How it works

How company registration under S24 works

The S24 procedure is the fastest route to a limited company when the structure is standard and contributions are in cash. Four steps.

  1. Data and structure

    We establish the shareholders, capital amount, share allocation and the company's representation model.

  2. Electronic signatures

    Shareholders sign the articles electronically via qualified digital signature or trusted profile.

  3. KRS registration

    The court registers the company under the S24 procedure, typically within a few working days.

  4. Post-registration

    We file notifications with the tax office (NIP-8) and the beneficial owners register, providing a roadmap for the first steps.

Who should use this service

The S24 procedure is the fastest and most cost-effective way to establish a limited company in Poland when the structure is typical: shareholders contribute cash and the articles follow the official template. Registration takes just a few working days without a notary visit. We handle everything from articles configuration through all filings required immediately after registration, so your company operates compliantly from day one.

When the traditional route is better

The S24 template has limits. If you need non-cash contributions, preferential shares, additional shareholder contributions (dopłaty), complex share transfer rules or detailed representation provisions, the articles must be drawn up as a notarial deed. We discuss which path fits your plans during the initial consultation, so you do not discover later that the standard template blocks necessary solutions.

HWW experience in shareholder disputes

HWW acted for a minority shareholder leaving a company after a deadlock in its management board. Resolutions on the sale of key assets were challenged and suspended by way of interim relief, the court upheld the claim for access to company information and documents under article 212 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code, and a settlement reached after several months of negotiation gave the client ten times the payment initially offered for the shares (case description). Shareholder agreements drafted at the outset are what keeps such disputes from arising. Each case has its own facts, so this outcome does not predetermine another.

What the fee depends on

  • Number of shareholders and method of share allocation
  • Scope of post-registration filing support
  • Additional resolutions at startup (e.g., grant of commercial proxy, shareholder consent)

We agree the fee individually, at an hourly rate or as a flat fee, and confirm it before we start.
