Our goal is to help our Clients succeed by overcoming any differences in Polish business practices and culture.
Many companies in Europe and North America are interested in the Polish market, but lack sufficient understanding of business specifics and local market conditions in Poland. Furthermore, without Polish language skills they may feel constrained and unable to effectively communicate with their potential business (export/import) partners.
Poland offers entrepreneurs both numerous opportunities and challenges. On the one hand, the country is attractive due to its stable economy, growing market, and favorable investment conditions. On the other hand, some argue that Poland is not a friendly country for entrepreneurs, and that running a business can be difficult due to bureaucracy.
