So you’re in the UK and your company is doing well, but you’re facing one of the biggest
dilemmas on the CEO’s job description: moving your company to Poland. There are many
reasons for this relocation and many people who will suggest it. The truth is, though, that there
are also some obvious reasons why you shouldn’t move your business to Poland.
Let’s start with the most common reason to move your company to Poland: lower taxes. In case
you don’t know, corporate tax in Poland is 19% (while in UK it’s 20%). However, if you are
setting up a company in the UK, they will provide all the necessary support and advice you
need to run it. On the other hand, if you want to set up a company in Poland, you will be
surprised how hard it can be. You will have to find a place where you could rent an office (good
luck finding one), get someone with accounting knowledge who speaks English (not so easy)
and it doesn’t end here. Wouldn’t it be easier to just stay in the UK?
The second reason why most people think of moving their companies to Poland is cheap labour.
In Poland, there are more people than jobs. The unemployment rate is around 6% and
companies have a hard time finding good employees. This means that they are willing to hire
you for less money than in the UK or other Western European countries. The Polish people are
cheap and they work hard. You will not have any problems finding someone who can do a
simple job for you. However, if you need to hire someone with a bit more experience or
education, the salary may increase significantly. In addition, the Polish people can be quite lazy
sometimes and they don’t care much about quality of their work.
Most companies that operate across Europe have to deal with the fact that each country has its
own set of laws and regulations. However, it is not always easy to find a partner who can take
care of all the legal aspects in another country as well as you would do yourself. This is why
moving your company to Poland makes sense. Poland offers a wide range of benefits for such
transactions, which are particularly advantageous for foreign companies.
