Can I run a business from abroad with a virtual office in Poland?
If you are sitting on a terrace in Spain with a coffee in one hand and a laptop in the other (or vice versa) and wondering whether you can continue to run a Polish company from this paradise, the answer is: Yes! You can. And it's completely legal.
All thanks to the magic of two words: virtual office. It sounds like Elon Musk's startup, but it operates here in Poland, and quite down-to-earth. Well, maybe not literally – because most owners of such companies are floating above the ground with joy that they don't have to stand in line at the post office.
Company in Poland, You in Portugal – isn’t that forbidden?
Absolutely not. Polish law does not require you to be physically present in the country to conduct business activity. You can live anywhere: in Berlin, Bangkok or Białka Tatrzańska.
Condition? Your company must have a formal registered office. And you can have one, for example, in virtual office in Poland.
It's a bit like the neighbor's cat - theoretically it's not yours, but it's always there for you.
What does a virtual office give you when you are abroad?
✔️ Registration address in Poland – the place you provide to CEIDG, offices, ZUS and to that aunt who still doesn't know what you do.
✔️ Correspondence handling – someone receives letters, scans them, forwards them and – most importantly – does not forget about it, like you did in 2018 with the PIT.
✔️ Peace of mind - you don't have to explain where you are, why you don't receive registered letters and why your NIP starts with PL and you're sitting under a palm tree.
Won't the tax office be offended?
No. Really. As long as you have a registered business in Poland, pay taxes where they are due, and don't try to run an international smuggling operation under the guise of selling handmade goods, you're fine.
Virtual office provides a real address that you can officially claim and no one will chase you for the fact that your office has Wi-Fi from Spain.
But how is it done?
- You set up a company in Poland – even without visiting the country, everything online
- You provide the virtual office address as your company headquarters
- The operator receives your correspondence, and you – running a business from anywhere in the world – focus on your work (or the life of your dreams)
To sum up:
Can you run a business from abroad with virtual office in Poland?
You can. You should. And it's even worth it!
This is a solution for those who:
- they prefer the ocean to open space
- they value independence and mobility
- they like it when letters come to someone else, and they don't ruin their vacation
So if your laptop has more sun freckles than you do and you want to have your company headquarters in the center of Krakow (even if you are in the center of Lisbon) – virtual office is the perfect solution for you.
Virtual office it is a prestigious address, correspondence handling and complete freedom of action – wherever you are.
