// What we deliver

Eight workstreams.
One accountable team.

Most companies fail at Polish entry not because of strategy, but because no one owns the seams between legal, hiring, distribution and marketing. We do.

01 / 08

Legal entity & office

Company setup (Sp. z o.o. / branch), bank accounts, VAT/EU-VAT, accountants, payroll, leased or virtual office in Warsaw, Wrocław or Kraków.

02 / 08

Distribution network

Sourcing and onboarding distributors, wholesalers and retail chains. Contracts, margins, exclusivity, regional coverage. We did this for TerraMax (US → PL).

03 / 08

Hiring & first team

Country manager, sales reps, customer support, warehouse staff. Vetted via partner agencies and our own network of 1500+ industry contacts.

04 / 08

Marketing & PR launch

Launch campaign, performance media, influencer seeding, trade press, industry events. Polish-language brand voice that doesn't sound translated.

05 / 08

Localization done right

Native Polish copy for product, packaging, web, sales decks and legal terms. Not translation — adaptation. Cultural and legal nuance built in.

06 / 08

Logistics & warehousing

3PL partners, customs, last-mile, returns. Whether you ship from Hamburg, Rotterdam or Gdańsk, we plug you into a working flow.

07 / 08

Compliance & contracts

GDPR, consumer protection, distributor agreements, employment law, sector-specific permits (food, cosmetics, agro, electronics). Vetted law firms in our network.

08 / 08

Brand recognition

From zero awareness to a recognized name in your category. Owned media, earned media, distributor co-marketing, industry endorsements.

// Frequently asked

What boards usually ask first.

Because Polish market entry breaks at the seams: legal doesn't know logistics, the agency doesn't know distributors, the accountant doesn't know GDPR for your sector. We sit in the middle, own the timeline, and coordinate every external specialist so you have one weekly call instead of seven.

// Ready when you are

Let's plan your
Polish launch.

Mutual NDA. 45-minute discovery call. Within 5 working days you get a written entry plan with scope, timeline and budget brackets — yours to keep, no obligation.
