A Stable EU Base for Tech, Fintech and Web3 Companies

Poland is one of the strongest emerging hubs for technology, fintech and web3 operations in the European Union. The country combines straightforward company formation, access to the EU Single Market, competitive tax rules and a fast regulatory setup for digital businesses. Many founders choose Poland when they want a practical EU base for software, platform, blockchain, AI or digital-asset projects without the cost or friction of larger Western European jurisdictions.

Digital Lawyers assists with incorporation, governance, compliance and licensing pathways for web3 and tech companies operating in or from Poland.

Corporate Structuring and Taxation

Tech and web3 companies in Poland are usually incorporated as Spółka z o.o. (Sp. z o.o.), the standard private limited company used across the industry. Their key advantages include:

Low Share Capital

Low minimum share capital (PLN 5,000).

Remote Formation

Fully remote company formation.

Director Requirements

No mandatory local director, although using an EU resident simplifies operations and banking.

Tech Ecosystem Access

Access to Poland’s fast-growing tech ecosystem and EU expansion routes.

In terms of taxation, the corporate income tax is 19%, with a 9% rate for qualifying small taxpayers, while the VAT rate is 23%. R&D and IP development incentives are available for software and tech-heavy companies, which makes Poland attractive for founders building SaaS platforms, fintech products, digital infrastructure, and early-stage blockchain applications.

Poland’s EU MiCA Framework & CASP Licensing

Poland is rolling out its full EU MiCA framework, which brings all crypto and digital-asset companies under one clear authorisation regime called the CASP licence. This gives founders legal access to the entire European market through passporting.

2.

CASP Licensing Requirements

CASP licensing is suitable for companies that plan to operate wallets, exchanges, token platforms, staking services or hold customer assets. Capital requirements range from EUR 50,000 to EUR 150,000 depending on the services offered. A local office, a resident compliance officer and basic governance functions are required. Existing VASPs can operate during a transition period until mid-2026, provided their CASP application is filed on time.

3.

Support for Founders and Licensing Applications

We support both early-stage founders who want a simple Polish company for general tech or web3 development and teams planning to obtain full CASP authorisation. Our work covers incorporation, capital structuring, AML design, internal policies, governance, fit-and-proper assessments and the complete licensing application.
