'd like sth like that here too but Gliwice is just too small. Kraków is a good bet :) I have to ask my wife what we ate in Serbia. Just pastries, I think, but tasty :)

Djuriic, have you started considering exact location in Cracow?

I don't know if this topic is still actual but i will make my opinion and advice any way.

Cracow is good for such restaurant because there are lot of tourists and they always looking for something unusual. Everything what is exotic have better chance to work correctly.

Now some information what to do.

1. Because you are non EU citizen you should have stay and job permission
2. In the same time you may start preparing documentation to register firm in court (because you are non EU citizen you will have to open ltd company and thats why registration is in court). Registration cost something about 1700 zł plus minimum 5000 zł for capital of your firm (shares worth 5000 zł - 50 zł each)

3. After this look for a place where you can open restaurants.
4. Before you sign any rent contract it's good to check if this place have all requirements needed to run restaurants. (check by architect and someone from sanepid). One of problem is space between floor and ceiling. It must be minimum 3 meters.

5. When everything is OK you may start your business.
6. Find good accounting office which can handle with foreigners firm. (I always recommend office which is located on Felicjanek street 10/8 "Centrum Obsługi Biznesu" because they have big experience with foreigners - www/dot/fkcob/dot/pl)

With getting loan from Polish banks will be a problem because they don't like to give money to the foreigners but being ltd is easier.

I hope I help a little bit.

That is very simply not true.

I love Ajwar :)

Balkan restaurants are good. I wish they had one here in Dubs, I would visit it loads of times. But over here they only know Italian, Indian, Chinese/Thai and Chippers, unfortunately. Even in the village where I was born in, a very small village, we had a Balkan restaurant. I still talk to the guys that owned it every now and then.

Great food. I really mean that.

>^..^<

M-G (yay!)

Why do you think it's not true?
As I know non EU citizens can't open one person firm except foreigners from few countries like for example USA. When some one is from South Korea (it's only example) must open ltd company.

I do not think it is not true: I know it is not true. Polish law states that foreign nationals have the same right to open one-person companies in Poland as Poles have in the country of that foreign national. Which explains why Americans and Australians can set up one-person companies here but Canadians can not.

What is needed to start a company?

I assume you need a NIP and PESEL.

great, I would like to try your food.

i love food influenced by the Mediterraneans...it's so tasty...!
i love dolma and ratluk...
:D

Harry,

The Canadians can set up a one-person company (Ltd) in Poland.

You need to be a bit clearer.

There's no such thing as a "one-person company". Do you mean registering dzialanosc gospodarcze (self-employment), or setting up a limited company (spolka z o.o.), which as its name suggests, is a spolka, not one-person?

Limited company (spolka z o.o.) can be a one person firm but it is still spolka z o.o.

I was talking about that when I said 'one-person company'. My understanding is that dzialanosc gospodarcze is not quite the same as being self-employed.

I mean sp. z o.o. (sole shareholder company).
