Market entry into Poland and CEE, run end to end

I run market entry and CEE hub operations for international mid-market companies as a single accountable operator, on fixed-term mandates of six to twelve months with a defined handover at the end.

Poland has capable law firms, tax advisors, accountants and recruiters. What foreign companies lack is someone who manages them on behalf of a foreign board — who speaks to leadership as a peer and to local suppliers as a principal. That gap is what the mandate fills.

Our Story

Poland has capable law firms, tax advisors, accountants and recruiters. What foreign companies lack is someone who manages them on behalf of a foreign board.

I spent 13 years as that person for a global principal — running its Polish operation from 16 people to 400, across 11 markets. I now do a smaller version of it, for one company at a time, on a fixed term that ends with a handover.

No equity, no supplier commission, three mandates at most.

I run Polish and CEE market entry for international mid-market companies. Before that, 13 years running a foreign principal's Polish operation — 16 people to 400, across 11 markets. Law degree, Kozminski University.

What Sets Us Apart

One accountable operator, not a team

Every decision, supplier and hire runs through one person who reports to your board weekly. You get one counterpart instead of five providers sending five reports and no decisions. Maximum three mandates at a time, so the attention is real.

Paid by you and by nobody else

No commission or referral fee from any supplier, adviser or partner I recommend, in any form. It is a clause in the mandate agreement, not a policy statement — which is why the advice about who to use is worth having.

Built to be reversible

Entry is sequenced so you know the cost of withdrawal before each commitment. Formal reviews at month 3 and month 6, and the engagement ends at the close of any month with nothing owed. Everything is handed over at the end, however it ends.

Commonly Asked Questions

On fixed-term mandates of six to twelve months, embedded in the leadership team and reporting to the board weekly. It starts with a paid three-to-four-week assessment that ends in a go or no-go recommendation, and finishes by recruiting a permanent manager and handing over. Extension is available; nothing renews automatically.

For a mid-sized company, budget €150,000–400,000 for the first twelve months with a Polish entity, or under €80,000 selling cross-border with one person through an employer of record. Registration itself is roughly two percent of the total — around four fifths is people.

A Polish limited company registers in one to two weeks electronically, or two to four weeks through the traditional route. VAT and VAT-EU registration is separate and is where most timelines slip. Closing a company, by contrast, takes at least six months by statute.

I work with them. Poland has capable specialist firms and there is no reason to duplicate what they do. I select, contract and manage them, and consolidate their work into one line of reporting. I take no commission or referral fee from any of them.

Yes, and it is often the cleaner arrangement. The sponsor contracts the mandate, the portfolio company hosts it, and reporting goes to both. A six-to-twelve-month mandate sits inside any hold period and closes before an exit process begins.
