    How do I find the right registered entity in Poland?

    A registry entity search in Poland identifies which specific legal entity you are dealing with when a name is shared across several. KRS / CEIDG distinguishes them by registration number, entity type (Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością), S.A. (Spółka akcyjna), Sp.k. (Spółka komandytowa)) and registered address.

    Step-by-step

    1. 1

      Search the name and expect several hits

      Groups commonly register holding, trading and dormant entities under near-identical names. The first result is not necessarily the one you are dealing with.

    2. 2

      Disambiguate by registration number

      The registration number is unique. If a counterparty cannot give you theirs, that is itself informative.

    3. 3

      Compare entity type and address

      Where the number is unavailable, entity type (Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością), S.A. (Spółka akcyjna), Sp.k. (Spółka komandytowa)) and registered address usually separate the candidates.

    4. 4

      Record which entity you chose

      Contracts are with an entity, not a brand. Note the registration number you verified so later checks look at the same record.

    Poland: choosing and checking the right record

    Choose the correct source
    Choose KRS for entities within the National Court Register and CEIDG for sole-trader registration. Use the official government search routes rather than assuming every Polish business must have a KRS record.
    Confirm the entity
    Keep KRS, NIP and REGON numbers distinct. Compare the full legal name and available address with the contracting entity. Read representation rules separately from the list of management-board members.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why do several Poland entities share the same name?

    Groups register separate legal entities — holding, operating, dormant — under closely related names. KRS / CEIDG treats each as a distinct entity with its own registration number.

    How do I tell which entity I am contracting with?

    By registration number. Ask the counterparty for it, then confirm that exact number on KRS / CEIDG. Name alone is not sufficient.

    Is entity search on KRS / CEIDG free?

    Check official search, account and fee rules. LemReveal's basic lookup is separate from official document and subscription charges.

    Does the biggest entity in the results matter most?

    No. What matters is the entity named on your contract or invoice. A dormant shell and a trading company in the same group look similar in a name search and carry very different risk.

    What is a sp. z o.o.?

    Sp. z o.o. (Spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością) is Poland's limited liability company, equivalent to a GmbH or Ltd. Minimum share capital is PLN 5,000 (about €1,100). It's the most popular company form for small and medium businesses.

    Is the Poland company register free to search?

    Yes. Basic company lookups on the KRS / CEIDG are free — you can search by company name or registration number, view legal status, registered address and (usually) directors at no cost. Some jurisdictions charge a small fee only for downloading full filed documents.

    What is the official Poland business registry?

    The KRS / CEIDG is the official public register of companies incorporated in Poland. It is operated by the government and is the primary source cited on this page — https://ekrs.ms.gov.pl.
