Registering
a business branch abroad

We register branches of companies abroad from all jurisdictions
in Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany and many other countries.

Conducting cross-border business activities frequently requires registering a branch of your company abroad. Registering a business abroad may be due to contractual requirements or directly result from the applicable legislation. Under the laws of the country in which we will provide our services or sell goods, certain scopes of subjects may require the registration of a business branch abroad.

Registering a business branch abroad
– what do you need to know?

To register a business branch abroad, several formalities need to be completed. The branch must have a registered address and, in some countries, a physical office. A business branch abroad is a separate and independent organisational part of an enterprise in its home country but does not have a separate legal personality from the parent company. The branch may incur obligations on behalf of the parent company. You should keep in mind that a registered business branch abroad is not in itself a separate legal entity; it cannot function entirely separately from the parent company, so its activity remains closely linked to the activity in the country of registration of the parent entity.

What do you need
to register a business branch abroad?

Registering our business branch abroad usually requires learning about the rules and standards applicable in the country where we will be registering our business branch abroad. In addition, we have to take into account the implementation of the reciprocity principle, determine the competent court register for registering a business branch abroad, and the elements of the motion to enter a business branch abroad. That is why the amount of work and the need for significant, substantive knowledge are often beyond the reach of most entrepreneurs. Consequently, it is necessary to be proficient in the maze of regulations applicable in a different country, which often turns out to be an insurmountable obstacle that hinders the development of one’s business.

Our law firm has extensive experience registering business branches abroad and has the substantive and practical experience necessary for this type of project. We register business branches abroad from all jurisdictions in Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Germany, and many other countries. In addition, we will also assist you in registering a business branch abroad for VAT and income tax purposes. We will tell you which documents the country registering the foreign business branch will require during the process, what you need to prepare, and what costs you should expect. We will commission the necessary certified translations and indicate where the appropriate fees should be paid.
