Polish Businessmen Take Their Businesses Out of Poland

The number of Polish companies deciding to register companies outside Poland grew 20% y/y to over 4k annually, the daily Puls Biznesu writes citing Polish trust companies association SPP's data.

Poles register their business abroad to save on taxes or take advantage of better conditions for business, trust company Opustrust CEO Agnieszka Rzepecka told the daily.

Perhaps Polish companies realise the potential of exporting and trading overseas more than their British counterparts do at the moment. The ease with which Polish companies can set up in the UK is just one example of why Polish exports are on the increase and British exports to Poland are reducing year on year.

Why is it that the British Exporter FAILS to see the opportunity that is staring themin the face by exporting to Poland? With sterling at such a low value the opportunity is sitting there for the UK companies to grab with both hands - yet they fail to do so. WHY?

Perhaps the new ' Business Incubator' service which Export Poland has just started will help to resolve this. With the Business Incubator, British and overseas companies can be trading in Poland within 48 hours of setting up with a Company, Bank account and all relevant tax registrations. They will look after every aspect of the incubation and create the business opportunity for the company as well.

EUROPEAN COMMISSION Approves Public Assistance for Polish Dell Plant

The European Commission okayed 54.5 million euros of regional aid for establishing Dell Products Poland's computer manufacturing plant in Łódź, yesterday.

The Commission decided that the investment project will significantly contribute to the regional development and job creation in a disadvantaged region of Łódź province, and that these benefits outweigh any potential negative effects of the aid on competition and trade.

The total value of Dell's investment in Łódź amounts to 189.6 million euros.

This is fantastic news for the Łódz region as Dell has already proved themselves to be one of the largest employers in the region making Łódź a huge centre for electronic manufacturing and assembly

We now need more and more companies from the UK and Europe taking up the opportunities that exist in Poland's second largest city.
